Abstract: In some examples, a computing device is configured to monitor an air quality of a vehicle cabin by at least receiving, from a plurality of remote sensors distributed throughout the cabin, signals indicative of one or more air quality parameters for air in the cabin. Based on the received signals, the computing device can determine if values for the one or more air quality parameters are indicative of an air quality event and generate an output in response to such a determination. The output may include, for example, an audio or visual indication of the air quality event or a signal to control another system of the aircraft to take action to remedy the air quality event.

Abstract: A method of measuring a gas concentration is described. The method comprises illuminating, with a light source, a volume of space that includes a gas and measuring, with a detector, a first illumination level of the volume of space. The method further comprises determining, via a processor, a gas concentration in the volume of space based on the measured first illumination level, where the volume of space is configured to be in fluid communication with a gas recirculation flow path including a catalyst, the catalyst configured to substantially remove the gas from the volume of space.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to methods, computer program products, and systems for calibrating one or more remote sensing devices in an environment. The disclosed technology relates to a calibration device configured to determine measurement data within an environment. The calibration device may transmit the measurement values, or other calibration data items, to a remote sensing device via a wireless link while the remote sensing device stays with a structure in which the remote sensing device is commissioned to operate. In response to receiving the calibration data items, the remote sensing device may adjust one or more settings of the remote sensing device in order to satisfy a calibration threshold.

Abstract: In some examples, an air treatment system includes a filter, an ozone sensor, and a separator configured to separate air into a nitrogen-enriched gas and an oxygen-enriched gas. The filter is configured to remove ozone from an air stream and supply filtered air to the separator. The ozone sensor is configured to sense an ozone level of the filtered air issuing from the filter prior to encountering the separator. The air treatment system may include processing circuitry configured to monitor the ozone level sensed. The air treatment system may be part of an inerting system configured to supply the nitrogen-enriched gas to an ullage space of a fuel tank.

Abstract: A fault detector for detecting valve movement of a valve in a fuel injector of an engine system, the valve includes an electromagnetic actuator arranged to move the valve between first and second valve positions, the engine system includes a sensor for sensing a current through the actuator. The detector includes a controller arranged to control the sensor; receive sensor data related to the current through the actuator; analyze the received data for current discontinuities; and output a valve movement signal dependent upon the current discontinuities. The controller is arranged to sense current during a finite sampling window, move the sampling window from a first window position to a later window position for one or more subsequent injection events; determine a new sampling window position on based a valve movement signal output the two preceding windows; and feedback the new sampling window position for a subsequent injection event.

Abstract: A fault detector for detecting valve movement of a valve in a fuel injector of an engine system, the valve comprising an electromagnetic actuator arranged to move the valve between first and second valve positions during a valve cycle, the engine system comprising a sensor for sensing a current through the actuator. The detector comprises a controller arranged to control the sensor; inputs for receiving from the sensor data related to the current through the actuator; a processor arranged to analyze the received data for current discontinuities; and outputs for outputting a valve movement signal in dependence upon the current discontinuities determined by the processor.
