Patents by Inventor Berardino C. Scanderbeg

Berardino C. Scanderbeg has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7393185
    Abstract: A pressure sensor subsystem measures the pressure within a fuel pump and outputs an under-pressure signal when the measured pressure is below a predetermined threshold pressure value. A temperature sensor subsystem measures the temperature within the fuel pump and outputs an over-temperature signal when the measured temperature is above a predetermined threshold temperature value. A timing circuit monitors the pressure sensor subsystem and the temperature sensor subsystem for output of the under-pressure and over-temperature signals and outputs a pump disconnect signal when at least one of the signals is output for a prescribed time duration. A power controller disengages power from the pump upon output of a pump disconnect signal by the timing circuit.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6837744
    Abstract: The improved electrical connector for aircraft fuel pumps includes a unitary cup-shaped connector shell with an outer radial connector flange, and is configured to increase the distance between connector pins and grounded portions of the connector shell to thus increase the electrical current leak path length to prevent arcing from occurring. A glass electrical insulating plug in the connector shell forms a hermetic seal of the closed end of the connector shell and a plurality of ceramic tubular risers are mounted to the glass insulating plug. Connector pins extend through the risers, and electrical cables are connected to the connector pins. One or more outer layers of heat shrunk electrical insulating tubing cover the risers, a portion of the connector pins extending from the risers, and the electrical cables. An electrical insulating tubular extension may also be placed over the outer layer of insulating tubing.
