Publication number: 20240076048Abstract: A roll stabilization system for an aircraft ejection seat may be provided. An integral seat sequencer may activate an ejection sequence causing an aircraft ejection seat to be ejected from an aircraft. In various instances, particularly with lighter occupants of the aircraft ejection seat, the aircraft ejection seat may begin a rotational movement. To ameliorate this rotational movement, a roll correction rocket motor is installed on the aircraft ejection seat and selectively activated by the integral seat sequencer in the event that an undesired rotational movement is detected.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 2, 2022Publication date: March 7, 2024Applicant: Rockwell Collins, Inc.Inventors: Jeff Benjamin, Matthew H. Hartman

Patent number: 11815343Abstract: An output device and/or an output device assembly configured to be initiated in response to different types of input. The disclosed output device may be generally configured so as to be able to receive different types of input in order to produce an output. For example, the two different types of input may be mechanical force and fluid pressure, and thus the disclosed output device may be able to receive either form of input and convert either input into the desired/predetermined output.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2021Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: AMI INDUSTRIES, INC.Inventors: Steve Holstine, Kassidy L. Carson, Jeff Benjamin, John Hampton, Luis G. Interiano
