Abstract: In one aspect of the method for displaying an image on a screen of a cockpit of an aircraft, control means: control a first display on the screen of an image comprising a background; and then control a second display so that, in at least one zone of the image that is determined independently of the background, the background presents a non-zero second mean luminance that is less than a first mean luminance that it presented during the first display. In another aspect, the control means control the display on the screen of an image comprising a background in such a manner, that at least in a zone of the image that is determined independently of the background, the background presents non-zero mean luminance that is less than mean luminance of the remainder of the background.

Abstract: A display system manages the states of two cursors that are situated on an interactive window of a display screen, as a function of the last actions carried out by the crew.

Abstract: Disclosed is a display system for an aircraft cockpit. The display system includes a plurality of display devices, each of which comprises at least one viewing screen configured to display a display format, and a cursor management unit linked to each display device and configured for moving a cursor over sensitive objects on the viewing screens of the display devices.

Abstract: An installation for detecting and displaying the failures of the functional systems of an aircraft is described. The installation can include both a general alarm system (4) connected to said functional systems (2) and to the auxiliary alarm detection means (5) originated from said functional systems, and a complementary alarm system (6), connected to said functional systems (2), independently from the general system (4), and able to indicate a breakdown not detected by the general system on the instrument panel of the cockpit.

Abstract: A process for routing virtual links in a frame-switching network including a plurality of source and/or destination terminals of the frames, in which frame switches are connected to one another by physical connections, with each virtual link being defined, for a point-to-point type, by a path through the network between a source terminal and a destination terminal, and, for a multipoint type, by a plurality of paths through the network between a source terminal and a plurality of destination terminals. The process performs the routing of links by minimizing at least one cost function on a set of solutions satisfying at least one predetermined topological constraint.

Abstract: A dialogue device deactivation/activation unit for deactivating layers of an interactive window which are associated with systems of the aircraft that are not selected.

Abstract: A process for transmitting data between at least one display screen in a cockpit and at least one remote client system includes at least one computer, in which the display screen displays a first request to send a message in a first communication protocol; this message is sent to the remote client system over a first link using a second communication protocol. A request to confirm a message is generated and displayed on the display screen via a communication interface designed to receive and generate messages in this first communication protocol and to receive and generate messages that can be received by the remote client system.

Abstract: A display system automatically presents a format in accordance with a prerecorded display configuration, upon a change of format on a screen of the display system.

Abstract: A system and a method for data transmission between at least one display screen and a remote client system. A first request to send a message via a first communication protocol is caused to be displayed on the display screen, and the message is transmitted to the remote client system via a second communication protocol. A control unit monitors the remote client system. The system induces the generation, and display on the display screen, of a request for confirmation of the first request, by the intermediary of a communication interface, which interface is designed to receive and generate messages in the first communication protocol, as well as to receive and generate messages suitable for being received by the control unit.

Abstract: A data integrity checking system in a frame-switched on-board network, including at least first and second asynchronous transmitter terminals, with the second transmitter terminal being in charge of monitoring the first transmitter terminal, and at least first and second receiving terminals, with the second receiving terminal being in charge of monitoring the first receiving terminal. The system includes a first multicast virtual link connecting the first transmitter terminal to the receiving terminals, a second virtual link connecting the first receiving terminal to the second transmitter terminal, the second virtual link not passing through any of the switches that are common to the branches of the first virtual link, a third virtual link connecting the second transmitter to the first receiving terminal in order to transmit thereto the result of an integrity check on the data received by the first receiving terminal.

Abstract: A display system for an aircraft includes a device for controlling the presentation on a head-down screen of primary piloting information during a detected display defect on a head-up display device, which normally displays such primary piloting information.

Abstract: The display system (1) comprises means (6) for controlling the presentation on a head-down screen (E1 to E3) of primary piloting information, during a defect of display on a head-up display means (3) which carries out the display of such primary piloting information.
