Abstract: A radar scan conversion protocol is defined to communicate radar data from application servers to thin clients with reduced network bandwidth requirements. The radar scan conversion protocol may be implemented as an extension to existing thin client protocols. The system is also capable of transmitting audio and video data through the application servers to the thin clients using appropriate compressed formats in order to minimize network bandwidth requirements.

Abstract: An apparatus for supplying hot bleed air for anti-icing of a jet engine and cooled bleed air to an environmental control system includes a first duct (17), a second duct (5) and a front frame (10) coupled to the front of a jet engine (23). The first duct (17) is positioned to route hot bleed air from the jet engine (23) to the front frame (10). The second duct (5) is positioned to receive cooled bleed air from the front frame (10) for routing to an environment control system of an aircraft. Regulating/shutoff valves (15) are connected in the first duct (17) to control the flow of the bleed air in accordance with conventional control techniques. The apparatus further includes an aerodynamic vane (3) to support the second duct (5).
