Abstract: Systems and methods to fuse aviation-related data systems for comprehensive aircraft system health monitoring are provided. One example method includes obtaining, by one or more computing devices, fault data indicative of a plurality of fault indications provided by a first plurality of components of an aircraft. The method includes obtaining, by the one or more computing devices, condition indicators describing the respective operational conditions of a second plurality of components of the aircraft. The method includes fusing, by the one or more computing devices, the fault data with the condition indicators to form a comprehensive data set. The method includes identifying, by the one or more computing devices, one or more causes of the plurality of fault conditions based at least in part on the comprehensive data set. One example system includes a data fuser, a cause identifier, and an alert generator.

Abstract: Systems and methods for formatting aviation data for improved aircraft fault detection, diagnosis, and maintenance are provided. One example method includes determining a plurality of available parameters associated with an aircraft. The method includes matching the plurality of available parameters against a plurality of desired parameters to identify a plurality of matched parameters that are both desired and available. The plurality of matched parameters are useful to perform fault diagnosis and prognosis for the aircraft. The method includes determining a priority level for each of the plurality of matched parameters. The method includes creating a standardized maintenance-optimized data frame configuration based at least in part on the plurality of matched parameters and the priority level for each of the plurality of matched parameters.

Abstract: A satellite communication system includes a global bandwidth enforcer that allocates bandwidth from the global bandwidth pool in accordance with a group service plan having a predetermined geographic scope. The system further includes an allocation of bandwidth from the one or more channels of the one or more beams of a first satellite in accordance with the group service plan. The system further includes a second satellite access station that receives an allocation of bandwidth from the one or more channels of the one or more beams of the second satellite in accordance with the group service plan. The system further includes a first sub-network associated with the first satellite access having a coverage area in the predetermined geographic scope of the group service plan, where the first sub-network receives an allocation of bandwidth from the first satellite access station in accordance with the group service plan.

Abstract: A fastening clip comprises: a body (1) made of a relatively rigid molded plastic material and provided with a head (2), a foot (3) and a flange (4) that is disposed at the junction between the head and the foot, and a sealing washer (5) made of a second, relatively flexible molded plastic material and fastened to the periphery of the flange. The washer is fastened to the flange by a cohesive chemical bond resulting from fusion between the first plastic material and the second plastic material during the molding process.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fixing device with a clip base (3) for introduction into a recess. The clip base (3) has a base shaft (4) running from a head piece (1), provided with a number of wings (7, 8), arranged on the peripheral edges of the base shaft (4). The base shaft (4) comprises a number of boundary edges (5, 6), between which a cavity (20) is embodied. The fixing device thus has a relatively light and flexible embodiment.

Abstract: A tubular sheathing channel assembly for housing bunched cables. The assembly includes a longitudinally slit sheathing wall of elastic plastic material and includes a pair of projections which are molded on along the slits (2) and which are formed with an L-shaped cross-section, and which are embraced by C-shaped clamp members. Clamp walls (13) of the clamp member (5) are guided on the projections (4) such that they may be moved in a longitudinal direction and are equipped with fastening portions (6) in order to anchor the sheathing wall (1) on a carrier plate (21). The projections (3) preferably are equipped with an interlockable groove and tongue (10) and (11) on the inside walls (9).

Abstract: A cable for holding a bundle of cable lines of different sizes having a channeled body (1) which can be anchored to a support, the body having a baseplate (2), two side walls (3 and 4) and a plurality of covering brackets (6) integrally hinged to the upper edge of one of the walls (3). The brackets have at their free ends latching lugs (10) which, when the brackets are closed, interact with corresponding locking tabs (8) on the wall (4). To be able to bundle together the cable lines in the cable duct and thus provide protection against rattling noises, toothed cable ties (12), which extend around the inner sides of the channel body, are provided in the regions of the covering brackets (6), the cable ties being connected at one end to the body in the region of the wall (4) and, when the brackets (6) are closed, interacting at their free end with a cable tie locking tooth (15).
