  • Conduction cooled autonomous gimbaled inertial measurement unit
    Patent number: 9986660
    Abstract: Conductive cooled gimbaled inertial measurement units are disclosed herein. An example apparatus includes an inertial measurement unit, a gimbal assembly in which the inertial measurement unit is disposed, the gimbal assembly having gaps between each gimbal of the gimbal assembly, the gaps including a gas to conduct heat from the gimbal assembly, and an isothermal dome at least partially surrounding the gimbal assembly, the isothermal dome having a cooling tube disposed on an external surface of the isothermal dome to transfer heat from the gimbal assembly via conduction.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 4, 2016
    Date of Patent: May 29, 2018
    Assignee: The Boeing Company
    Inventors: Stephen Butscher, James K. Gingrich, Shaun Detloff, Joseph Brent Templeton, Dwayne C. Merna, Joseph Eugene Justin
