You further explain that the battery powers the\nmain functions of your suitcase, which include: a Bluetooth enabled lock; a built-in digital\nscale; a GPS location tracker; and USB ports to allow users to charge their portable electronic\ndevices. Specifically, you seek confirmation of your understanding that this suitcase is\nauthorized to be carried by passengers or crew if conforming to the portable electronic device\nprovisions for passengers and crew aboard aircraft in § 17 5 .10( a)( 18) and electronic\ntransmission requirements in 14 CFR part 91, § 91.21 .\nYour understanding of the requirement in§ 175.10(a)(18) is correct. According to the\ninformation in your email and the supplemental attachments provided, the suitcase meets the\ncriteria for a portable electronic device prescribed in§ 175.1O(a)(l8). When carried by\npassengers or crew members for personal use, such suitcases that conform to the applicable\nprovisions for portable electronic devices may be carried in either checked or carry-on\nbaggage.\nYou should be aware that an FAA Information for Operators (InFO) 17008: The\nTransportation Portable Electronic Devices (PED) in Checked Baggage has been published on\nthis issue and can be found on FAA's website at www.faa.gov. The InFO advises that devices\ncontaining lithium batteries should be transported in carry-on baggage and not placed in\nchecked baggage. When that is not possible, the devices should be completely powered down\nto the OFF position, protected from accidental activation, and packed so they are protected\nfrom damage.\n\n<<>>\n\nIt is also important to note that the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) during\nthe twenty-sixth meeting of the Dangerous Goods Panel in Montreal, Canada on October 16\nthru 27, 2017 adopted a new requirement that will require luggage equipped with a lithium\nbattery to be carried as carry-on baggage, unless the battery is removed from the luggage.\nThis new requirement will become effective in the January 2019 Edition of the ICAO\nTechnical Instructions. This implementation will be applicable for all international\ntransportation and on any air carriers that implement the ICAO or IA TA requirements as\npolicy. You should always verify the air carrier policies prior to transportation.\nIn addition to the HMR requirements, all applicable FAA requirements must be complied\nwith, including those in 14 CFR, § 91.21 that address operation of portable electronic\ndevices aboard aircraft. Information and guidance to assist with compliance of this\nrequirement can be found in Advisory Circular (AC) 91.21 -lC, titled \"Use of Portable\nElectronic Devices Aboard Aircraft.\" For additional information regarding the FAA\nrequirements or if you seek an interpretation on whether your particular device meets\nelectronic transmission requirements contained in 14 CFR § 91 .21 you may contact the FAA\nat the following address:\nFederal Aviation Administration\nOffice of the Chief Counsel\nRegulations Division\n800 Independence Avenue SW\nWashington, DC 20591\nIn addition to the transportation safety requirements pertaining to this device, there may be\nadditional security requirements issued by the Transportation Security Administration.\nI hope this information is helpful. Please contact us if we can be of further assistance.\nSincerely,\n-\n~.- /' I\nI I ,\n1'-1· / '--!--'---· ---·· . I\n./ ,:;\"' I.\nDuane A.

