Filed: 2017-12-12
Abstract: A seat mounting assembly 1 has a seat mount, and a first sub-assembly 20 suitable for mounting to seat mounting rails 4-1,4-2. The sub-assembly has a transverse member (fig.4,40) connected to a first frame 21 by a swivel joint. The seat mount may be on a second sub-assembly 50 with longitudinal members 53-1,53-2 which cooperate with guide members 26-1,26-2,27-1,27-2 on arms 22-1,22-2 of the first sub-assembly. Preferably, a resilient part damps movement of the first sub-assembly and/or biases the first frame towards a neutral position. The first frame may have an aperture 31 for receiving a lug (fig.4,43) of the transverse member to form the joint using a pivot pin (fig.4,34). Rail mounting brackets 12-1,12-2,13-1,13-2 may be used, with longitudinal mounting pin holes aligned parallel to the axis of the swivel joint. Alternatively, the sub-assembly (fig.6,180) has two sub-frames (fig.6,181,182) connected by a swivel joint (fig.6,188). Each sub-frame has a guide member (fig.6,186,187), for co-operating with one of two lateral members (fig.6,184,185). The sub-assembly may move along the lateral members. The mounting assembly may be used in aircraft, the swivel joint may allow the assembly to remain structurally intact should the mounting rails become deformed.

Title: Graphics rendering
Inventor: STEVEN PETER ROBINSON
IPC: G06F40/14
Filed: 2018-06-15
Abstract: A rendering process (500) rendering objects to a computing device display comprises traversing a render tree indicative of a hierarchy of the objects, allocating a buffer in a graphics memory of the device and generating an image scratchpad (550) (aka canvas, spritemap). The scratchpad is generated by determining size and layout parameters for each object, and a render status of the object. The scratchpad is appended by writing the object image data to an unoccupied buffer area upon the render status indicating (504) that the object image data is in a directly writable form (to the memory). Respective image or text objects are rendered (506) by retrieving image data from the scratchpad, and drawing the retrieved image data based on respective object layout parameters. The image data may be converted to a suitable form upon the render status indicating that it is not in a directly-writable form. The appending may comprise determining whether there is an unoccupied area of the buffer large enough for the image data based on the object layout parameters. Processing speed is improved since all rendering can be placed into a large array which can be subject to a single, rather than multiple, render call.

Title: Apparatus and method for detecting water or ice
Inventor: IAN STOTHERS
IPC: B64D15/20
Filed: 2019-11-29
Abstract: A number of heaters 202-214 in thermal contact with a structure are arranged adjacent one another from a leading edge 302 extending aft. Sufficient power is supplied to each heater to heat the structure surface at respective heater regions to the same temperature. The respective power consumptions of a first and a second heater, which are not the fore-most or aft-most heaters, are sensed and compared. Water or ice on the surface is detected when power consumption of the first and second heaters is different, preferably a warning signal is then displayed. Ice detection may occur when the air temperature is at or below 10°C. Surface temperature may be calculated from heater temperature, power supplied to the heater, and at least one thermal resistance between the heater and the structure surface. The power of a given heater may be controlled using a respective measured heater temperature, the surface temperature may be sufficient to cause evaporation and/or removal of water or ice in contact with the surface, such as 50°C above the environmental temperature. An angle of attack (AoA) of the structure may be sensed. The heaters and temperature sensors 314, (fig.6,614) may be in respective layers 310 within the structure.

Filed: 2020-03-11
Abstract: A power management system 584 managing a plurality of electrical power sources 586, for example a battery 588 or a generator 594 installed in an aircraft. The power management system comprises a receiver 590 receiving flight information relating to a second flight subsequent to a first flight. The system further comprises a processor 592 which receives the second flight information. The processor processes the second flight information to determine second flight usage requirements for one or more of the electrical power sources. The system further selectively manages the power supplied by each electrical power source in the first flight to facilitate use of the one or more of the electrical power sources in the second flight according to the second flight usage requirements. Advantageously, this ensures that battery reserves are suitable for use during the second flight, which may be during the take-off phase, thus enabling battery powered take-off.
