The present application provides a thermal design of device enclosures for aviation cyber security hardware products. A secure avionics wireless access point device with heat sink enclosure is provided that provides security processing and interconnectivity while being small in size, not requiring supplemental cooling and may operate outside of the aviation pressure cabin. The device may be installed in-line with networking devices and avionics to monitor and protect an aircraft's onboard network.

A bandpass filter allows a light ray of a predetermined band including a wavelength band of a color of a laser beam, which is a target of detection, among light rays from a subject to pass therethrough. An imaging unit of a video camera captures the light ray passing through the bandpass filter. The controller analyzes a frequency for each brightness level of a video signal generated based on an imaging signal output from the imaging unit and detects a peak at which the frequency protrudes at a specific brightness level. The controller detects a trajectory of a straight light ray in a frame of the video signal. The controller detects that the laser beam is irradiated when the peak exists at a specific brightness level and the trajectory of the light ray exists in the frame.

The apparatus may also include a battery pack configured to power the electric aircraft and a battery sensor, wherein a battery senor is configured to generate battery datum. A computing device may be included within the apparatus. The computing device may be configured to be receive the battery datum, encrypt the battery datum using an encryption process, identify the network node and transmit the encrypted battery datum to the network node using the communication component.

A dynamically adjustable surveillance system including: a surveillance camera having a field of vision encompassing an object to be monitored and generating an image stream of the field of vision, a surveillance camera controller configured to control operation parameters of the surveillance camera, the operation parameters indicating operation conditions of the camera, a surveillance controller coupled to the surveillance camera controller, and a sensing device coupled to the surveillance controller and configured to output an object state signal to the surveillance controller indicating a sensed state of the object to be monitored. The surveillance controller is configured to output a control signal to the surveillance camera controller to change some of the operation parameters of the surveillance camera if the object state signal received from the sensing device indicates a sensed state of the object to have changed.

An aircraft includes comprises toilet that includes a protection device configured to contain effects of a malicious device, in order to protect both a fuselage of the aircraft and passengers of the aircraft against the effects of the malicious device.

A system is described that includes a controllable component of an engine configured to regulate fuel flow to the engine, a digital control unit configured to control the engine by at least communicating with the controllable component of the engine, and a protection component configured to disable communication between the digital control unit and the controllable component of the engine. The system further includes an analog control unit configured to control the engine by at least communicating with the controllable component of the engine in response to the protection component disabling communication between the digital control unit and the controllable component of the engine.

A situation recognition device (10) including a surveillance processor (1) and an AI system (3). The surveillance processor receives visual and/or acoustic surveillance signals (E) from an aircraft passenger compartment (20) via an input interface (7). The AI system (3) includes an AI processor (4), a rule set generator (5) based on self-learning algorithms, and a reference rule set memory (6). The AI system is in bidirectional data communication with the surveillance processor (1). The AI processor (4) checks, upon a request (Q) from the surveillance processor (1), data patterns in the received visual and/or acoustic surveillance signals (E) for deviations from data patterns in a reference rule set (R) stored in the reference rule set memory (6). The surveillance processor (1) outputs indicator signals (A) via the output interface (8) if deviations determined by the AI processor (4) exceed one or more predefinable deviation threshold values.

An unmanned vehicle is disclosed. The unmanned vehicle includes an aerial platform, a piloting system supported by the aerial platform, a medium source supported by the aerial platform, and a control system having a processor running computer executable code that actuates the medium source to emit a medium away from the aerial vehicle with an intensity sufficient to disorient a subject when the medium interacts with an exteroceptive sense of a subject.
