The present invention provides a cabin management system for an aircraft or spacecraft, comprising: at least one first terminal, which acts as an interface for one or more passengers; at least one second terminal, which performs safety-related functions; and at least one means set up to provide and/or receive video data to/from the first terminal and safety-related data to/from the second terminal.

Cabin management system, aircraft or spacecraft having a cabin management system, and method

A method of providing an audio signal containing flight-related information to passengers on board the aircraft, a computer program product for carrying out such a method, an apparatus for providing an audio signal containing flight-related information to passengers on board an aircraft, and an aircraft comprising such an apparatus. A method embodiment comprises receiving a trigger to provide the audio signal, obtaining one or more predefined data fragments, obtaining flight-related information corresponding to a current flight of the aircraft, generating the audio signal based on the one or more predefined data fragments and the flight-related information, and providing the audio signal to one or more of the passengers on board the aircraft.

Dynamically adapting pre-recorded announcements

An apparatus and a method for transferring data and energy over network units of a defined network. The apparatus has at least two units, a bus coupling the units with a receive line and a transmit line and a bus control device coupled with the bus, the bus control device having first means for controlling the transfer of data defined by the defined network as data voltage signals over the transmit line and over the receive line, second means for charging the data voltage signals on the transmit line with first supply voltage signals adapted for voltage supply of units of a first plane system, and third means for charging the data voltage signals on the receive line with second supply voltage signals adapted for voltage supply of units of a second plane system.

Apparatus and method for transferring data and energy via devices of a network

The present invention provides for devices and methods for the transmission of data over nodes of a specific network. A device may comprise at least two network nodes, a bus having a transmitting line and a receiving line for interconnecting the network nodes. The respective network node has a fault protection circuit which is to bypass the network node in the event of a fault and is capable of reversing the polarity of the transmitting line and of the receiving line, a detection means for detecting a reverse in polarity of the transmitting line and of the receiving line by the respective upstream network node, and a fault-locating means for locating a fault in the upstream network node when a reverse in polarity of the transmitting line and of the receiving line has been detected.

Device and method for transferring data via nodes of a network

A method for monitoring the operating health of a lighting system having a plurality of operating components, in one example includes acquiring test data from a plurality of operating components at a plurality of different operating states of the lighting system, and a data set is acquired for each operating state of the lighting system, and a plurality of data sets are acquired. A model of the lighting system may be constructed using the plurality of data sets.
