  • Passenger seat assembly with associated floor panel and aircraft sidewall attachment, and method
    Patent number: 8544796
    Abstract: An aircraft passenger seat assembly includes a seat frame on which is mounted at least one seat back, a seat pan and a plurality of seat legs and at least one seat floor panel having integrated floor panel seat tracks mounted therein and adapted for being mounted onto an aircraft deck. A mounting rail is mounted onto an aircraft fuselage sidewall, and leg track fasteners detachably secure the seat legs to the floor panel seat tracks and frame seat fasteners for mounting the seat frame to the sidewall mounted rail.

  • Method and apparatus for cooling sensors in high temperature environments
    Patent number: 5450753
    Abstract: Sensor assemblies, comprising one or more sensors for use in high-temperature environments such as an aircraft wing, include a thermally conductive retaining member in thermal communication with either the sensor or the environment surrounding the sensor. A housing assembly placed proximate to, and in thermal communication with, the retaining member defines a fluid passageway. During operation, fluid circulates through the housing to enhance the transfer of heat away from the sensor. Such heat transfer facilitates maintaining a sensor environment within the tolerance range of the sensor, thereby facilitating monitoring of the pressure fluctuation (or other sensor parameter) during operation of the aircraft.
