Abstract: In an aspect a system for battery environment management in an electric aircraft, where in the system include, at least a at least a battery pack mounted within a fuselage of an electric aircraft. A battery pack may include a plurality of batteries configured to provide electrical power to the electric aircraft. A battery pack may also include a pouch cell. Adjacent to the battery pack there may be at least a channel. A channel is configured to provide a flow path for directing battery ejecta to a predetermined location.

Abstract: A fluid dispensing control unit is provided that includes at least one electronic circuitry processor configured to function as a web server, at least one generic purpose input/output block for connecting to a fluid dispensing system device being a fluid valve, a meter, a pump or a tank for controlling or metering the dispensed fluid or for controlling the fluid pump or tank. The fluid dispensing control unit further includes at least one web input/output block that is provided for connecting the web server to a web enabling a remote control of the fluid dispensing control unit and the connected fluid dispensing system device via the web. The at least one generic purpose input/output block and the one web input/output block are connected with the at least one electronic circuitry processor.

Abstract: A dispensing device for maintaining the operating condition of a machine is provided. The dispensing device includes an interchangeable control module, the interchangeable control module including control hardware that provides at least one of a data storage memory, a central processing unit, interface hardware for condition monitoring sensors, an intermediary computing device, a display device, and communication modules. The dispensing device is configured to dispense lubricant in order to maintain the operating condition of the machine. The interchangeable control module is configured to interchangeably control and interchangeably reside in both a fixed and a portable dispensing device. Also, various related systems including the dispensing device are provided.

Abstract: A lubrication system for lubricating bearings that includes at least one lubrication pump for pumping lubricant to the bearings and at least one metering valve for distributing the pumped lubricant throughout the lubrication system to the bearings. The system further includes a lubrication controller in communication with the at least one lubrication pump and at least one metering valve for controlling the lubrication system. The controller has firmware configured to provide a sequence of instructions to perform specified tasks and hardware that carries out the sequence of instructions to perform the specified tasks. In an unconfigured and unconnected state, the lubrication controller can be configured by reprogramming the firmware, to selectively control at least one of a series progressive lubrication system, a dual line lubrication system and a single line parallel lubrication system.

Abstract: A lubrication system for lubricating at least one movable machine component includes a lubricant reservoir containing a lubricant and a fluid line fluidly coupled with the reservoir and having an outlet for dispensing the lubricant on or within the machine component. A valve selectively permits lubricant flow through the fluid line so as to dispense a quantity of lubricant through the fluid line outlet. A sensor senses a property of the machine component or the quantity of lubricant. A control is coupled with the sensor and with the valve, the control being configured to receive information from the sensor, to determine an estimated period of effectiveness of the quantity of lubricant using the sensor information, and to operate the valve based on the estimated lubricant effectiveness period so as to dispense another quantity of lubricant on or within the machine component.
