Abstract: A device for detecting a frosting intensity for an aircraft in flight includes a surface for collecting the frost and measuring means capable of measuring the thickness of the frost deposited on the frost collection surface. The device further includes calculation means configured to determine, at predetermined time intervals (Tsamp), the change in the thickness of the frost, and control means configured to generate an alarm signal when the difference in the thickness of the frost measured between two time intervals (Tsamp) is greater than a threshold value.

Abstract: An aircraft wing element comprises two temperature sensors that are situated on each side of an electrothermal mat, between a structure portion and a shield of said wing element. A shield temperature can be measured more accurately, and a thermal energy flow that is transferred to the shield can be evaluated.

Abstract: A method of distributing electric current to electrical outlets, and a program to implement same, including the steps of supplying electric current to the electrical outlets not yet connected to an electronic device upon receipt of a distribution request from the electrical outlets; determining the instantaneous current intensity supplied to the electrical outlets; comparing the determined current intensity to a threshold referred to as the maximum threshold; and when the predetermined current intensity is greater than the maximum threshold, selecting an electrical outlet and terminating the supply of electric current to the selected electrical outlet. The steps of selection and termination being carried out while continuing the step of supplying electric current to the electrical outlets not yet connected to an electronic device upon receipt of a distribution request from the electrical outlets.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of distributing electric current to electrical outlets (18), and a program to implement this method. The method comprises the following steps: Supplying electric current to the electrical outlets (18) not yet connected to an electronic device (20) upon receipt of a distribution request from said electrical outlets; Determining the instantaneous current intensity supplied to the electrical outlets; Comparing said determined current intensity to a threshold referred to as the maximum threshold; When the predetermined current intensity is greater than said maximum threshold, selecting an electrical outlet and terminating the supply of electric current to said selected electrical outlet; the steps of selection and termination being carried out while continuing the step of supplying electric current to the electrical outlets not yet connected to an electronic device upon receipt of a distribution request from said electrical outlets.
