  • Patent number: 6952590
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for providing a multi-channel, multi-user wireless intercom, comprising a plurality of multi-channel wireless transceiver radios configured to form a radio unit. Each user in a group of users employs a radio unit to communicate with other users in the group. Users may selectively communicate with another user or broadcast simultaneously to all users in the group. Additionally, subnets between users may be formed where communications take place among a number of selected users comprising less than the entire group of users. Receive and transmit audio combiners are employed such that users can hear communications traffic on one or more channels and transmit on one or more channels, simultaneously.

  • Patent number: 6424891
    Abstract: An Aircraft Ground Power Unit (“AGPU”) is a mobile vehicle, preferably self-propelled, on which is mounted an enclosure. Within the enclosure are a number of subsystems, each of which provides a service required by a stationary aircraft for servicing and diagnostic testing prior to flight. Such services include electrical power, hydraulic power, engine-start capability (bleed-air), conditioned air (hot or cold) for the aircraft's equipment recesses or interior, and nitrogen to inflate struts and operate power tools. The control, status, configuration, and automation of all of the subsystems contained within the enclosure are consolidated under computer control. The enclosure and the subsystems contained therein can be readily mounted on and dismounted from the vehicle.
