  • Patent number: 9207310
    Abstract: A locating device for locating at least one apparatus which is arrangeable on board a transport unit, for example an aircraft, a locating system having such a locating device and at least one apparatus to be located, an aircraft having a locating system of this type, an associated method for locating at least one apparatus which is to be located and is arrangeable on board a transport unit, for example on board an aircraft, and a computer program for carrying out the method. The locating device includes a detecting unit for detecting a wireless audio signal transmitted by the apparatus to be located; and a computing unit for determining the distance of the apparatus to be located from the detecting unit based on the wireless audio signal and on a first information signal assigned to the audio signal and transmitted via a first deterministic data connection.

  • Publication number: 20150278618
    Abstract: A technique of determining an actual number of passengers on board a means of transport, for example on board an aircraft. A system embodiment comprises a camera arrangement configured to acquire image data on board the means of transport, and a processing unit configured to determine the actual number of passengers on board the means of transport, based on the acquired image data. The camera arrangement comprises at least one of one or more cabin corridor cameras and one or more cabin door cameras. The one or more cabin corridor cameras are configured and arranged to acquire image data of at least one or more cabin corridors of the means of transport. The one or more cabin door cameras are configured and arranged to acquire image data of one or more cabin doors of the means of transport.

  • Patent number: 9071455
    Abstract: The present invention provides for devices and methods for the transmission of data over nodes of a specific network. A device may comprise at least two network nodes, a bus having a transmitting line and a receiving line for interconnecting the network nodes. The respective network node has a fault protection circuit which is to bypass the network node in the event of a fault and is capable of reversing the polarity of the transmitting line and of the receiving line, a detection means for detecting a reverse in polarity of the transmitting line and of the receiving line by the respective upstream network node, and a fault-locating means for locating a fault in the upstream network node when a reverse in polarity of the transmitting line and of the receiving line has been detected.
