Abstract:
The present invention uses selected network management data transmitted within VDL/4 RF subnetworks, or information derived from network management data transmitted within VDL/4 subnetworks, to efficiently manage a separate RF subnetwork or set of subnetworks. The present invention uses a VDL Mode 4 RF network as a primary transmission path for data transmitted from aircraft to ground stations, and one or more separate RF network(s) as a primary transmission path for data transmitted from ground stations to aircraft. The unique characteristics of each network provide for cost-effective two-way aeronautical networking.
Abstract:
A networking architecture for air/ground data communications implements a single network-layer protocol between a customer aircraft network interface and a customer ground system network interface, routes data between customer aircraft and associated customer ground systems, and eliminates the need for network-layer protocol conversion by service provider ground systems. To provide a transition to the new networking architecture, a transition method and a hybrid radio are provided.
Abstract:
Antenna diversity and antenna reuse are provided by a system comprising two or more multi-channel radios, which may optionally contain embedded GNSS user receiving equipment, with a cooperative sharing strategy among the multi-channel radios, to aeronautical packet data communications and other communications. It offers the following benefit: enhanced data communications performance in a fading environment; enhanced data communications performance at a long range; enhanced data communications performance in the presence of cochannel interference; extendable to an arbitrary number of cooperating peer radios; no single point of failure; no increase in pilot workload or change in operational procedures. If the two or more multi-channel radios contain embedded GNSS user receiving equipment, the shared data can be used to enhance the performance of the embedded GNSS user receiving equipment.
Abstract:
Multifunctional alcohols, polyols derived from cardanol containing at least 3 hydroxyl groups are disclosed. Such alcohols allow for synthesis of multifunctional crosslinkers such as acrylates, epoxies, and vinyl ethers and flame retardants such as >phosphates. The multifunctional alcohols or polyols can be used in polyurethanes and polycarbonates. The multifunctional crosslinkers can be used in optical coating and waveguide compositions to increase curing speed and crosslink density. The multifunctional phosphates can be used in flame resistant plastics as the highly pendant phosphorus containing phosphate non-halogen flame retardant additives.
Abstract:
Melt processable liquid crystalline terpolyesters of the formula I below: where R is Cl, C6H5, CH3CO, CH3, and process for the preparation thereof are disclosed. The process comprises acetylating 8(3-hydroxyphenyl)octanoic acid and hydroquinone using an acetylating agent followed by acidolysis polycondensation for the removal of acetic acid to effect higher molecular weight formation, post-polymerisation being effected at higher temperatures but below the decomposition temperature.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for the preparation of melt processable liquid crystalline terpolyesters of the general formula I by the in situ acetylation of a monomer selected from (4-hydroxyphenyl) acetic acid/ 3(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid and hydroquinone/4,4′-biphenol/2,6-naphthylene diol followed by acidolysis polycondensation with or without a solvent and a catalyst, under reduced pressure for the efficient removal of acetic acid to effect higher molecular weight formation. Post polymerisation is effected at higher temperatures below the decomposition temperature purification by soxhlet extraction using solvent mixtures selected from acetone-alcohol, acetone-methylethyl ketone.
