  • Publication number: 20240159797
    Abstract: A test and measurement system includes one or more remote heads, each of the one or more remote heads configured to be coupled to a respective device under test (DUT) to receive an electrical test signal from the DUT and each of the one or more remote heads including an electrical-to-optical (EOM) configured to convert the received electrical test signal into an optical test signal. Optical interconnection circuitry receives the optical test signal from the EOM of the one or more remote heads and, in response to control signals, selects one of the optical test signals to be provided to a test and measurement system. The optical interconnection circuitry further converts the selected optical test signal into an electrical test signal to be supplied to a test port of the test and measurement instrument. Methods are also described.

  • Patent number: 9718533
    Abstract: Aircraft fuel tank access door systems and methods incorporating one or more of an outer fuel tank access door completely encapsulated by a dielectric material and an inner fuel tank access door comprising at least one drainage feature are disclosed. These systems and methods reduce or prevent (i) fuel pooling on the inner fuel tank access door, (ii) moisture pooling between the inner and outer fuel tank access doors, and (iii) p-static build up and lightning attachment to the outer fuel tank access door to increase safety, reduce the likelihood of corrosion and ease installation of the fuel tank access door system.
