Appl. No.:

11/321572

Inventors:

Richard Hess - Bellevue WA, US
Paul DeHerrera - Tucson AZ, US
Brian Eckmann - Seattle WA, US
Richard Gleason - Lacey WA, US

International Classification:

G08G 1/123
G08B 21/00
H04H 1/00

US Classification:

340995140, 340995260, 455003010, 340945000

Abstract:

A system and method directed to providing a communication system for receiving data from sources outside the aircraft, storing the received information and then presenting the received information on a portable display device having a screen that may be read with the necessary information. The portable display device may interface with a docking station for receiving the data from a communication management unit and then removed and passed freely among flight attendants or other personnel on the aircraft. Further, the portable display device may be interfaced with other docking stations in other parts of the aircraft to communicate with the communication management unit.

Abstract:

A signal selection and fault detection system that provides triple functional redundancy using the outputs (Y. sub. A, Y. sub. B) of two unmonitored primary channels and the output of one or the other of two complementary filters (22, 34) that each receive and process a signal (Y dot IRU) that is derived from a third, independent primary signal source (18) and that is representative of the rate or first derivative of the primary signals (Y. sub. A, Y. sub. B). During non-failure conditions, the system output (Y. sub. CF1) is generated by a normal mode complementary filter 22 from the synthesized rate signal (Y dot IRU) and the selected (10) midvalue one of this output signal (Y. sub. CF1) and the primary signals (Y. sub. A, Y. sub. B). In the event of a suspected failure in one of the primary signals, the output (Y. sub.
