  • Apparatus for indicating loading in landing gear having exceeded a predetermined threshold
    Patent number: 7775093
    Abstract: Apparatus for indicating loading in a structure having exceeded a predetermined threshold is disclosed in which deformation of a structural element is identified by the torque required to rotate a gauge assembly integrated in the structure.
    Type: Grant

  • Device for locating objects that emit electromagnetic signals
    Patent number: 5920194
    Abstract: A locator such as a ground penetration probe (24) has spaced antennae (21,22,23) therein which detect electromagnetic signals from an object (26) such as a buried cable. By analyzing the electromagnetic signals using a suitable processor (25) it is possible to determine the separation of the locator and object (26), both in terms of the direction (X) corresponding to the spacing of the antennae (21,22,23) and the perpendicular direction (Y) to the object (26). This then permits a display to be generated showing visually the separation of the locator and the object (26). If the locator incorporates a tilt sensor, the processor (25) can then compensate for tilting of the locator, and determine the vertical and horizontal separation of the locator and the object (26).
