  • Publication number: 20250151233
    Abstract: An electronics system 10 for an aircraft includes a mounting structure 12 and a generally planar plate element 40 mounted to the mounting structure 12 which has opposing face surfaces 41, 43 and includes a central region 50 and side edge regions 52. A serpentine passage 100 is formed in the plate element 40 between the face surfaces and contains alternating liquid slugs and vapor plugs along its length. The plate element 40 is configured for gathering heat proximate the central region 50 and moving the heat to the side edge regions 52 through interaction with the liquid slugs and vapor plugs of the serpentine passage. An electronic system 30, 32 is mounted on a face surface of the plate element proximate the central region 50.

  • Patent number: 11695225
    Abstract: An electrical connection system includes a mounting stud having a base configured for mounting to a conductive surface. One or more one ring-shaped lugs, formed of an electrically conductive material, are configured for being positioned on the mounting stud for surrounding the mounting stud. The ring-shaped lug includes one or a plurality of interior channels extending around the inside diameter thereof. A contact spring is seated within a respective interior channel and is electrically conductive and dimensioned to extend radially inwardly from the channel and contact the mounting stud when the ring-shaped lug is positioned thereon. The contact spring is configured to at least partially collapse in the radial direction and to provide a spring bias against the mounting stud for providing an electrical connection between the ring-shaped lug and mounting stud.

  • Publication number: 20220354020
    Abstract: An electronics system for an aircraft includes a mounting structure and a plate element mounted to the mounting structure with opposing face surfaces, a central region and side edge regions. A serpentine passage in the plate element contains alternating liquid slugs and vapor plugs along its length. The plate element is configured for gathering heat proximate the central region and moving the heat to the side edge regions. An electronic system is mounted on a face surface of the plate element and a heat dissipating structure is thermally coupled with the plate element and positioned along the side edge regions thereof for dissipating heat moved to the side edge regions. A cover structure covers the plate element and electronic system.
