  • PROBE BLOCKAGE DETECTION AND REMOVAL
    Publication number: 20240053379
    Abstract: A system includes a body, a sensor, a pressurized fluid source, and a blockage detection module. The body defines a cavity open to an ambient environment at a port. The sensor communicates with the cavity to produce a signal representative of a fluid pressure within the cavity. The blockage detection module includes a pressure regulator and a valve disposed along a conduit fluidly connecting the pressurized fluid source to the cavity. The blockage detection module includes a processor and memory encoded with instructions of a blockage detection method.

  • Method to detect angle sensor performance degradation through dither monitoring
    Patent number: 9383249
    Abstract: A method for detecting angle sensor performance degradation in a flow angle measurement device in moving platform, such as aircraft and watercraft, as well as stationary platforms. Sensor dither in a flow angle measurement device is used to detect operational performance degradation of the sensor as a result of dynamic response changes caused by damaged or degraded mechanical components.
