  • Patent number: 10673234
    Abstract: The invention relates to a power communication architecture (100) for an aircraft comprising: a power electronics module management unit (103) that is capable of receiving input signals (104) and of delivering a current setpoint (106); at least one power electronics module (107) that is capable of receiving said current setpoint (106); at least one load (105) that is controlled by the at least one power electronics module (107); the power electronics module management unit (103) storing control laws (108) for controlling the one or more loads (105) allowing a current setpoint (106) to be transmitted according to the input signals (104) and said control laws (108). The invention also relates to an electrical distribution device for an aircraft comprising at least one such architecture.

  • Patent number: 9284044
    Abstract: The invention concerns a device for the active control of a force feedback for a control device, comprising a calculator, a position sensor (3) configured to provide the calculator with an effective position signal (Pm) of the control device, and an actuator (2) ensuring the displacement of the control device at the command of the calculator, the calculator being configured to use the effective position signal and modulate a setpoint current (lc) delivered to the actuator to ensure the position feedback of the displacement of the control device, characterized in that the calculator is further configured to create at least one saturation terminal (Bsat+, Bsat?) according to a predetermined function of the value of the effective position signal of the position/force law kind, and to saturate the setpoint current using the at least one saturation terminal.
