  • Patent number: 8928497
    Abstract: A method monitors at least one avionic system connected to a communication medium that includes at least one active communication switch component. The method includes determining a state of the switch component and evaluating an indicator of a state of the communication medium from the state of the switch component and from a predetermined modeling of communication flows of the communication medium. The method also includes selecting and activating an alarm according to the evaluated state of the communication medium and according to a predetermined modeling of consequences of the evaluated state of the communication medium on a function of the at least one avionic system. A corresponding device and a method for determining conditions for alarm activation are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8638239
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system (1) and an associated method for managing audio warning messages in an aircraft. The system (1) comprises a plurality of monitoring systems (10, 20) capable of detecting the establishment of at least one warning condition (CA), and comprises a central broadcasting module (40), to which each of the monitoring systems is connected and which is capable of broadcasting an audio message (SIG) corresponding to a detected warning condition. In particular, in this system (1), the said central broadcasting module (40) comprises means (402, 420) for determining at least one priority warning condition among the warning conditions detected by the monitoring systems, and means (410, 430) for generating at least one audio message (SIG) corresponding to the at least one determined priority warning condition, in order to broadcast it.

  • Patent number: 8510278
    Abstract: In the method of loading data on board an aircraft), a data set is loaded into on-board equipment of the aircraft, the data set comprising at least: a first version of a database that is identical to a version already in use in the aircraft; and a second version of the database. The database preferably relates to an aircraft warning system.

  • Patent number: 8374734
    Abstract: In the method of controlling an aircraft, a device implements the steps consisting in determining a first global value on the basis of only some amongst first individual values calculated by respective applications, modifying at least one parameter to take account of how the determination step took place and determining a second global value on the basis of second individual values calculated by the respective applications and on the basis of the parameter(s).

  • Patent number: 7940195
    Abstract: A method for updating a content of a given warning message emitted in an aircraft by a monitoring system in case of detection of a particular state of at least one monitored system of the aircraft, the method including a step of delivery of a plurality of modification information items to a selection tool, each modification information item defining a modification of a content of a warning message capable of being emitted by the monitoring system, the selection tool being capable of selecting at least one information item among the plurality of modification information items in such a way as to permit modification of the content of the given warning message.

  • Publication number: 20100176972
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for monitoring avionics systems connected to a shared medium. A preliminary phase is aimed at determining the conditions of activation of each alarm of each avionics system connected to the communication medium. These conditions are related to each avionics system and to the state of the communication medium. The monitoring phase comprises a step of determining the state of the elements of the communication medium and a step (455) of evaluating an indicator of the state of the communication medium on the basis of the state of the elements of the communication medium and on the basis of a predetermined formal modelling of the communication streams of the communication medium. An alarm is selected and activated (470) depending on the evaluated state of the communication medium and depending on a predetermined modelling of the consequences of the evaluated state of the communication medium on the operation of the avionics systems.
