Self-sustaining washroom for mobile use

Abstract: A sanitary device for autonomous operation for a conveyance. The sanitary device has a sanitary module and a supply system. The sanitary module is set up replaceably in a cabin area of the conveyance. The supply system is set up in the sanitary module to supply it. The sanitary module is autonomously operable.

From dataflow specification to multiprocessor partitioned time-triggered real-time implementation

Abstract: Our objective is to facilitate the development of complex time-triggered systems by automating the allocation and scheduling steps. We show that full automation is possible while taking into account the elements of complexity needed by a complex embedded control system. More precisely, we consider deterministic functional specifications provided (as often in an industrial setting) by means of synchronous data-flow models with multiple modes and multiple relative periods. We first extend this functional model with an original real-time characterization that takes advantage of our time-triggered framework to provide a simpler representation of complex end-to-end flow requirements. We also extend our specifications with additional non-functional properties specifying partitioning, allocation, and preemptability constraints. Then, we provide novel algorithms for the off-line scheduling of these extended specifications onto partitioned time-triggered architectures a la ARINC 653. The main originality of our work is that it takes into account at the same time multiple complexity elements: various types of non-functional properties (real-time, partitioning, allocation, preemptability) and functional specifications with conditional execution and multiple modes. Allocation of time slots/windows to partitions can be fully or partially provided, or synthesized by our tool. Our algorithms allow the automatic allocation and scheduling onto multi-processor (distributed) systems with a global time base, taking into account communication costs. We demonstrate our technique on a model of space flight software system with strong real-time determinism requirements.

Abstract: Adjuster device (A11, A12, B11, B12, A21, A22, B21, B22) for coupling an adjuster flap (A1, A2; B1, B2) on an aircraft to an actuator (20), an adjuster mechanism (VK) for the kinematic coupling of the actuator (20) to the adjustment flap (A1, A2; B1, B2) and a gearbox (25), wherein the adjuster device (A11, A12, B11, B12, A21, A22, B21, B22) may be coupled to a control and monitoring device (5) for operation thereof, characterised in that the adjuster device comprises a first load sensor (S1; S11-a, S12-a, S21-a, S22-a), arranged at the input side (31) of the actuator (20) for recording the load occurring on the input side of the actuator (20) as a result of the operation of the adjustment flap (A1, A2; B1, B2), a second load sensor (S2; S11-b, S12-b, S21-b), arranged at the output side (32) of the actuator (20) for recording the load occurring on the output side (32) of the actuator (20) as a result of the operation of the adjustment flap (A1, A2; B1, B2), wherein the first load sensor (S1; S11-a, S12-a, S21-a, S22-a) and the second load sensor (S1; S11-b, S12-b, S21 -b, S22-b) are functionally connected to an adjuster device fault recognition function for receiving the sensor values delivered by the load sensors, in order to attribute a fault condition to the adjuster device and a combination of an adjuster device and an adjuster device fault recognition function, a fault-tolerant adjuster system and a method fro reconfiguring an adjuster system.

Device and method for processing a fibre compound structure

Abstract: The present invention provides a connecting device for connecting an unhardened fiber layer which is arranged on a surface section of a fiber compound structure to the fiber compound structure. The connecting device comprises pressure cushion comprising a pressure cap for being arranged above the surface section and a pressure tight cap mat which is pressure tightly connected to a circumferential border of the pressure cap, thereby forming a pressure area which is limited by the pressure cap and by the cap mat. The connecting device further comprises a pressure inducing means for inducing an overpressure which presses the cap mat against the fiber layer into the pressure area. According to a further aspect the invention provides a processing method for processing a fiber compound structure. In a first step at least one unhardened fiber layer is arranged on a surface section of the fiber compound structure.

Medical unit in an aircraft

Abstract: An aircraft cabin includes an area to permit administration of first aid medical care to a passenger. The area includes at least a regulatory space located in front of an access door to the cabin. The rest of this area is occupied by a medical module fully dedicated to the first aid medical care.
