Abstract: A mobile satellite communication gateway includes an aircraft communication interface and a satellite communication interface. The aircraft communication interface is designed to make a bidirectional data connection between the satellite communication gateway and a data network of an aircraft, while the satellite communication interface is designed to make a bidirectional data connection between the satellite communication gateway and a satellite communication network. The satellite communication gateway includes a signal processing device, which is coupled to the aircraft communication interface and the satellite communication interface and which is designed to interchange data between the data network of the aircraft and the satellite communication network.

Abstract: An interactive aircraft cabin window display system and a method for interactive visualization of information in an aircraft cabin are described. The display system includes a display assembly DA integratable into an aircraft cabin window, a passenger monitoring assembly PMA, an environment monitoring assembly EMA, and an information visualization assembly IVA. The DA is adapted for displaying variable images on a screen such as a semi-transparent screen integrated in the aircraft cabin window. The PMA may be implemented using for example an eye-tracking camera or a touch-screen and is adapted for detecting a direction into which a passenger is looking or pointing through the aircraft cabin window. The EMA is adapted for acquiring a representation such as an image of an environment outside the aircraft cabin window.

Abstract: A position-monitoring device for persons in tunnel systems having an evaluation device. Reliable determination of the position of persons in the tunnel system is achieved because a locally distributed arrangement of wireless transceiver units is installed in the tunnel system, at fixed anchoring points known to the evaluation device, in the spaces to be monitored. Persons are equipped with mobile sensors. Transceiver units have wireless data-transmission interfaces via which, on one hand, can be placed in a wireless data-transmitting connection to the mobile and, on the other hand, can be placed in a wire-bound or wireless data-transmitting connection to the evaluation device. Programs with which the position of the persons can be determined on the basis of detection data of the transceiver units are stored in the evaluation device.
