  • Publication number: 20240113557
    Abstract: A system for analyzing energy usage measures one or more parameters indicative of energy usage for a plurality of sub-circuits, where the sampling rate for the measuring is substantially continuous, and automatically transmits information related to at least one of the measured parameters at a rate that enables monitoring of current energy usage. The system further detects a significant change in a measured parameter, determines whether the significant change in the measured parameter is caused by a change in energy usage, and automatically transmits information related to the significant change in the measured parameter caused by the change in energy usage after detecting the significant change.

  • Publication number: 20240038075
    Abstract: In the field of air navigation, a computer-implemented method includes loading an initial active flight plan for an aircraft comprising a first approach procedure to a runway up to a missed approach point ending between the missed approach point and a final point; loading a secondary flight plan comprising an approach procedure to the runway between the missed approach point and the runway, and a second missed approach procedure at the end of the approach, and ending at a second final point; receiving an instruction from an operator of the aircraft to link the initial active flight plan and the secondary flight plan; in the event of a go-around by the operator at the latest at the missed approach point, activating the missed approach procedure; otherwise, automatically selecting the secondary flight plan as active flight plan and activating the second approach.

  • Patent number: 11860661
    Abstract: Systems and methods dynamically assess energy efficiency by obtaining a minimum energy consumption of a system, receiving in a substantially continuous way a measurement of actual energy consumption of the system, and comparing the minimum energy consumption to the measurement of actual energy consumption to calculate a substantially continuous energy performance assessment. The system further provides at least one of a theoretical minimum energy consumption based at least in part on theoretical performance limits of system components, an achievable minimum energy consumption based at least in part on specifications for high energy efficient equivalents of the system components, and the designed minimum energy consumption based at least in part on specifications for the system components.

  • Patent number: 10621875
    Abstract: A method for automatically calculating a trajectory for an aircraft to re-join a reference route of the aircraft executed iteratively, in particular when the aircraft is no longer locked onto its reference route, each iteration comprising a step of detection of deviation from the active segment of the route; if the deviation from the active segment of the route is detected, the method comprises a step of selection of a route segment to be re-joined, a step of calculation of a re-joining trajectory between a starting point and the route segment to be re-joined, and a step of validation of the trajectory of the route segment to be re-joined. Where this trajectory is validated, the method comprises a step of assignment of the re-joining trajectory for the segment to the re-joining trajectory for the route. Otherwise, it comprises a step of verification of the existence of a next route segment fulfilling a selection condition.
