Abstract: A cable connector assembly is disclosed. The cable connector assembly includes a housing member having a first end and a second end defining a passage therebetween. The housing member includes a first engaging portion and a second engaging portion coaxially extending from the first end and the second end, respectively. The housing member is adapted to accommodate at least one terminal block to electrically connect a first cable and a second cable. Further, the cable connector assembly includes a first clamping member adapted to be partially inserted in the first engaging portion of the housing member and to coaxially align with the passage to accommodate insertion of the first cable therein. The first clamping member is adapted to elastically deform to clamp the first cable.

Abstract: The invention comprises a monitoring and incident management system for an aircraft including an on-board system on the aircraft, an incident management center on the ground, and a redundant secure communications link between the on-board system and the incident management center. The on-board system includes components that assist the aircraft crew in identifying and defending against potential threats to the aircraft, such as suspicious passenger activity. The incident management has access to a wide variety of information concerning the aircraft and activities taking place on the aircraft, as well as the ability to transmit commands to the on-board system. The on-board system includes a cockpit door module that combines double-doors and biometric identification to prevent unauthorized access to the cockpit.
