US Patent:

60892307, Jul 18, 2000

Filed:

Nov 3, 1998

Appl. No.:

9/185458

Inventors:

John T. Barker - Overland Park KS
Phillip R. Hill - Kansas City KS
Peter C. Meister - Overland Park KS

Assignee:

BE Aerospace Intellectual Property, Inc.

International Classification:

A62B 1808

US Classification:

12820429

Abstract:

An oxygen delivery unit (20) having a housing (22), a release plate (24), an oxygen generator (26), a respirator assembly (28), a release lanyard assembly (30), and an activation lanyard assembly (32) allows the use of generators (26) having longer operational times. The release plate (24) is flexible and has curled and uncurled positions, and the generator (26) is attached to the release plate (24) which is biased toward its uncurled position. The release lanyard assembly (30) engages the generator (26) to hold it in a stored position inside the housing (22). The release lanyard assembly (30) and the activation lanyard assembly (32) extend between the generator (26) and the respirator assembly (28), so that when an individual pulls the respirator assembly (28), the generator (26) is ignited and shifted to an activated position spaced apart from the housing wall (38). Bumper pads (52) engage the release plate (24) to dampen vibrations and inhibit noise when the generator (26) is in the activated position. A lanyard pad (54) is provided to contact an ignitor (90) of the generator (26) to prevent activation lanyard lines (118) from becoming looped around the ignitor (90).

Assignee:

B/E Aerospace, Inc. - Winston Salem NC

International Classification:

B61D 27/00
B61B 13/10
A62B 7/02

Abstract:

A low pressure enclosure (LPE) vehicle can include a hull defining a cabin therein. The hull can be configured to travel within a LPE and the cabin can be configured to be pressurized. The LPE vehicle can include a supplemental oxygen system configured to be activated and/or made accessible to one or more occupants within the cabin in a depressurized state such that a cabin pressure is less than a threshold cabin pressure.

Assignee:

B/E Aerospace, Inc. - Winston-Salem NC

International Classification:

H04L 12/26
H04W 4/80
B64F 5/60

Abstract:

A control system for an aircraft system can include a controller configured to connect to one or more subsystems of the aircraft system, the controller having a built-in-test (BIT) module configured to test the one or more subsystems of the aircraft system and output test data. The control system can include a wireless communication module operatively connected to the controller and configured to receive the output data and to output a wireless signal as a function of the test data.
