  • Publication number: 20190325718
    Abstract: A method of monitoring the opening of a container, the method comprising the steps of: putting a monitoring device into a closed mode of operation (11) when detection means detect that the container is closed, in which mode a communications module sends closed messages at a first status repetition rate; when the detection means detect that the container is open, putting the monitoring device into a warning mode of operation (12) in which the communications module sends open messages at a second status repetition rate; and when the monitoring device is in the warning mode of operation (12) and the communications module receives an opening validated message, putting the monitoring device in an opening validated mode of operation (13) in which the communications module sends open messages at a third status repetition rate.

  • Publication number: 20190118978
    Abstract: A monitoring system for monitoring a piece of aircraft equipment, the system comprising a master electronic module and a slave electronic module, each fitted with first wireless communication means, the slave electronic module further comprising measurement means for the purpose of taking measurements of a parameter of the aircraft equipment, and power supply means making the slave electronic module independent in terms of energy, the master electronic module further comprising detector means adapted to detect a stage of flight in which the aircraft is to be found, and control means for acting via the first wireless communication means to control the measurement means of the slave electronic module so as to adapt the measurements taken by the measurement means to the detected stage of flight.

  • Publication number: 20190002120
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for monitoring the ageing of a landing gear of an aircraft, implemented by an autonomous measurement device installed on said landing gear and comprising sensors and a memory for storage, and comprising: after a landing of the aircraft, a stand-by step comprising detection by means of said sensors of the position of the landing gear at a first sampling frequency, for as long as the position of the landing gear is detected as vertical; after detection of a horizontal position of the landing gear, a sleep step comprising detection by means of said sensors of the position of the landing gear at least at a second sampling frequency, for as long as the position of the landing gear is detected as horizontal; after detection of a vertical position of the landing gear, a measurement step comprising acquisition by means of said sensors of physical parameters relating to the ageing of the landing gear, and detection of a landing of the aircraft at a third sampling frequency unt
