Patent number: 11726505Abstract: The present application generally relates to aircraft water management. The disclosed system provides an initial step of verifying the amount of available water on board and dynamically regulating water usage during flight based on projections and comparisons between projections and actual usage. The system implements a series of water conservation strategies modeled on historical data, using a control system to manage water usage.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2020Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: MAG Aerospace Industries, LLCInventors: Deborah Osborne, Nguyen Tram, Arnaud Namer, Jean Gayoso

Publication number: 20220388663Abstract: A rinse ring system for use on a toilet. The rinse ring is a dual channel rinse ring, which allows the toilet to be flushed with either potable water from a fresh water system or with grey water from a grey water source. Other flush fluids are possible for use. The dual channel rinse ring provides separation between entry points for potable water rinse and the grey water rinse, preventing the possibility of contamination of the potable water source with grey water.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 12, 2020Publication date: December 8, 2022Inventors: David Beach, Jean Gayoso, Razmik Boodaghians, Steven Schwartz, Peter Kazemi, Nguyen Tram

Patent number: 9869079Abstract: Embodiments of disclosure provide an intermediate accumulator that can receive and hold water prior to its delivery to a vacuum toilet or other water-using source. The pump required to move water from the reservoir to the intermediate accumulator can be much lighter and smaller than pumps previously required in systems that do not use an intermediate accumulator. Providing an intermediate accumulator can provide a more constant flush by holding the pressure inside the accumulator more constant, by equalizing the pressure, and by lowering the total volume required per flush. The accumulator can store energy in the water and deliver it to a water-using source using less energy and requiring less volume.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2015Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Assignee: MAG Aerospace Industries, LLCInventors: Razmik B. Boodaghians, Salvador Padilla, Christina Ortolan, Nguyen Tram, Timothy Birbeck
