Georg Muhlthaler 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: 8955804
    Abstract: An aircraft structure is provided with load-bearing hollow structural elements that form an aircraft fuselage. The cavities in the structural elements are designed as air ducts for an air conditioning system of the aircraft. An aircraft is also provided with such an aircraft structure.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 22, 2011
    Date of Patent: February 17, 2015
    Assignee: Airbus Operations GmbH
    Inventors: Nicholas Brownjohn, Georg Mühlthaler, Stefan Osternack

  • Patent number: 8104715
    Abstract: A window arrangement is provided for enlarging a window area in an aircraft. The window arrangement includes, but is not limited to at least one first installation element. The at least one first installation element is designed to convey fluids, and furthermore includes, but is not limited to a transparent region which covers a first window region such that light waves in the visible spectrum can be let through.

  • Patent number: 7967249
    Abstract: With a cooling system for expelling heat from a heat source (30) located in the interior of an aircraft to a heat reducer (32), with a piping system (10) sealed against the surrounding atmosphere which is thermally coupled to a heat intake section (14) with the heat source (38) and to a heat output section (22) with the heat reducer (32), and which preferably has an essentially adiabate transport section (21), it is proposed that the piping system (10) is filled with a heat conveyance medium (12) which, when taking in heat from the heat source (38) in the heat intake section (14) undergoes a transition from the liquid phase to the gaseous phase, then flows into the heat output section (22), and here, when discharging heat to the heat reducer (32) condenses once again, and flows back into the heat intake section (14).

  • Patent number: 7802732
    Abstract: A device for temperature regulation of sections of the interior of an aircraft includes a controlled mixer valve for the mixing of engine bleed air and air that is cooler than the engine bleed air in order to obtain pre-tempered mixed air flowing out of the mixer valve; a distribution line connected to the outlet of the mixer valve which is connected to the respective sections by at least two supply lines; individual heating units assigned to the respective sections; sensors assigned to the individual sections for the respective actual temperatures; transmitters for the respective nominal temperatures; and a regulator unit which controls the mixer valve dependent upon the respective nominal temperatures and the respective actual temperatures in the individual areas.

  • Publication number: 20070119584
    Abstract: A process for temperature regulation of sections of the interior of an aircraft with the following steps: recording of the respective actual temperatures and the respective nominal temperatures in the individual sections; mixing of engine bleed air and air which is cooler than the engine bleed air in order to obtain pre-tempered mixed air at a temperature which essentially corresponds to the lowest of the nominal temperatures recorded; distribution of the pre-tempered mixed air to all sections; and post-tempering of the mixed air distributed to the sections with higher nominal temperature corresponding to the differences between the respective nominal temperatures and the respective actual temperatures can be carried out in a device with a controlled mixer valve for the mixing of engine bleed air and air that is cooler than the engine bleed air in order to obtain pre-tempered mixed air flowing out of the mixer valve; to a distribution line connected to the outlet of the mixer valve which is connected to the r
