Abstract: A system for enhancing vision inside an aircraft cockpit may include a primary display system configured to receive the signals related to flight data and display visual representations based on the flight data. The system for enhancing vision may also include a supplemental display system, including a mask configured to provide a substantially sealed barrier between a wearer of the mask and at least one of smoke and fumes in the cockpit. The supplemental display system may also include a video display device associated with the mask. The video display device may be configured to receive the signals related to the flight data and display the visual representations based on the flight data, wherein the video display device is associated with the mask such that the wearer of the mask is able to see the visual representations based on the flight data displayed by the video display device.

Abstract: In a preferred embodiment, the present invention provides an improved method and system for testing a graphical user interface program. The preferred embodiment provides improved performance over prior methods because it decouples the testing of an program's engine component from the testing of its GUI component. The preferred method begins the testing process by invoking test functions that send data to the program's engine component. The data simulates user action on the graphical user interface of the program. In response to receiving the data, the engine component processes the simulated user action as if it had been sent from the graphical user interface component. The preferred method captures the results of this processing and uses the results to determine whether the engine component is performing properly.
