An in-flight safety enhancing system including: a combined automatic dependent surveillance broadcast (ADS-B) and carbon monoxide (CO) detecting device configured to receive an ADS-B transmission and obtain a CO reading; and a flight application executing on an aircraft crew computing device separate from the combined ADS-B and CO detecting device, and configured to: receive the ADS-B transmission and the CO reading; augment the flight application with information extracted from the ADS-B transmission; and provide a CO status notification when the CO reading exceeds a CO threshold value.

Combined automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast and carbon monoxide detecting device

A combined automatic dependent surveillance broadcast (ADS-B) and carbon monoxide (CO) detecting device includes an ADS-B circuitry configured to receive an ADS-B transmission, a CO sensor configured to obtain a CO reading for ambient air in an aircraft cabin, a processor configured to generate a data stream combining the ADS-B transmission and the CO reading, and a wireless communication circuitry configured to provide the data stream to at least one aircraft crew computing device.

Example implementations may relate to an obstacle detection system. In particular, an example device may include a light emitter, a line-image sensor, and a controller that are mounted on a rotatable component. In an example embodiment, the line-image sensor may receive light signals emitted from the light emitter. The controller may be communicatively coupled to the light emitter and line-image sensor and configured to determine a multipath signal based on the time of flight of the light signal and the position along the line-image sensor at which the line-image sensor received the given reflected light signal.
