Patent number: 10449812Abstract: Cold check gas pressure readings for the landing gear tires of an aircraft are obtained automatically during normal operation of the aircraft. The automated system (S1, e.g.) includes monitoring aircraft data to determine that the aircraft is at rest on the ground (32,345,36), and electronically monitoring the tire pressure (24). When predetermined cold check conditions have been met; the tire pressure values are automatically stored with a timestamp (38) for later access by a user.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2015Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: ELDEC CorporationInventors: Bradley Smith, Mark Finefrock, Jeffrey Green, Jonathan Lumb

Patent number: 9061553Abstract: The aircraft tire pressure loop link is formed of first and second single metal loops connected by parallel spaced apart metal shafts, and provides for coupling a magnetic field between a wheel hub coil and a tire pressure sensor coil to provide electromagnetic communication between a control unit connect to the wheel hub coil and a tire pressure sensor connected to the tire pressure sensor coil. The current induced in the first single metal loop travels the distance from the edge of the wheel axle coil to the periphery of the of the wheel rim to the second single metal loop, which generates the flux in the tire pressure sensor receiver coil necessary to power the tire pressure sensor.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2014Date of Patent: June 23, 2015Assignee: Eldec CorporationInventors: Jeff Lamping, Mark Finefrock
