  • Publication number: 20230308417
    Abstract: A building management system network includes a Master-Slave/Token Passing (MS/TP) communication bus. The network further includes a number of Building Automation Control network (BACnet) devices, including a first BACnet device and a second BACnet device, coupled to the MS/TP communication bus. The network further includes a number of bridge devices, including a first bridge device, connected to the MS/TP communication bus. The first bridge device is located on the MS/TP communication bus between the first BACnet device and the second BACnet device. The first bridge device includes a processing circuit and a memory. The processing circuit is configured to receive a first MS/TP packet from the first BACnet device and selectively forward the first MS/TP packet to the second BACnet device based on a first security configuration. The first security configuration is stored in the memory.

  • Patent number: 11554877
    Abstract: The present invention achieves technical advantages as a pilot and passenger seating. An aircraft employs a pilot seat, comprising a contoured structure having ergonomically formed and padded surfaces, with left and right arm supports that include an articulated control knob, movable in three rectangular axes and rotatable about a vertical axis to provide one or more aircraft steering functions for an aircraft, and a touch-sensitive control surface for controlling one or more power system components. A passenger seat, having a contoured structure, having ergonomically formed and padded surfaces, a headrest, a seat, a left support member, and a right support member are adapted to cradle a portion of a passenger's body to support the passenger during travel.
