Publication number: 20220355918Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 6, 2020Publication date: November 10, 2022Applicant: SAFRAN LANDING SYSTEMSInventors: Andrew ELLIS, Graeme KLIM

Publication number: 20220269257Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2020Publication date: August 25, 2022Inventors: Derrick Gordon, Rajesh Melkote, Andrew Ellis Longley, John Peter Nordquist
