  • Publication number: 20250085729
    Abstract: A method of controlling a power distribution system comprising an electronic controller in data communication with a first message converter and a second message converter, a logic circuit in data communication with the first and second message converters, and a switching device in data communication with the logic circuit is disclosed. The method includes sending a first message from the controller to the first message converter and sending a second, dissimilar, message from the controller to the second message converter. The method further includes generating a first command signal via the first message converter and generating a second command signal via the second message converter. The method further requires comparing the first command signal to the second command signal via the logic circuit, generating a final command signal based on the result of the comparison, and operating the switching device via the final command signal.

  • Patent number: 6136267
    Abstract: A fuel ignition arrester system that has a feedback control to maintain the fuel/air mixture in the ullage of a fuel tank above the flammability range. The system uses a photoelectric detector to signal when the fuel/air mixture concentration falls or rises to a predetermined concentration value. The predetermined value is selected to be higher than the upper limit of the flammability range so that the fuel/air mixture is maintained above the range and, thus, incombustible. A fuel pump and piping system with nozzles is arranged to inject fuel into the ullage when the concentration falls to the predetermined value and to stop injecting fuel when the concentration rises to the predetermined value. A flammability detection system includes the detector and a controller that produces an annunciating signal when the fuel/air mixture concentration is equal to or between the upper and lower limits of the flammability range.
