  • Patent number: 10933982
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for controlling landing gear retract braking are described. A controller determines wheel speed data corresponding to a speed of a wheel of a landing gear. The controller determines wheel deceleration data corresponding to a rate of change of the wheel speed data. The controller generates a first control signal in response to the wheel deceleration data being greater than a wheel deceleration threshold. The first control signal initiates a wheel deceleration regulation process, the wheel deceleration regulation process to cycle an antiskid valve between a first valve position to release brake pressure from the wheel and a second valve position to cease releasing the brake pressure from the wheel. The controller generates a second control signal in response to the wheel speed data being less than a wheel speed threshold. The second control signal terminates the wheel deceleration regulation process.

  • Patent number: 10801829
    Abstract: Swept source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) systems and methods may employ down-conversion. Down-converter systems and methods may utilize a distribution element and a frequency down shifter. The distribution element may receive an output signal of a photo detection device, the output signal comprising a first frequency component at or below a maximum conversion frequency and a second frequency component above the maximum conversion frequency. The distribution element may send the first frequency component to an analog to digital (A/D) converter and send the second frequency component to a frequency down shifter. The frequency down shifter may down shift the second frequency component to a frequency at or below the maximum conversion frequency to form a down shifted second frequency component. The frequency down shifter may send the down shifted second frequency component to the A/D converter.
