Abstract: Systems and methods for automated wiring and configuration verification are disclosed. A plurality of data buses may be tested utilizing a verification method disclosed herein. The verification method may include: transmitting a unique data sequence on each particular data bus of the plurality of data buses from a transmitting unit to a receiving unit, wherein the transmitting unit and the receiving unit are connected at least in part utilizing the particular data bus; analyzing a data sequence received at the receiving unit to determine a connection correctness for the particular data bus; and reporting the connection correctness for each particular data bus of the plurality of data buses to a user. The verification method is capable of not only detecting the presence of each bus, but also verifying the integrity of the connection provided by each bus. Various types of wiring faults may be detected effectively and efficiently.

Abstract: A vehicular system includes a wearable device and a computing device. The wearable device is configured to be worn by an operator of a vehicle. The wearable device includes a sensor configured to measure a physiological state of the operator. The wearable device is configured to output physiological data indicative of the physiological state of the operator or operator health alert data indicative of a determined health problem associated with the operator. The computing device includes a processor configured to receive the physiological data associated with the operator or the operator health alert data from the wearable device and to determine whether the operator is experiencing a health problem based on the physiological data or the operator health alert data.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a diagnostic system for complex systems such as avionics systems. The diagnostic system acquires a description of the system from a variety of design tools and creates a causal network model as an intermediate step. From the causal network model, the diagnostic system builds and compiles a Q-DAG model of the system, which is then embedded in the central maintenance computer of the aircraft. The present invention integrates two elements, a graphical user interface (GUI), which acts as a data capture tool and graphical display of the avionics system and an inference system, which acts as a diagnostic tool with a presenter. The presenter permits diagnosis of faulty sub-systems and a report may be relayed to remotely located maintenance crews to minimize repair time upon arrival of the aircraft.
