  • Patent number: 10899470
    Abstract: An aircraft landing light with static function switching for producing at least two beams having different characteristics, in particular different orientations and/or openings, comprises an array of light-emitting diode lighting modules (6) each comprising at least two sets of at least one light source (S1, S2), operable selectively and statically to provide at least one of the lighting functions. Each lighting module (6) comprises a common converging lens (L) for the light sources, the converging lens comprising a light input optical surface (Li) and a light output optical surface (L2), said light sources being positioned in relation to the light input optical surface.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10246199
    Abstract: A Light Emitting Diode (LED) light for an aircraft includes a hollow cylindrical body, a plurality of LEDs mounted in the hollow body, and at least one reflector to receive light beams emitted by the LEDs and configured to direct the light beams in a lighting direction of the LED light. The LEDs are mounted on a cylindrical support and disposed radially in the cylindrical body, and the cylindrical support has a polygonal contour.

  • Patent number: 9594863
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining by optimization a multi-core architecture and a way of implementing an application on the architecture for a given application, the method comprising: providing a parallelized application and candidate architectures comprising different hardware blocks, defining a first exploration space whose elements are the different ways of implementing the application on each of the candidate architectures, selecting, in the first exploration space, the elements verifying a criterion to obtain a second exploration space, determining, in the second exploration space, the elements verifying a criterion to obtain a third exploration space, computing the number of data exchanged between the hardware blocks for each of the elements of the third exploration space to obtain a fourth exploration space, and optimizing the elements of the fourth exploration space according to a criterion.
