  • Patent number: 11664004
    Abstract: To reduce engine noise in the cabin of an aircraft a plurality of error microphones is deployed at predetermined locations within the cabin to produce error microphone response signals associated with the engine noise in the cabin. Engine vibration inputs are obtained from sensors coupled to the aircraft engines. A processor is used to code the error microphone response signals into an encoded modal response in the cabin through a coding matrix. A processor is used to apply an adaptive filter to determine a plurality of modal signals needed to cancel the encoded modal response in the cabin. A processor is used to decode the modal signals into speaker input signals through a decoding matrix. Speaker input signals are then sent to a plurality of speakers to reduce the engine noise in the cabin.

  • Patent number: 9302767
    Abstract: A nose landing gear arrangement for an aircraft and a method of assembling the nose landing gear arrangement are disclosed herein. The nose landing gear arrangement includes, but is not limited to, a wheel assembly, a shock strut extending upwards from the wheel assembly towards a fuselage of the aircraft, and a torque arm assembly coupled to the wheel assembly and to the shock strut. The torque arm assembly is configured to transmit torque to the wheel assembly. The torque arm assembly is disposed forward of the shock strut with respect to a direction of travel of the aircraft.

  • Patent number: 5439567
    Abstract: A process for treatment of a fluid in need of treatment. The process comprising the steps of: (i) feeding the fluid in need of treatment to a fluid treatment chamber having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet; (ii) passing the fluid in need of treatment through the fluid inlet into the treatment chamber; (iii) forcing the fluid in need of treatment through at least one fluid permeable electrolytic cell disposed substantially transverse to flow of the fluid, the electrolytic cell comprising a channel defined by an outer, perforated first electrode and an inner, coaxially disposed second electrode; (iv) subjecting the fluid in need of treatment to electrolysis as it passes through the channel; (v) forcing the fluid to the fluid outlet; and (vi) allowing the fluid to exit the fluid outlet.

  • Patent number: 5108563
    Abstract: A process for treating water comprises feeding water to be treated into an electrolytic cell. The electrolytic cell comprises a first electrode and a second electrode, wherein the first electrode at least partially encompasses the second electrode. The water to be treated is subjected to electrolysis in the presence of an electrolyte, and, preferably, in the presence of elemental carbon. An apparatus for conducting the process is also provided.
