  • Patent number: 12284553
    Abstract: A wireless communication method and protocol for wireless RF transmission of duplex audio in a flexible and self organizing network, especially audio data packets may be communicated according to a DECT protocol. Each wireless RF device is arranged to operate as a synchronization master or a synchronization slave, and where a negotiation algorithm is used to negotiate with other wireless RF devices present within wireless range to determine roles of master and slave(s). This allow wireless RF devices to leave or join groups of wireless RF devices within wireless range of each other, and still the synchronization master role is negotiated, and only one synchronization master is selected, whereas the remaining wireless RF devices will operate as synchronization slaves. Each wireless RF device performs a scanning of supported RF frequencies or channels to detect other wireless RF devices within wireless range.

  • Patent number: 12116145
    Abstract: A device for creating a stiffened region on an outer structure of an aircraft for subsequently providing a service access if required is disclosed having an outer structure, a reinforcing plate which is mounted in a predetermined installation region on an inner side of the outer structure and forms a contact surface between the reinforcing plate and the outer structure. The reinforcing plate has a through-opening along the surface normal of the contact surface, and a connecting material which connects the reinforcing plate to the outer structure in an edge region of the contact surface by substance-to-substance bonding and/or by interlocking engagement.

  • Patent number: 11945604
    Abstract: An aircraft includes a control computer, load determining unit, first central inertial measurement device and a second inertial measurement device. The load determining unit is coupled to the first inertial measurement device and the second inertial measurement device. The load determining unit can receive instantaneous first accelerations detected by the first inertial measurement device and instantaneous second accelerations detected by the at least one second inertial measurement device and from this to determine instantaneous loads acting on the aircraft and to store them in a memory unit and/or to transmit them to an external unit. The load determining unit can determine expected maneuver accelerations. The load determining unit can subtract the expected maneuver accelerations from detected first accelerations and second accelerations and determine externally induced dynamic accelerations.

  • Publication number: 20230396711
    Abstract: A wireless communication method and protocol for wireless RF transmission of audio data from a plurality of wireless RF devices (portable parts PP) to a wireless RF receiver device (fixed part FP) using a full slot DECT protocol. The FP broadcasts in each frame, a multiplex of control information to the plurality of PPs. The PPs receive the multiplex of control information, and extract control information intended for each individual PP from the multiplex of control information. Preferably, the PPs are synchronized to transmit audio data in respective time slots covering both time slots in first and second half of the frame. This allows a high number of PPs to be connected to one FP still at a high audio quality with low latency, since both the normal uplink and downlink parts of the DECT frame are used for audio data transmission.

  • Patent number: 11772338
    Abstract: A composite component system includes a base component with a first component fiber ply and a second component fiber ply and a repair insert with a first repair fiber ply and a second repair fiber ply. The base component is connected to the repair insert by an adhesive joint. The first component fiber ply has an interface surface connected to the interface surface of the first repair fiber ply by the adhesive joint. The second component fiber ply has an interface surface connected to the interface surface of the second repair fiber ply by the adhesive joint. The first component fiber ply has a fiber orientation corresponding substantially to a fiber orientation of the first repair fiber ply. The interface surface of the first repair fiber ply completely overlaps the interface surface of the first component fiber ply.

  • Publication number: 20220312273
    Abstract: A wireless sensor device for wireless transmission of sensed medical data to a medical monitoring and/or intervention device. The sensor device has a sensor element for sensing a physical parameter related to a body of a living person or animal. A wireless RF transmitter and receiver serves to transmit data packets with the sensed physical parameter, and to also receive data packets, in accordance with a TDMA based network protocol. A processor system controls operation of the wireless RF transmitter and receiver, including that the sensor device can operate as wireless RF synchronization master or slave, and the sensor device can negotiate according to a deterministic negotiation algorithm to appoint one of a plurality of wireless RF devices connected to the TDMA based network as wireless RF synchronization master, if it is detected that no master is available.

  • Patent number: 9162745
    Abstract: An aircraft fuselage has an integrated energy-absorbing deformation structure. The fuselage includes annular frames, longitudinal fuselage beams interconnecting the annular frames, and a covering forming a fuselage skin. A lower floor structure is disposed in an interior of the fuselage. The lower floor structure includes a plurality of transverse beams connected to an assigned frame and longitudinal floor beams which interconnect said transverse beams. The deformation structure is formed in a lower fuselage region disposed below the lower floor structure. The deformation structure includes a first inelastically deformable central region and, on a left-hand side and a right-hand side, respective second inelastically deformable regions of greater stiffness in the vertical direction than the central region.
