  • Publication number: 20230211195
    Abstract: The description relates to battery safety and more specifically to containing battery fires. One example can include displacement sub-systems configured to physically separate an affected battery pack from other battery packs. Another example can include a 3D deployable fire curtain configured to automatically deploy around a battery pack to limit the spread of fire between battery packs. A further example can include a media reservoir positioned over a battery pack that is configured to hold non-combustible smothering media. A media retainer can be interposed between the battery pack and the media reservoir and configured to automatically release the non-combustible smothering media into the battery pack support structure when the battery pack experiences a fire.

  • Publication number: 20220355918
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling an operating characteristic (for example ground clearance or acceleration) of a vehicle (100) resting on a contact surface (200) by means of at least one landing gear (150) comprising means of actuating (160) adapted to vary a behaviour of the landing gear when the latter is in contact with the contact surface, whereby the said method makes the operating characteristic of the vehicle dependent upon a given set-point by generating a command intended for the means of actuating as a function of a difference (?) between the operating characteristic and the set-point. According to the invention, the control system comprises the use of an estimation (Pest) of a load (P) seen by the landing gear to generate a modification of the command so as to minimise a variation in the deviation caused by a variation in the load.

  • Publication number: 20220269257
    Abstract: A vacuum system includes at least one cryopump; sensors associated with the cryopump, each of the sensors being configured to sense an operating condition of the cryopump; and diagnostic circuitry configured to receive signals sampled from the sensors. The diagnostic circuitry includes a diagnostic model of the cryopump, the diagnostic model being derived from historical data of a plurality of cryopumps of a same type operating over a plurality of regeneration and servicing time periods and being configured to relate values of the sampled signals from the at least some sensors to a probability of the pump failing within a predetermined time. The diagnostic circuitry is configured to apply the sampled signals to the diagnostic model and to determine the probability of the at least one cryopump failing within a predetermined time from an output of the model.
