Publication number: 20230400356Abstract: An optical-based fire detection system has a fire detecting mode in which the system is monitoring a flammable region for occurrence of fire in the flammable region and a system calibrating mode in which functionality of the system can be verified. The system comprises a light signal collecting unit located inside of the flammable region. The system also comprises a light signal processing unit located outside of the flammable region. The system further comprises a light signal calibrating unit located outside of the flammable region. The system also comprises one or more optical fiber bundles optically interconnecting the collecting unit, the processing unit, and the calibrating unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2022Publication date: December 14, 2023Applicant: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Philipp A.

Patent number: 11752372Abstract: An ignition suppressing enclosure configured to contain an ignition source is disclosed and includes a body portion defining an inner surface, an outer surface, and an enclosed volume containing a flammable gaseous mixture. The enclosed volume is sized to contain the ignition source. The enclosed volume of the ignition suppressing enclosure is surrounded by an exterior combustible environment also containing the flammable gaseous mixture. The ignition suppressing enclosure includes one or more vent paths that extend between the inner surface and the outer surface of the body portion, where each individual vent path includes an effective diameter based on at least a minimum ignition energy of the flammable gaseous mixture. The effective diameter of the individual vent path is selected to quench a flame that occurs within the enclosed volume of the ignition suppressing enclosure.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2020Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Jason S Damazo, Eddie Kwon, William J Sweet, Philipp A Boettcher

Patent number: 11022164Abstract: A cover that extends over a fastener and methods of installing the cover over the fastener. The cover includes an open end positioned at a member from which the fastener extends. The cover also includes a closed end that extends over the fastener and shields the fastener from the exterior environment that can be combustible. The cover includes an outer shell with one or more windows. An inner shell is positioned within the outer shell. The inner shell includes one or more windows that are offset from the windows of the outer shell. One or more flow paths extend through the windows for gas, liquid, and/or some particles to flow through the cover while removing the thermal and/or kinetic energy that may ignite the combustible exterior environment.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2018Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: THE BOEING COMPANYInventors: Christopher Stephen Roper, Randall Colin Schubert, Eddie Kwon, Jason S.

Patent number: 10608418Abstract: A combustion test system includes a power source and a corona generator coupled to the power source. The combustion test system also includes a charge storage device. The charge storage device includes a charging surface spaced apart from the corona generator such that charge carriers, motivated by an electric field of the corona generator, intersect the charging surface to charge the charge storage device. The combustion test system also includes a first electrode coupled to the charge storage device and a second electrode coupled to a reference ground. The second electrode is spaced apart from the first electrode to produce an electrical arc between the first electrode and the second electrode based on a voltage difference between the first electrode and the second electrode.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2018Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: THE BOEING COMPANYInventors: Jason S.

Patent number: 10132722Abstract: Disclosed are ignition source testing systems and methods that utilize a foam with flammable components to indicate the presence of an ignition source on a test article (such as metallic components of a fuel system). Foam is applied to the test article and an energy discharge (such as a simulated lightning strike) is applied to the test article with the foam. The energy discharge may create an ignition source (such as an arc) on the test article that is sufficient to ignite the foam. Test methods comprise determining whether the foam ignited in response to the energy discharge. Test systems comprise the foam, the test article at least partially covered by the foam, and an energy source configured to discharge energy into the test article.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2017Date of Patent: November 20, 2018Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Eddie Kwon, Jason S.
