Patent number: 10569885Abstract: There is provided an aeronautic vehicle including a first engine capable of providing propulsion and pressurising air and an environmental control system. The environmental control system includes an electrically powered compressor capable of pressurising air and a first pressurised air powered environmental control system pack. The environmental control system is configurable to provide pressurised air from the first engine to the first environmental control system pack, and the environmental control system is configurable to a ground configuration in which pressurised air is provided from the electrically powered compressor to the first environmental control system pack. There is also provided an environmental control system for an aeronautic vehicle and a method of operating an environmental control system of an aeronautic vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2017Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignees: Honeywell UK Limited, Honeywell Aerospace BVInventors: Jan Ludvik, Michael John Street

Patent number: 5967081Abstract: An arrangement for the automatic application of milking apparatus to a milk animal including a milking apparatus store, a milking apparatus handling device including a milking apparatus carrier movable on the device and a teat sensor on the handling device together with at least one animal position sensor and a control unit responsive to the animal and teat sensors to operate the handling device, the arrangement being such that when an animal is sensed to be in milking position the control unit operates the handling device to take milking apparatus for a teat of the animal from the store in the carrier to a specific teat with the carrier moved to a sideways offset at a selected angle to the device and the teat sensor in range of the teat.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 1998Date of Patent: October 19, 1999Assignee: BTG International LimitedInventors: Michael John Street, Toby Trevor Fury Mottram, Arthur Leonard Wilkin, Robert Christopher Hall
