  • Hose management system for supplying conditioned air to an aircraft
    Patent number: 10155595
    Abstract: A hose management system with a longitudinally collapsible duct-like air hose may supply conditioned air for heating and/or cooling an aircraft. The system has a temperature controlled container and a motorized remotely controlled drive with treads for feeding out hose to a length appropriate to hook up to a stationary aircraft. The motorized drive also retracts the hose back into the container. The hose may have scuff strips, hook and loop fasteners, and reflective strips.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 7, 2016
    Date of Patent: December 18, 2018
    Assignee: Twist, Inc.
    Inventors: Joe W. Wright, Frank Bair, Scott E. Schrinner, Dave McIntire

  • Preconditioned air (PCA) temperature monitor
    Patent number: 8665100
    Abstract: The performance of a PCA unit associated with an airport gate is monitored by a temperature sensor in the stream of output air leaving the PCA unit, to produce a signal indicative of the temperature of the output air that may be compared to an acceptable range of values, or to the temperature of air input to the PCA unit (as measured by a second temperature sensor). An alert is generated to a human operator if the temperature measured does not compare favorably with the desired range.
