Abstract: A control system for aiding the operator of a vehicle or platform, such as an aircraft. The system includes a receiver adapted to receive a voice command from a controller located remotely from the vehicle or platform. A speech recognition device is coupled to the receiver and adapted to compare the voice command to speech recognition templates of known voice commands. A match between the voice command and a speech recognition template is indicative of informational content of the voice command. A display device coupled to the speech recognition device displays to the operator of the vehicle or platform a visual representation of the informational content of the voice command.

Abstract: A connector assembly includes a connector body having at least one terminal, an electrical conductor connected to and extending away from the terminal, and a one-piece, molded grommet/seal member. The grommet/seal member is injection-molded around a portion of the connector body, the point at which the electrical conductor and terminal are connected, and at least a portion of the electrical conductor. A portion of the grommet/seal member is formed so as to sealingly attach to an opening in a housing. The grommet/seal member is formed of a flexible material, such as neoprene, so as to allow the connector body to be laterally displaced for purposes of alignment with a mating connector assembly.
