Communication device for facilitating communication using light radiation

An apparatus for facilitating light based communications includes a transceiver, a processing device, and a user interface device. The transceiver includes light emitters and a light receiver. The light emitters emit light. The light receiver is configured for detecting an incoming light signal. The processing device is operatively coupled with the transceiver. The processing device is configured for generating an incoming coded message based on the detecting, decoding the incoming coded message into an incoming message, provisioning the incoming message based on the decoding, obtaining an outgoing message, encoding the outgoing message based on the obtaining of the outgoing message, generating an encoded outgoing message based on the encoding, and generating a command for the transceiver based on the encoding of the encoded outgoing message. Further, at least one of the light emitters is configured for emitting an outgoing light signal based on the command.

Methods, systems, apparatuses, and devices for facilitating light based communications

Disclosed is a communication device for facilitating communication using light radiation. Further, the communication device may include an input port configured to receive input data and a processing device communicatively coupled to the input port. Further, the communication device may include a memory device communicatively coupled to the processing device. Further, the memory device may be configured to store the input data. Further, the communication device may include at least three light emitters configured to emit light radiation characterized by at least three frequencies. Further, the at least three light emitters may be communicatively coupled to the processing device. Further, an operational state of the at least three light emitters may be controllable by the processing device based on the input data. Further, the communication device may include a power source configured to provide electrical energy to the at least three light emitters, the processing device, and the memory device.

Apparatuses, systems and methods are provided for automatically pushing aircraft back from an airport gate and/or for automatically taxiing an aircraft. At least one engines-off drive is attached to at least one landing gear wheel to apply a rotational force and/or a rotation impeding force to the at least one landing gear wheel. At least one friction brake is attached to at least one landing gear wheel to apply a rotation impeding force to the at least one landing gear wheel.
