  • Method for controlling the authorization of a person to access a secure area
    Patent number: 9117108
    Abstract: A method for controlling the authorization of a person to access a secure area, particularly a cockpit of a passenger aircraft, is provided. According to the method, an access control apparatus for detecting a set of biometric features is provided, which apparatus can be enabled by entering a predetermined access code. The access code is transferred by the person to the access control apparatus. The access control apparatus detects a set of biometric features of the person transferring the access code. The set of biometric features of the person are saved. Access for the person for a predetermined time period is subsequently enabled. Solely verifying the set of biometric features of the person seeking access allows access to be enabled again for the person during the predetermined time period.

  • Method of Monitoring the Control of Image Representations, Particularly from Safety-relevant Raw Data
    Publication number: 20080205853
    Abstract: In order to check the operation of graphics generation carried out with safety-relevant raw data, in particular sensor data, for instance by geometric transformation and image filtering, test vectors are also processed in addition to the preprocessed raw data. The resulting video data are compared with the expected values in order to infer therefrom possible malfunctions. This eliminates complex back calculation of the video data for comparison with the graphics instructions or raw data on which the video data is based.
