  • ASM output ultrasonic oxygen sensor
    Patent number: 7574894
    Abstract: A gas measuring method, apparatus and system for measuring a concentration of a gas of interest is disclosed. The gas concentration is based on a propagation delay of a sonic or ultrasonic wave as the wave travels through the gas. The propagation delay is measured such that delay contributions from sources other than the gas itself are canceled. A sensor in accordance with the invention includes an sonic or ultrasonic transmitter and receiver, and a control module for performing calculations. The sensor can be used in various applications, including on-board inert gas generating systems (OBIGGS).

  • Method of sealing a panel to an aircraft structure
    Patent number: 6915987
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of providing a seal between an aircraft structure (14) and a removable panel (26) mountable on the structure to close an opening (12) therein. According to the invention, the method comprises applying a sealant compound (28) for example a polysulphide rubber compound, to one of the structure and the panel, forming a rebate (46) in the sealant compound, and providing a sealant tape (48) to fit within the rebate. Subsequently, the panel is fastened to the structure with the seal (50) comprising the sealant compound and the sealant tape being sandwiched between the structure and the panel and encircling the opening.
