Abstract: A system for monitoring and reporting data storage status of one or more line replaceable units installed in an aircraft. A data storage monitor onboard the vehicle is in communication with each of the line replaceable units. A storage status is reported, and a storage status log is generated for each line replaceable unit. The storage status logs are communicated to a base station over a communication link established between the base station and the data storage monitor for storage within a repository. The base station has a status log aggregator that generates a report from the storage status logs, an interface for an external management application to access the storage status logs, and an alarm that generates notifications to a predefined destination based upon an evaluation of the storage status logs against one or more alert rules.

Abstract: A safety device (19) for a battery (12) being designed so that an electrical connector (18) can be connected to the positive (14) and negative (16) electrical terminals of the battery (12) in a first (A+, A?) or a second (B+, B?) connection position, the safety device (19) being adapted to be selectively positioned in a first or a second safety position so that only the desired connection positions are accessible to an electrical connector (18). A battery including the safety device or a set of such batteries and a method for making such a set of batteries safe.

Abstract: A seat box for connection to an electrical power supply of a vehicle for making power available through power controlled outlets for PEDs. The seat box including ports each configured to connect to an outlet, distribution circuitry for distributing power among the ports from the vehicle for supply to an outlet connected to the port; a processor in communication with each port configured to receive and send data to an outlet connected to the port; and a power load manager executed on the processor. The power load manager receives data from each controlled power outlet connected to one of the ports, indicating power supplied from the outlet and requests for power. The power load manager when receiving a request for power from an outlet for which there is insufficient power available to meet the request, controlling the outlet drawing the most power to reduce power, and supplying at least some power to the controlled power outlet from which the request was received.
