  • TIRE MONITORING SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20090192667
    Abstract: A plurality of pressure sensors are provided in a tire of an aircraft landing gear, such sensors being carried by the same stem assembly that has the inflation-deflation valve for the tire. A communication microcircuit is provided in the stem. The communication microcircuit is connected to one coil of a stem transformer, with the other coil of the stem transformer being electrically connected to one coil of an axle transformer. The other coil of the axle transformer is coupled to an axle communication circuit which powers the axle and stem circuits and polls the sensors to determine tire pressure.

  • Position indicating system
    Patent number: 6690159
    Abstract: A target device is carried by or mounted on a first part movable relative to a second part. The second part has a sensing device including an array of sensors providing outputs responsive to the magnet field of the target device. A processing device receives the outputs of the sensors and calculates relative positions of the two parts based on the outputs.
