Arnaud BRANTHOMME has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11225335
    Abstract: An aircraft operational state monitoring system is provided that includes a module for acquiring a logic state of a plurality of components of the aircraft, the components belonging to airplane systems. The aircraft operational state monitoring system includes a module for determining the operability status of a plurality of macroscopic functions of the aircraft, each macroscopic function being defined independently of the components and airplane systems necessary for the performance of the macroscopic function, the operability status being determined based on logic states of the plurality of components between an operational status and at least one nonoperational status. The aircraft operational state monitoring system includes a display and at least one graphic display management assembly on the display, configured for displaying, on the display, summary indicators of the operability status of the macroscopic functions of the aircraft.

  • Patent number: 10861342
    Abstract: A system for displaying information related to a flight of an aircraft and an associated method are provided. The display system comprises a dynamic synthesis image generating module, configured to generate at least two successive transition synthesis images between an image according to a first type of perspective and an image according to a second type of perspective, or between an image according to a second type of perspective and an image according to a first type of perspective, respectively, and to command the display thereof at successive transition moments.

  • Patent number: 10467989
    Abstract: A system for visualizing an aircraft procedure having several alternate sequences and related process are provided. The system includes a display and a display management assembly on the display, making it possible to display successive steps of the procedure on the display. The display management assembly able to display, on the display, an active step of an active sequence of the procedure, at least one prior step preceding the active step in the active sequence of the procedure and defining one alternative among several series of steps, and at least one step after the active step in this active sequence of the procedure, without displaying a step of the procedure situated on an inactive sequence of the procedure that may be accessible from any step before the active step.

  • Patent number: 10339820
    Abstract: A system for displaying information related to a flight of an aircraft and an associated method are provided. The display system comprises a display device, a man-machine interface, a module for dynamically generating synthesis images, each comprising a synthetic depiction of the environment and a curve representative of a trajectory, said module being configured to generate a first synthesis image centered around a first central point of interest, to command the display thereof, and to detect an action to modify the central point of interest by an operator via said man-machine interface. The generating module is also configured to determine, as a function of said modification action, a second central point of interest, situated along said curve whatever said modification action is, to generate a second synthesis image centered around said second central point of interest, and to command the display thereof.

  • Publication number: 20170183085
    Abstract: A system for controlling and monitoring pieces of equipment of an aircraft, each piece of equipment being able to be switched between two logic activation state values, comprising a man-machine interface, a module for configuration of a functional activation state of a function able to be performed on at least pieces of equipment of a system of the aircraft, the functional activation state being configurable between an active state and an inactive state, the configuration module being adapted for detecting an action of selection of a functional activation state of the function by an operator, and a control and monitoring module configured for determining a logic activation state of each of the pieces of equipment of the system, so that, when each of the pieces of equipment is in the determined logic activation state, the function is in the selected functional activation state.