Please\nlet me know if you have any questions.\nI look forward to hearing back. If you could provide a sense for when we can expect to hear back, that would be greatly\nappreciated.\nBest,\nBrian\nBrian Chen\nCo-Founder & VP Operations\n1\n\n<<>>\n\no 0o bluesmart\n0\nJuly 14, 2016\nU.S. Department of Transportation\nPHMSA Office of Hazardous Materials Standards\nAttn: PHH-10\nEast Building\n1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE\nWashington, DC 20590-0001\nRe: Request for Letter of Interpretation\nTo Whom It May Concern:\nOur company, Bluesmart Inc., sells and manufactures a carry-on suitcase that utilizes a\nlithium ion battery. The primary use of the battery in the suitcase is to power the main\nfunctions of our suitcase, which include a Bluetooth-enabled lock, a built-in digital scale,\nand 3G + GPS location tracking. As a secondary function of the battery, USB ports are\nprovided to allow users to charge their portable electronic devices. We would like to\nrequest a letter of interpretation in regard to the inclusion of the Lithium-Ion battery.\nIt is our understanding that our product complies with 49 CFR §175.10.18 due to the\nfact that: 1) our battery is \"installed\"; 2) is \"of a type proven to meet the requirements of\neach test in the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part Ill, Sub-section 38.3\"; and 3) has\na Watt-hour rating of 39.52 Wh. For reference, please find enclosed the UN38.3 test\nresults and the Material Safety Data Sheet we use when shipping our product.\nTo provide additional context around the design of our product, the battery in our carry-\non suitcase is not removable, and the housing has been designed for maximum safety.\nIn addition to the images included in the UN38.3 test results, see Exhibit A, which\nshows the location of the battery housing within the suitcase shell. See Exhibit B for a\nmore detailed layout of how the battery housing design. See Exhibit C for additional\ninformation on the flame retardant materials used in the housing.\nFinally, it is our understanding that our product complies with FAA Advisory Circular\n(AC) 91.21-1C dated 5/7/2015 (specifically Section 8) due to having three different\nmeans of turning off electronic transmissions. First, users can turn the suitcase off\nmanually via the on/off switch. Second, users can turn the suitcase off via the mobile\napplication that connects to the suitcase. Finally, we have developed algorithms and\nBluesmart Inc.\n729 Minna St\nSan Francisco, CA 94103\nbluesmart.com\n\n<<>>\n\no0o bluesmart\n0\nconducted tests to ensure the automatic shutdown of electronic transmissions upon\nflight takeoff. See Exhibit D for a brief memo that explains our methodology and results.\nWe request a letter of interpretation so that we may confirm the compliance of our\nproduct with current regulations. Should you require further information to make your\ninterpretation, please do not hesitate to contact us.\nThank you in advance for your response.\nBest Regards,\nBrian Chen\nVP of Operations\nBluesmart Inc.\n729 Minna St\nSan Francisco, CA 94103\nbluesmart.com\n\n<<>>\n\n\"'''''',.\nMA\n]lac-MRÁ\nCNAS\nt#S Rep No. SET2015-12702\n2012002402H\nCNAS L1659\nTEST REPORT\nClient Name\nZhongshan Tianmao Battery Co.,LTD.\nName of product\nLi-ion Battery\nManufacturer\nZhongshan Tianmao Battery Co.,LTD.\nTMB/BP702\nTrade mark & model\nTest sort\nSafety Entrust Test\n/\nAddress: Building 28, 29, Shigu east, Xili Factory Distric, Xiliac, Nanshan District, ShenZhen, Guangdong, China\nwhat/Internet: http://www.ccic-set.com\nLIF/TEL: 86-755-26628136\n#71#/E-Mail: sophie.wang@ccic-set.com\n14M1/FAX: 86-755-26701436\nCCIC-SET/TRF (00)\npage\nof\n16 H\n\n<<>>\n\ntR# mE Rep No. SET2015-12702\nCCIC Southern Electronic Product Testing (Shenzhen) CO., Ltd.\nTEST REPORT\nName of sample\nLi-ion Battery\n\"Trade mark\nTMB\nManufacturer\nZhongshan Tianmao Battery Co.,LTD.\nModel/Type\nBP702\nClient\nZhongshan Tianmao Battery Co.,LTD.\nSampling method\nSent by client\nApplication data\n2015/07/31\nCompleting Date\n2015/08/27\n811Ш, 2511tỲt\nQuantity of sumples\n8 Batteries, 25 Cells\nEnvironment\ncondition\n15~35°C 45~75%RH\nNominal voltage\n3.8V\nLimited Charge\nVoltage\n4.3V\n39.52Wh/10\nRate Energy/Capacity\n400mAh\nStandard charge\ncurrent\n1040mA\nMax.

