  • Publication number: 20200186239
    Abstract: A system for wireless distribution of aircraft data, avionics parameters or control commands between a standardized aircraft interface point and other systems, including a portable in-flight entertainment (IFE) server. The system comprises an aircraft data system with avionics buses for carrying at least one of aircraft data, avionics parameters or control commands. A first module is configured to directly interface with the avionics buses, in order to read/write data. A second module is configured to combine/adapt the data and generate signals of the combined/adapted data. A third module is configured to transmit the signals from the second module via wireless standard protocols towards the portable IFE server. The IFE server is configured to receive the signals from the third module.

  • Publication number: 20200166589
    Abstract: An integrated hybrid rotary assembly is configured to provide power, torque and bi-directional communication to a rotatable sensor, such as a lidar, radar or optical sensor. A common ferrite core is shared by a motor, rotary transformer and radio frequency communication link. This hybrid configuration reduces cost, simplifies the manufacturing process, and can improve system reliability by employing a minimum number of parts. The assembly can be integrated with the sensor unit, which may be used in vehicles and other systems.

  • Patent number: 10291663
    Abstract: A method of implementing a Communication Barring, CB, service within an IP Multimedia Subsystem, IMS, network in respect of an ongoing IMS session or an IMS session in early session phase. The method comprises, at an Application Sever, AS, within the IMS network, parsing SIP messages relating to the session to detect an attempt to add one or more media streams to the session. CB service rules are applied to determine the allowability of the media stream(s) being added. If the media stream(s) being added is (are) not allowed, action is taken to prevent its addition, and otherwise allowing the media stream addition to proceed.

  • Publication number: 20190136874
    Abstract: Electro-hydraulic work vehicle system having a hydraulic lift mechanism comprising a first electric machine, a first hydraulic machine operatively connected to the first electric machine. A load holding valve is switchable between a first position in which it retains pressurized fluid in the hydraulic lift mechanism and a second position in which it enables pressurized fluid to flow between the first hydraulic machine and the hydraulic lift mechanism. A pressure relief valve is switchable between a first, initial position in which it prevents pressurized fluid from flowing from the first hydraulic machine to the hydraulic tank and a second position in which it enables pressurized fluid to flow from the first hydraulic machine to the hydraulic tank.

  • Publication number: 20190017826
    Abstract: Some precision guidance systems and methods for detecting the position and orientation of one or more magnetic sources are disclosed. The precision guidance system can include a magneto-optical defect center sensor and a controller. The controller can be configured to detect one or more axial components of a magnetic source. Each of the one or more axial components can have a unique, predetermined magnetic signature. The controller can determine a position and orientation of the magnetic source based on the one or more axial components and output the determined position and orientation of the magnetic source to a guidance system.

  • Publication number: 20180327811
    Abstract: The invention generally relates to methods and kits for capturing sperm nucleic acids from or in a biological sample. In one embodiment the method the method comprises, contacting the sample with a lysis solution, having a protamine-DNA complex, to lyse the cell and applying a protamine-specific binding element. This results in the protamine-specific binding element binding to the protamine-DNA to form a complex which may be captured, purified, or detected. Also provided are kits for carrying out the disclosed methods.
