Publication number: 20240039281Abstract: A power control system in which power from a power supply is buffered until a predetermined level of buffered power is available at which time the system activates a device to function powered by the buffered power. Thus, by buffering the available power, a higher power requirement load can be operated periodically e.g. data can be transmitted to/from a wireless transceiver periodically.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2023Publication date: February 1, 2024Inventors: Richard REMEEUS, Dennis MULDERS, Theo DOUMA

Patent number: 11834193Abstract: A system includes three switches each having a single pole and dual throws. The respective single pole is on a supply side of the each respective switch. The dual throws are on a load side of each respective switch, and include a respective normally open (NO) throw and a respective normally closed (NC) throw. A first voltage detector is connected from the single pole of the first switch to the NC throw of the third switch. A second voltage detector is connected from the single pole of the second switch to the NC throw of the first switch. A third voltage detector is connected from the single pole of the third switch to a NC throw of the second switch.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2022Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: B/E Aerospace, Inc.Inventors: Dennis Mulders, Hans Huijsing

Patent number: 11602022Abstract: A circuit comprises an optical coupling including an illuminator optically coupled to an optical sensor to output a voltage from the optical sensor based on intensity of illumination from the illuminator. The circuit includes a voltage input node with a resistance connected in series between the voltage input and a Zener diode. A method includes powering an illuminator with current from a first voltage input node. The method includes sensing illumination level in illumination from the illuminator with a sensor and outputting output proportionate to illumination sensed by the sensor indicative of voltage detected at the voltage input node. The method can include limiting current between the voltage input node and the illuminator.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2020Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: B/E AEROSPACE, INC.Inventor: Dennis Mulders
