  • Patent number: 10621757
    Abstract: In a method for producing a 2D image (18) of a 3D surface (2) on a viewing area (8) of a vision cone (12) which extends from a viewing position (14) to the 3D surface (2), wherein at least one marker location (20a,b) is assigned to the 3D surface (2), assigned to each image location (24) of the viewing area (8) is a depth dimension (T), which is correlated to the respective distance (A) between the viewing area (8) and the 3D surface (2) along a respective straight line (26) from the viewing position (14) through the image location (24) to the 3D surface (2), for at least one of the marker locations (20a,b) located within the vision cone (12), a marker field (28a,b) is produced in the 2D image (18), wherein the marker field (28a,b) in the 2D image (18) is placed as closely as possible to the image location (24a,b) of the marker location (20a,b), with the additional condition that all image locations (24) of the marker field (28a,b) have depth dimensions (T) which are greater than the depth dimension (Ta,b) of

  • Patent number: 10579521
    Abstract: A method for allocating addresses to passenger service units (PSUs) and a service controller for a passenger cabin of an aircraft are provided. A coding device of the controller defines multiple coding parameters each corresponding to an installation position of a PSU. Each coding parameter defines a coding value. The PSUs are installed at respective installation positions in an installation space. A head unit of the controller communicates with the PSUs. In response to a start command, a respective coding value is determined at a respective installation position of a respective PSU. A respective waiting time is determined from the respective coding value according to a time rule. A response is transmitted to the head unit for each PSU upon expiration of the waiting time from the start command. Upon receiving the response, an address is allocated to a PSU which transmitted the response.

  • Publication number: 20190121774
    Abstract: In a method for allocating a respective address (Aa-e) to a plurality of PSUs of a service arrangement for a passenger cabin of an aircraft, a start command is transmitted to all PSUs, a respective coding value (Pa-e) of a coding parameter (P) is determined at an installation position of the respective PSU, a respective waiting time (Wa-e) is determined from the coding value (Pa-e) according to a time rule, a response (Ra-e) is transmitted to a head unit on expiry of the respective waiting time (Wa-e) and an address (Aa-e) is allocated to the responding PSU in response to the reception of the response (Ra-e).
