Patent number: 9719799Abstract: An electronic flight bag for an aircraft includes a display device and a processing system. The display device is operable to render various images. The processing system is in operable communication with the display. The processing system is configured to receive various types of data from various aircraft systems and is operable, upon receipt of the data, to supply display commands to the display device that cause the display device to automatically render various images. These images may include, among other things, flight manual pages, checklists, approach charts, maintenance data, and various navigation displays. The electronic flight bag may also implement the functions of various other aircraft systems and devices.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2008Date of Patent: August 1, 2017Assignee: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Anil Kumar Pandit, Srikanth Rao, Nayyar Azam Khan Rao, Nagaraj Sham Bhat

Patent number: 8868787Abstract: A method for providing flight information to a ground server is provided. The flight information is received from an aircraft system. The flight information is converted into a graphical representation and a plurality of properties associated with the flight information. The graphical representation and the plurality of properties is stored. The graphical representation and the plurality of properties is processed to generate a compressed graphical representation and plurality of properties having a compressed file size. The compressed plurality of properties is transmitted to the ground server.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2007Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventor: Anil Kumar Pandit

Patent number: 8335601Abstract: A system for automated fault analysis and execution of post-flight or pre-flight tests for an aircraft is provided. The system includes a maintenance test client system onboard the aircraft, and a ground-based maintenance test server system that is remote from the aircraft. The maintenance test client system is configured to collect fault data for the aircraft, and to wirelessly transmit the fault data to the ground-based maintenance test server system after the aircraft has landed. The ground-based maintenance test server system is configured to receive the fault data, to generate a test checklist that is influenced by the fault data, and to transmit the test checklist to the maintenance test client system. The maintenance test client system wirelessly receives the test checklist, and initiates execution of at least one test specified in the test checklist.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2009Date of Patent: December 18, 2012Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Nagaraj Sham, Anil Kumar Pandit, Kiran Halappa

Patent number: 8121593Abstract: A system and method for aircraft communications is provided. The system includes a first wireless base station deployed in a first aircraft and configured to establish one or more wireless links, and a second wireless base station deployed in a second aircraft and configured to establish one or more wireless links. At least one ground-based wireless base station is configured to operatively communicate with the first wireless base station or the second wireless base station while the first aircraft and the second aircraft are in flight. During flight, the first and second wireless base stations establish one or more wireless links with each other to create a wireless network for air-to-air communication.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2008Date of Patent: February 21, 2012Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Anil Kumar Pandit, Nagraj Sham, Srikanth Rao

Publication number: 20080077590Abstract: Implicit journaling of a file operation relating to a file stored in a flash memory is performed by locking a semaphore corresponding to the file on which a file operation is to be performed, by initializing journaling of the file operation using the file map, by performing the file operation on the file, by completing journaling of the file operation using a file map corresponding to the file, and unlocking the semaphore. Additionally or alternatively, a file system is placed in a stable state following an interruption occurring during a file operation by scanning File Maps corresponding to the files, determining whether a file operation is incomplete based on validity flags contained in the file maps, and performing remediation so as to eliminate the incomplete file operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2006Publication date: March 27, 2008Inventor: Anil Kumar Pandit
