Publication number: 20230336626Abstract: A communication system for an aircraft includes a first data concentrator, a first plurality of communicating devices for sending data to the first concentrator by wireless transmission. The first concentrator broadcasts at least one parameterisation signal for parameterising an operating cycle of the system and each communicating device sends a unique identification signal to the first concentrator, in response to this parameterisation signal, the first concentrator assigning a plurality of separate time windows valid for the cycle and each given communicating device transmitting data intended for the first concentrator via the channel associated with the time window assigned to this given device and only during this window.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2021Publication date: October 19, 2023Inventors: Roméo GIORGIO, Nicolas FANTON, Nicolas LIPARI, Jean-Marc OBADIA

Patent number: 11760332Abstract: The invention relates to a method of diagnosing the state of wear of an actuator including at least one electric motor. The method comprises the following steps: recording a signal coming from the motor during activation and deactivation of the actuator, the signal including a first maximum during activation and a second maximum during deactivation; executing a windowing algorithm on the signal in order to obtain a standardized dataset including the first and second maximums; using at least one classification method for classifying into at least two classes in order to establish a score for the dataset in each of the classes of the classification method; and evaluating the state of wear of the actuator from the scores of the dataset.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2019Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignees: SAFRAN ELECTRONICS & DEFENSE, SAFRAN LANDING SYSTEMSInventors: Adrien Perigord, Nicolas Lipari, Mathieu Bruno

Patent number: 10504308Abstract: A method for collecting operational data from an aircraft having a display screen for operational data. The method includes using a mobile terminal equipped with at least one optical sensor, images of the display screen are acquired in such a way that at least some of the acquired images represent operational data displayed on the display screen; using an optical character recognition (OCR) module associated with said mobile terminal, character strings each representative of one piece of said operational data displayed on the display screen are identified in the acquired images; and using a report generation module and said identified character strings, an electronic report is generated containing at least some of said operational data of the aircraft.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2017Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignees: SAFRAN HELICOPTER ENGINES, SAFRAN ELECTRONICS & DEFENSEInventors: Emmanuel Couturier, Nicolas Fanton, Nicolas Lipari, Fabien Lamazere, François Thermy, Emmanuel Gaschignard

Patent number: 8892741Abstract: In an embodiment, a method of facilitating presentation and user selection of at least one timeslot, such as for an appointment, is presented. In this method, a request for available timeslots within a time period is received from a user device. In response, timeslot data identifying the available timeslots is retrieved from a scheduling system. An identifier key for each of the available timeslots, as well as graphical display data indicating the available time slots, are generated based on the timeslot data. The keys and the graphical display data are transmitted to the user device. A selection of at least one of the identifier keys is received from the user device. In response to receiving the selection, the at least one available timeslot corresponding to the selection is determined and forwarded to the scheduling system to reserve the at least one corresponding available timeslot.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2011Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Nicola Lipari, Rolan Abdukalykov
