Patent ID: 7298057

Claim:
An airborne mobile platform seat row power distribution safety system comprising: a plurality of access points arranged in a plurality of rows throughout said mobile platform; a power distribution system that transmits power to said access points located throughout said platform; a plurality of filters that pass only electrical signals having a desired frequency, each one of said filters being associated with a specific one of said access points to block electrical signals that are not of said desired frequency from flowing to said access points; a power control module electrically coupled to a power generating source that generates a first signal of a first voltage and a second signal of a second voltage for distribution throughout said power distribution system, said first voltage being lower than said second voltage and said first signal being of a frequency different than said desired frequency so as to be blocked from flowing to said access points by said filters; and a signal generator in electrical communication with said power distribution system that is operable to receive said first voltage and generate a third signal of a third voltage, said third voltage being lower than said second voltage, said third signal being of a frequency different than said desired frequency so as to be blocked from flowing to said access points by said filters; said power control module being adapted to communicate said first signal to said signal generator through an entirety of said power distribution system with the exception that said first signal is blocked by said filters; said signal generator being adapted to generate, upon receipt of said first signal, said third signal and to communicate said third signal to said power control module via said power distribution system; said power control module being adapted to generate said second signal and communicates said second signal to said power distribution system upon receipt of said third signal, said second signal being of said desired frequency and applied to all of said access points via said power distribution system; and said power control module being adapted to prevent the generation of said second signal to said power distribution system if said third signal is not received.
