  • Patent number: 11925823
    Abstract: The aircraft emergency oxygen supply system includes one or more sources of supplemental breathable oxygen, one or more inlet valves for one or more breathing devices, connected to the inlet valves, and one or more cabin air pressure transducers. A pressure controller controls the inlet valves in response to the one or more cabin air pressure transducers. One or more second pressure transducers may connected to conduits downstream of inlet valves to be monitored, and the pressure controller may also control operation of the inlet valves in response to the one or more second pressure transducers.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9616256
    Abstract: The auxiliary breathing flow channel apparatus for an oxygen mask for pilots and crew of an airplane includes a flow control device with closed and open positions to regulate flow through an auxiliary channel. A pressure sensor such as an aneroid capsule automatically closes the auxiliary channel upon a decrease in cabin pressure. A handle also allows a user to manually move the flow regulating means to a closed position.

  • Patent number: 9468780
    Abstract: An emergency oxygen supply system for use on aircraft in the event of a loss in cabin pressure is configured for delivering allotments of oxygen and timing the delivery such allotments to each passenger so as maximize the efficiency of the transfer of such oxygen into the passenger's bloodstream. The delivery of each allotment is selected so that the entire allotment is available for inhalation into the region of the lung most efficient at oxygen transfer while the volume of the allotment is selected to substantially coincide with the volume of such region of the lung.

  • Patent number: 6866794
    Abstract: The oxygen generating compositions are formed from a metal powder as a fuel, strontium peroxide as a chlorine suppressant, a catalyst, a reaction rate modifier, and an oxygen source selected from the group consisting of alkali metal chlorates, alkali metal perchlorates, and mixtures thereof. The oxygen generating compositions can optionally also further comprise a transition metal oxide catalyst, and can optionally further include a binder as a pressing aid for forming an oxygen generating oxygen generating block or core. The oxygen generating compositions can be formed from zero to about 15% by weight of metal powder as a fuel, about 0.1%-20% by weight strontium peroxide, from zero to about 15% by weight of a transition metal oxide catalyst, from zero to about 5% of an optional binder, and the remainder of an oxygen source selected from the group consisting of alkali metal chlorates, alkali metal perchlorates, and mixtures thereof.
