Abstract: Described herein is an example method for aligning an aircraft with a centerline of a runway during takeoff. The method includes accessing a first image captured by a first camera mounted on a first side of the aircraft; accessing a second image captured by a second camera mounted on a second side of the aircraft that is opposite the first side; determining a first angle between a first marked line on the runway in the first image and a first reference line in the first image; determining a second angle between a second marked line on the runway in the second image and a second reference line in the second image; and based on the first angle and the second angle, moving a control surface of the aircraft such that the aircraft moves closer to the centerline of the runway.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide for a four-channel Wireless Data Concentrator (WDC) for a data network of an aircraft. One embodiment of a WDC includes a Printed Circuit Board (PCB), and a controller. The controller is electrically coupled to a top surface of the PCB and is proximate to a centerline of the PCB. The WDC further includes four Radio Frequency (RF) transceivers electrically coupled to the top surface of the PCB that are disposed orthogonally to each other around the controller. Each RF transceiver communicates with at least one wireless sensor that measures an environment of the aircraft. The WDC further includes four inverted-F PCB trace antennas fabricated along the top surface of the PCB. Each inverted-F PCB trace antenna is electrically coupled to one of the RF transceivers and is disposed orthogonally to each other around the controller.

Abstract: A distributed digital projection system is disclosed which includes a plurality of smart projectors coupled to a head end server computer via a network. Each smart projector has a first network interface coupled to the network. Each smart projector is configured to receive commands and digital content, to process the received commands, and to convert the received digital content into a projection light signal for output. Each smart projector may include a second network interface to allow a daisy-chain network configuration. The head end server computer is configured to issue commands and to forward digital content to each of the at least one smart projectors, the commands specifying at least a time for display of the digital content. The digital content is stored on either network attached storage device coupled to the network or on a storage device directly coupled to or integrated with the head end server computer.

Abstract: A structure and a first panel are operably disposed with respect to the structure. A first plurality of nodes is disposed within the first panel, including a first plurality of power distribution network nodes in a first power distribution network, and wherein the first plurality of nodes further comprises a first group of nodes. A second panel is operably disposed with respect to the structure. A second plurality of nodes is disposed within the second panel, including a second plurality of power distribution network nodes in a second power distribution network isolated from the first power distribution network. The second plurality of nodes further comprises a second group of nodes. A bus guardian, separate from the two panels, electrically connects the first panel and the second panel.
