  • Publication number: 20240094726
    Abstract: A system having components coupled to an aircraft that measure the navigational state and state uncertainty of an aircraft. To do so, the aircraft captures an image of its surrounding environment including an object of interest and applies one or more machine vision models to the image. One or more of the models determine if the image is acceptable, in that it determines if an object of interest is represented in the image. One or more of the models determine a calibrated uncertainty based on information extracted previously labelled images and current measurements of navigational state and uncertainty. One or more of the models determine a protection level for the aircraft and determines an operational system of the aircraft is available to perform a navigational action based on the protection level (e.g., by comparing protection level to an alert level).

  • Publication number: 20120190291
    Abstract: A system is disclosed for enabling the total operation of an installation for the diffusion of air in a plurality of enclosures to be reduced. The present system includes apparatus for measuring a signal related to the state of operation of a thermal treatment apparatus for the air associated with each enclosure and/or related to the temperature desired independently in each enclosure, a module for calculation, on the basis of the measured signals, a setpoint blowing temperature that makes it possible to reduce the total operation of the whole of the thermal treatment means. A setpoint blowing throughput is also determined in order to optimize the total operation of the air diffusion installation.
