Latest Patents
One of Prabhat Verma's latest patents is a detection system, apparatus, user interface for aircraft galley assets, and method thereof. This detection system tracks assets in a galley of an aircraft. A tracked tape node attached to an asset transmits, at a first interval, a beacon including a unique identifier (ID) of the tracked tape node. One of a plurality of tracking tape nodes, each positioned in a different one of a plurality of asset slots of the aircraft galley, activates a receiver for a first period to receive the beacons and stores the unique ID and a receive signal strength indication (RSSI) of the received beacon in a list ordered on the RSSI. The tracking tape node transmits, at a second interval, a tracking beacon including a tracking ID of the tracking tape node and the list. A mobile device receives the tracking beacons and generates a data structure of assets in the galley. The mobile device compares the data structure to a manifest and graphically indicates discrepancies.
Another notable patent is for a wireless tracking device for air cargo containers and assets loaded onto aircraft. An anchor-slot tape node may include a circuit board configured with a processor, memory, sensors, and a low-power wireless communication interface. The anchor-slot tape node may include a stiffener positioned over the circuit board and a battery positioned beneath the circuit board. The anchor-slot tape node may include an outer casing enclosing the battery, the circuit board, and the stiffener, wherein the anchor-slot tape node is shaped and sized to fit within an anchor-slot of a ULD pallet and to be retained within the anchor-slot by friction between the outer casing and internal structure of the anchor-slot.
