  • Publication number: 20230315056
    Abstract: A method for temporarily closing openings in an aircraft part during a manufacturing process by providing a first part that has a first opening and positioning a temporary closure member inside that first opening. The temporary closure member has an RFID tag that has stored on it a unique identification. At a later stage in the aircraft manufacturing process, a scanning device is used to scan for the RFID tag based on the identification. The temporary closure member is removed from the first opening and subsequently replaced by a permanent member.

  • Patent number: 11161586
    Abstract: An insulation pack for thermally and acoustically insulating an aircraft has a mat formed from an insulation material, and a casing film which completely encases the mat. The casing film has drying openings, each closable a cover that is connected to the casing film. Each cover has a coating substance, the planar extent of which varying as a function of the relative air humidity of the air in the interior of the insulation pack such that each cover moves relative to the casing film, as a function of air humidity. The associated covers are adapted for assuming an orientation which, below a predetermined relative air humidity, closes the associated drying opening and which, at higher relative air humidity values, at least partially opens the associated drying opening.

  • Publication number: 20190122512
    Abstract: A system for monitoring access to a vehicle has a control unit, a plurality of sensor devices configured to be fastened to an outer side of the vehicle, are coupled to the control unit and are configured to capture objects in a three-dimensional manner in a field of view of the sensor devices, and at least one signal output device coupled to the control unit. The sensor devices are configured to capture objects in spatial areas predetermined by the relevant sensor devices and to transmit capture data representing the capture of objects to the control unit. The control unit is configured to receive and use the capture data to detect an object approaching a predefined monitoring area covered by the predetermined spatial areas of the sensor devices. The control unit is configured to transmit a control signal to the signal output device if an object is detected.
