SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REGULATING THE TEMPERATURE OF THE CABIN OF AN AIRCRAFT WHEN ON THE GROUND
The system includes a computer server receiving data representative of the temperature of the cabin and including a database containing, for the aircraft, a predetermined cycle of regulation of the temperature of the air of the cabin; a ground pre-conditioned air unit including: a pre-conditioned air generator and a control module; and a user interface connected to the computer server and transmitting a control signal to the control module; and the control module, upon receiving the control signal, controlling the pre-conditioned air generator, according to the predetermined cycle, which is modulated depending on the data. This system makes it possible to control the temperature of the cabin in real time, so as to correctly disinfect it.
Aircraft Interior UAS Inspection and Sanitation
A system and method for autonomous inspection and sanitation of an aircraft interior cabin employs a plurality of unmanned aircraft system (UAS) for autonomous operation to inspect, sense, identify, and cure an abnormal found onboard an aircraft cabin prior to passenger boarding. UAS mounted on a nearby jetway as well as in various locations throughout the aircraft cabin are equipped with a plurality of sensors to autonomously sense and cure, or sense and communicate to maintenance the identification and location of the abnormal. A single multi-role UAS inspects and sanitizes using onboard systems while multiple types of UAS including inspection UAS and sanitation UAS singularly function to sense an abnormal and sanitize if able or communicate to higher authority if unable to cure the abnormal.

Autonomous drone diagnosis
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods for autonomously performing and/or facilitating drone diagnostic functions. Prior to a mission of a UAV, an inspection station comprising at least one imaging sensor and at least one directional force sensor may be used to perform a plurality of air worthiness inspections and/or maintenance checks with little to no human intervention. Once the UAV has been determined to be air worthy, it is approved for a subsequent mission.

ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT SANITIZING CART HAVING A WAND ASSEMBLY
An ultraviolet (UV) light sanitizing cart including one or more first UV lamps configured to emit UV light, and one or more wand assemblies comprising one or more second UV lamps configured to emit UV light. The one or more wand assemblies are moveable between a stowed position and a deployed position.
PORTABLE SANITIZING SYSTEM HAVING A BACKPACK ASSEMBLY COUPLED TO A WAND ASSEMBLY
A portable sanitizing system includes a wand assembly including an ultraviolet (UV) lamp, and a backpack assembly coupled to the wand assembly. A portable sanitizing method includes coupling a backpack assembly to a wand assembly including an ultraviolet (UV) lamp.
SYSTEMS, APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR PURIFYING AIR
Systems, apparatus and methods for disinfection of airflow. An apparatus for disinfecting air-conditioned airflow in a confined space includes: a modular housing; and a disinfection chamber enclosed within the housing. The disinfection chamber includes a plurality of disinfection sheets. Each disinfection sheet comprises a plurality of ultraviolet (UV) light sources. The airflow is configured to be routed along a serpentine pathway within the housing to expose microorganisms in the airflow to far UV-C light emitted by the UV light sources for an extended and optimal duration.
