  • Publication number: 20240165856
    Abstract: A composite laminate heating tool broadly comprising a substructure, a facesheet, and number of expansion joints. The substructure supports the facesheet but does not need to have the same or a similar CTE as the facesheet because the facesheet is free to expand relative to the substructure. The expansion joints provide an interface between the facesheet and the substructure so that the facesheet can thermally expand relative to the substructure while being fully supported by the substructure. Each expansion joint includes a guide attached to the substructure and a support member translatable relative to the guide and aligned radially from a centroid or center of expansion of the facesheet so as to have a single degree of freedom.

  • Publication number: 20240115455
    Abstract: A mobility device configurable in a first walk configuration and a second stair-climb configuration, including a frame with movable front leg portions, a leg-actuation system connected to the front leg portions and a safety-control device mounted to the frame. The safety-control device includes a configuration selector, and a lever connected to the leg-actuation system and configured to actuate the cable actuation system so as to cause the first and second movable leg portions to move from a first position to a second position. The lever remains locked in a first lever position such that the lever cannot be moved unless the configuration selector is in a depressed position, thereby preventing inadvertent movement of the leg portion.

  • Patent number: 11827365
    Abstract: A method of operating an optical icing conditions sensor includes transmitting a first light beam with a first transmitter and a second light beam with a second transmitter, thereby illuminating two illumination volumes. A first receiver receives the first light beam. A second receiver receives the second light beam. A controller measures the intensity of light received by the first and second receivers. The controller compares the intensities to threshold values and determines if either intensity is greater than the threshold values. The controller determines a cloud is present if either intensity is greater than the threshold values. The controller calculates a ratio of the intensities if a cloud is present. The controller determines, using the ratio, whether the cloud contains liquid water droplets, ice crystals, or a mixture of liquid water droplets and ice crystals.

  • Publication number: 20230120329
    Abstract: An optical sensor for an aircraft includes two detectors, a light source, and a controller. The detectors are oriented along detector paths and have tilt angles and fields of view. The detectors are configured to detect light reflected from an illumination volume and to generate detector signals that correspond to intensities of detected light. The tilt angles are equal such that each detector is oriented in an opposite direction within a plane containing a light source path and the detector paths. The light source is oriented along the light source path and is configured to illuminate the illumination volume which overlaps with the fields of view within a predetermined distance range. The controller is configured to receive the detector signals, detect whether a cloud is present based upon the detector signals, determine a cloud phase, and calculate a density of the detected cloud.

  • Publication number: 20230122889
    Abstract: A method of operating an optical icing conditions sensor includes transmitting, with a transmitter, a light beam and thereby illuminating an illumination volume. A receiver array receives light over a range of receiving angles. The receiver array is configured to receive light having the wavelength over a receiver array field of view which overlaps with the illumination volume. A controller measures an intensity of light received by the receiver array. The controller determines that a cloud is present if the intensity is greater than a threshold value. The controller calculates scattering profile data of the light received by the receiver array if a cloud is determined to be present, which includes an angle of a scattering intensity peak within the range of receiving angles and a breadth of the scattering intensity peak. The controller estimates a representative droplet size within the cloud using the scattering profile data.

  • Patent number: 11630216
    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to determining an effective size, quantity, shape, and type of water particles in a cloud atmosphere based on differences in amplitudes of optical signals backscattered at different backscattering angles. Off-axis backscattering—backscattering at angles other than 180 degrees—is affected by the effective size, quantity, shape, and type of water droplets. Detected amplitudes of optical signals that are backscattered at different angles are used to indicate the effective size, quantity, shape, and type of water particles in the cloud atmosphere. In some embodiments, optical emitters and detectors are configured to measure amplitudes of optical signals backscattered at backscattering angles of both on-axis—180 degrees—and off-axis varieties.
