Publication number: 20070210266Abstract: One or more fixed-orientation fanned laser beams and one or more displacement measurement devices to precisely measure the orientation of a payload platform are disclosed in a metrology system and method. The measurement devices may be distributed at locations across a payload platform such that displacement changes of these devices can be used to accurately determine platform pointing. Laser beam transmitters may be fixed in the same reference block to which a spacecraft attitude sensor is mounted. Fanned laser beams are transmitted from these sources to the measurement devices so that their displacements can be determined with respect to the plane of the fanned beams and thereby with respect to the spacecraft attitude sensor. Only a small number of fixed laser beams are needed to achieve precision measurements at a reduced cost, weight and power, and with increased system reliability and simplified system integration.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2006Publication date: September 13, 2007Applicant: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Ketao Liu, Gregory Becker, Peter Sedivec, Douglas Bender

Publication number: 20070027590Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to precision control system for spacecraft gimbaled payloads. Embodiments of the invention provide an innovative technique of calibrating gimbals disturbances to directly canceling gimbal control disturbances. Such a calibration system includes a receiver for receiving telemetry data for pointing a payload, a processor for calculating a disturbance parameter vector for a gimbal disturbance model with the telemetry data and a transmitter for transmitting the disturbance parameter vector to compensate for pointing error when applied in pointing the payload. The gimbal disturbance model comprises a harness stiffness term, a disturbance harmonics term and at least one friction hysteresis term. The telemetry data may be time matched prior to calculating the disturbance parameter vector.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2005Publication date: February 1, 2007Applicant: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Ketao Liu, Justin Burch, Gregory Becker, Patrick Nelson

Patent number: 7161799Abstract: The present invention is directed to a laptop platform for resting a laptop computer on a user's lap; the platform comprising a composite structure having risers to establish an air gap between the platform and the laptop. In one embodiment the platform is further configured with upper and lower layers including a plurality of ribs extending therebetween to define a pocket or pockets of air. The air pockets act as a second insulating source while the ribs aid in stiffening the platform. Further, a designated insulation material may be is adhered to the lower surface of the platform to create a third, separate barrier to heat transfer across the platform.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2004Date of Patent: January 9, 2007Inventors: Michael Z.

Patent number: RE49947Abstract: A system for supplying hydrogen gas to a lighter-than-air (LTA) vehicle includes a manifold having multiple vessels. Each vessel has a first chamber that is separated from a second chamber by a barrier. A trigger assembly integrated with the barrier allows a liquid to be combined with a reactant and a catalyst in the second chamber to form a chemical reaction to generate hydrogen gas. A pressure relief valve located on each vessel opens to allow the hydrogen gas to exit when a predetermined pressure is reached, and the hydrogen gas is supplied to the LTA vehicle connected to the manifold.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2023Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Pamela A.