A real flight case study is\npresented.\nI. INTRODUCTION\nThe carry-on developed by Bluesmart (C0-01), is different from other wireless communication devices\ni.e. cellular phones, in the main fact that the cellular network is used at intervals, rather than, being\nconstantly connected and sending-receiving information. To assure that the C0-01 is safe and does not\ninterfere with any airplane communication and/or navigation instruments we develop a set of algorithms\nand rules that prevent the C0-01 to broadcast data or connect to the network while the aircraft is in flight.\nFor the purpose of this document we will use the following definition of in-flight: \"Any time from the\nmoment all the external doors of an aircraft are closed following embarkation until the moment when any\nsuch door is opened for disembarkation[ ... ]\". 1 Next we will present the sensors used and its characteristics.\nThen we described the process \"Crosscheck\" used to inhibit wireless communication while flying. Finally\nan example of a real flight is shown with the automatic detections performed with the computer onboard\nthe luggage.\nII. SENSORS\nA set of sensors are used to identify the different parts of the flight. A 3-axis accelerometer, a barometer,\na thermometer and a clock are embedded in the C0-01. Next we present the Barometer.\nA. Barometer\nThe barometer, an IC used to measure pressure, with this data altitude can be computed. The barometer\nis heavily affected by noise, bias and drift. Sample data for a static case is shown in fig. 2. To reduce\nthe effect of the noise an Infinite Impulse Response filter is used to obtain a better measurement. A\ncomparison between this two values are shown in fig. 2. The barometer will be used in two scenarios.\nThe first scenario is to assure that whenever the aircraft closes the doors the cellular functions (if being\nused) are immediately terminated, and disabled. In the second scenario, will determine if the movement\nin the aircraft is ascending or descending.\nB. Accelerometer\nThe second sensor available is a three axis accelerometer. With this sensor the acceleration in three\naxis of the C0-0 I can be meassured. This sensor as well is very noise and a filter is used to obtain a\npristine value. A sample filtered data is shown in fig. 3. We calibrate the accelerometer before we use it.\nIn the next section we present and discuss the \"crosscheck\".\n\n<<>>\n\n27590\n1 11\n27585 II\n27580\nG 27575 l\n0\n>>\n\n30\n,..

With this curves and comparing to the patterns of the aircraft\nwe identify if the aircraft is on the air or not. The aircraft is identified as being in flights after the\naccelerometer detect the increase in the acceleration during take off followed by the pressure drop due to\nthe climbing. Once the acceleration is detected the communications are inhibited to prevent the wireless\ncommunications to go off during takeoff. The The main drawback of this method is that will fail to\nprevent wireless emissions from the moment the door close to the moment where the take off run stars.\nTo prevent wireless communication in this periods of time we use a background check.\nThe Background check is used to sample the barometer and intervals to verify that the door has not\nbeen close. To identify the door close an abrupt change in the pressure output will occur. When this\njump occurs the communications are inhibited as to prevent wireless communications. Once the flag of\ndoor-close is set the communications are inhibited and the crosscheck process continues as stated above.\nA plot showing an example of real door close is shown in fig. 4.\nThe algorithms discussed above are implemented in the embedded computer inside the C0-01. These\nalgorithms are constantly running in the background to assure that the crosscheck can function regardless\nof the user intervention and travel schedule. The algorithms are implemented to run on real time, hence the\ndata is being discarded as soon as is processed to protect the users privacy. For the purpose of debug some\nC0-01 where modified as to record the entire data and different flight moments identifications. A sample\ntrial from a real flight is shown in fig. 5. The plot is for a 10:00 Hr flight. There are two zones clearly\nmarked. In blue, are the areas that represent the aircraft on the ground with the door open. In red, from\ndoor close till door open. These sections where identified with the crosscheck algorithm automatically.\nIV. CONCLUSIONS\nFirst we presented the sensors incorporated in the Carry-on developed by Bluesmart. Then, the different\nalgorithms used to assure that no wireless communications are performed during flight were introduced.\nFinally, sample data from a real flight where shown. From the data shown is clear that the algorithm\npresented in this brief document clearly can capture the flight of the aircraft. With this algorithms the\nwireless communications are effectively inhibited during the flight of the aircraft. This assure that the\nCarry-on is safe to be carry on any aircraft.\n\n<<>>\n\n27565\n27560\nu\n0\n>>","truncated":false,"body_characters":35493}
