  • Publication number: 20230159152
    Abstract: A system for an automated cabin-divider door for an aircraft includes a door, a motor for moving the door to an open position, a limit switch configured to detect when the door is in a fully open position and to stop the motor, and electronics coupling the motor and the limit switch to an avionics system. The avionics system determines when the door is to be opened and provides a signal to the motor for moving the door to the fully open position. A method for automatically opening the cabin-divider door includes determining whether the aircraft is on the ground or in flight, determining whether the aircraft is taxiing, and determining whether the aircraft is in a final phase of approach. When the aircraft is taxiing or in the final phase of approach, the method includes sending a command signal to the motor for opening the cabin-divider door.

  • Publication number: 20180081815
    Abstract: Systems and methods for accessing a cache include determining if a current access of the cache will satisfy an expected relationship with a next access of the cache, wherein the cache is a set-associative cache comprising multiple ways. The next way for the next access is stored in a next way field associated with the current access. If the expected relationship will be satisfied, such as a sequential relationship which will be satisfied in the case of an instruction cache when the current access does not cause a change in control flow, the next way for the next access is retrieved from the next way field associated with the current access. The next way of the cache is then directly accessed using the retrieved next way.
