  • Patent number: 8977798
    Abstract: The present invention provides an electronic system mounted on an aircraft which can effectively reduce electronic devices and wires by integration of control systems. Specifically, a fuselage (80) of an aircraft (100) is divided into a nose part (80a), a center part (80b), and an aft part (80c), and two IMAs (integrated modular avionics units) (50a to 50c) are provided in each of these parts. The IMA units (50a to 50c) are interconnected via an integrated data bus (53) to construct an integrated electronic system mounted on the aircraft. The system is suitably used for integrating utility systems except for avionics systems, among a plurality of control systems mounted on the aircraft, and is also applicable to integration of the avionics systems.

  • Patent number: 8357542
    Abstract: Provided are a suspended particulate matter measurement apparatus capable of automatically measuring a nitrate ion content and a sulfate ion content in the atmosphere, and a suspended particulate matter measurement method using the same. The suspended particulate matter measurement apparatus includes a filter, suction part, extraction part, measurement part, and a recording part. The suction part suctions air in the atmosphere at a constant flow rate to cause particulate matter contained therein to be adsorbed onto the filter. The extraction part extracts components of the particulate matter adsorbed onto the filter, by dissolving the particulate matter into a solvent, and collects a resultant solution. The measurement part measures at least one of a nitrate ion content and a sulfate ion content in the solution collected by the extraction part, and outputs the measurement result. The recording part records the measurement result outputted from the measurement part.
