Abstract: Methods and systems for providing remote virtual views to an occupant of a structure are disclosed. In one example, a method includes capturing, by a plurality of cameras, images external to a structure. A distribution device receives images from the plurality of cameras. The distribution device selectively transmits the images to at least one display device within the structure. The at least on display device receives the images and displays the images on an interior surface of the structure.

Abstract: A method for health monitoring of a damper associated with a landing gear is described which includes receiving sensor data from a pressure transducer and an accelerometer and optionally a thermal sensor operably mounted on or near the damper, a computer system, and applying, using the computer system, a diagnostic algorithm to the sensor data to induce and predict the health of the damper.

Abstract: A method for monitoring systems of a vehicle may include determining relevant information used by at least one of a plurality of wireless networked computers based on at least a function performed by the at least one wireless networked computer with respect to an associated one of a multiplicity of components of the systems of the vehicle. The method may also include formulating a customized information message for the at least one of the plurality of wireless networked computers based on at least the relevant information used and the function performed by the at least one wireless networked computer. The method may further include transmitting the customized information message to the at least one of the plurality of wireless networked computers.
