Abstract: An ultrasonic cable tie system is disclosed herein. The ultrasonic cable tie system includes a housing having a tying portion for receiving a bundle of wires to be tied into a cable. The tying portion has an aperture for dispensing a cable lacing filament from a filament spool and for receiving a free end of the cable lacing filament after being positioned around the bundle of wires. The ultrasonic cable tie system also includes a controller coupled to a tensioning member for tightening the cable lacing filament, an ultrasonic welder for fusing the cable lacing filament, and a filament cutting device for cutting the cable lacing filament. The ultrasonic cable tie system is activated by a system actuator causing the controller to secure the bundle of wires together into the cable with the cable lacing filament having a flat fused portion adjacent to a surface of the cable.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention includes an aircraft instrumentation system for a cockpit instrument panel having a first device associated with a first pilot of an aircraft and positioned on the instrument panel substantially in front of the first pilot. The first device may include a first display and a first controller, which may have a set of controls for controlling the first display and aircraft systems. The instrumentation system may also include a second device associated with a second pilot of the aircraft and positioned on the instrument panel substantially in front of the second pilot. The second device may include a second display and a second controller, which may have a set of controls for controlling the second display and the aircraft systems. The instrumentation may be configured such that at least one of the first display and the second display presents attitude, altitude and airspeed at all times.
