  • Patent number: 11509132
    Abstract: A system for monitoring performance of an aircraft windshield includes a sensor comprising a sensory contact and an evaluation unit. The sensory contact is in physical contact with one or more components of the windshield, and generates a signal representative of the performance of the component(s) of the windshield. An electrical connector is secured to the surface of the windshield facing the interior of the aircraft. The signal from the sensory contact passes through the connector to the evaluation unit. The evaluation unit acts on the signal to determine the performance of the component(s) of the windshield, wherein the evaluation unit is spaced from and out of physical contact with the windshield and the electrical connector, and is in electrical contact with the electrical connector.

  • Patent number: 5102033
    Abstract: The fillet-forming ability of brazeable aluminum alloy materials, such as brazing sheet or heat exchanger components, for example fins, tubes and headers, is significantly improved by treating the material, prior to brazing, with an aqueous acid solution containing a dilute mixture of HF and HNO.sub.3. The treatment generally takes place for a period of not less than 5 seconds within the temperature range from about 15 to about 98.degree. C.

  • Patent number: 4273637
    Abstract: A system for measuring the potential between a working electrode in a pressurized, high temperature environment containing a solution which supports electrolytic conduction and a reference electrode is disclosed herein. This system utilizes an external reference electrode assembly which includes a particular technique of balancing its own internal pressure with the pressure in the high temperature environment in order to eliminate streaming potentials between the working electrode and the reference electrode. This assembly also includes a technique for maintaining the concentration of electrolytic solution at a substantially fixed and uniform level so as to maintain a fixed thermal liquid junction.
