362249, 36224904, 362225, 362218, 362219, 362235

Abstract:

A solid-state light emitting device strip lighting system. The system includes an elongated fixture, a reflector, and a strip including a plurality of solid-state light emitting devices electrically connected in series disposed along the fixture. A heat sink and/or the reflector is formed as an integral part of the elongated fixture. In one aspect of the invention, a beam angle of the plurality of light emitting devices perpendicular to the long axis of the elongated fixture is adjustable by varying the height of the strip containing the devices. In an additional aspect of the invention, at least one end cap is connected to the strip containing the devices in such a way that an external power converter and/or controller may be connected to the end cap to power and/or control the devices. These strip lights are daisy chainable in series, eliminating the need for multiple drops of AC supply wiring.

303 20, 188158

Abstract:

A brake system of a vehicle includes a plurality of electromechanical brake actuators (EBAs) proximate the wheels of the vehicle. Each EBA includes a power device for effectuating braking of an associated wheel, and electronics to generate a drive signal for the power device. The brake system may further include at least one brake control unit (BCU) for converting a brake command signal into a control signal for each EBA. The electronics for each EBA may be configured to convert the corresponding control signal into the drive signal that is applied to the power device to cause movement of the power device and effectuate braking of the vehicle.

International Classification:

G06F 3/00

US Classification:

710009000

Abstract:

Systems and methods for assigning addresses to one or more components, such as luminaires, in a network. In one example the luminaires include one or more lamp sub-modules. An example method sends an address command from a master control unit to all luminaires over a communication broadcast databus, and switches the one or more luminaires to an addressing mode of operation based on the sent address command. A token signal is sent on a second serial databus to the one or more luminaires and address information is sent on the communication databus. The address information is recorded at the one or more luminaires based on the received token signal. Addresses are automatically assigned to the associated lamp sub-modules based on physical location and the recorded address information and assigned lamp sub-module addresses are sent to the master control unit. The sent address information and lamp sub-module addresses are saved.

Abstract:

A method of manufacturing a sealed circuit card assembly includes disposing a circuit card assembly within a volume defined by a housing and at least partially filling the volume with a curable liquid such that the curable liquid encapsulates at least a circuit card. The method may also include curing the curable liquid to form a potted circuit card assembly and, after at least partially filling the volume with the curable liquid and after curing the curable liquid, vacuum impregnating the potted circuit card assembly with a sealant to seal any exposed interfaces or cracks to form the sealed circuit card assembly. Accordingly, the sealed circuit card assembly may include a first cured material encapsulating the circuit card of the circuit card assembly and a second cured material disposed within, for example, a porosity of the first cured material.

International Classification:

B60C 23/04

Abstract:

A tire pressure sensor is provided. The tire pressure sensor comprises a sensor housing having a first engagement portion defining an opening. A pressure sensing element is within the sensor housing and is in fluid communication with the opening of the sensor housing. The tire pressure sensor is configured to engage and be in fluid communication with an over-inflation pressure relief valve. The over-inflation relief valve is engagable in a wheel of an aircraft wheel assembly. The tire pressure sensor is also disengagable from the over-inflation pressure relief valve. A tire pressure sensor assembly and an aircraft wheel system are also provided.

Abstract:

A system includes a wheel, a hubcap coupled to the wheel and a tire pressure sensor coupled to the wheel. The system also includes a brake control unit (BCU) and an active hubcap circuit coupled to the hubcap. The active hubcap circuit is electrically coupled to the tire pressure sensor and the BCU and configured to receive an input signal from at least one of the tire pressure sensor or the BCU, generate an output signal by increasing a signal to noise ratio of the input signal and output the output signal to at least one of the BCU or the tire pressure sensor.
