  • Publication number: 20240236057
    Abstract: A secure network interface system includes a secure domain interface, a processing system, a network function device, and a network interface. The processing system is configured to send and receive information within secure systems, transmit configuration data for the network interface, compile data from the secure systems into a plurality of data packets, and transmit the plurality of data packets to the network function device without being physically capable of receiving data packets from the network function device, thus providing a demonstration of security partitioning. The network function device receives the configuration data, configures the network interface using the configuration data, and provides discrete feedback to the processing system regarding a configuration status. The network interface sends the plurality of data packets to one or more external unsecure systems and to limits a communication protocol type received from one or more external unsecure systems.

  • Publication number: 20240212365
    Abstract: A biometric sensing system for an aircraft cockpit includes an infrared camera, infrared illuminators, and a CPU. The infrared camera is mounted in a flight deck display surface of the cockpit and has a field of view including an upper body region of a flight crew member when the flight crew member is seated in the cockpit. The infrared illuminators are mounted in the flight deck display surface and directed to illuminate the upper body region of the flight crew member when the flight crew member is seated in the cockpit. The CPU can communicate instructions to the infrared camera and infrared illuminators, receive image data captured by the infrared camera, and process the image data captured by the infrared camera in order to determine an alertness level of the flight crew member based on at least one biometric characteristic within the captured image data.
