Kevin Eugene Owens has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7775120
    Abstract: An electromechanical actuator test system includes an inertia simulator, a first load actuator, a second load actuator, and a test system control. The inertia simulator simulates the inertia of at least a portion of a system that is moved by a test actuator. The first load actuator supplies a first load to the inertia simulator to simulate at least one or more dynamic system loads, and the second load actuator supplies a second load to the inertia simulator to simulate at least one or more steady-state system loads. The test system control supplies the first actuator commands and the second actuator commands.

  • Publication number: 20100076716
    Abstract: A portable electromechanical actuator test system includes a command generator, a rechargeable battery system, an electronic power supply, and a power controller, all disposed within a portable housing. The command generator at least selectively supplies test actuator commands to, and receives operational feedback signals from, an electromechanical actuator (EMA) controller. The rechargeable battery system and electronic power supply each supply electric power. The power controller is coupled to receive the electric power supplied from both the rechargeable battery system and the electronic power supply, and is operable to at least selectively supply electric power to the EMA controller and to an EMA that is controlled by the EMA controller.
