  • Publication number: 20240044385
    Abstract: A motor sub-assembly for an electromechanical brake actuator of an aircraft wheel includes a casing, a shaft mounted in the casing, and an electric motor mounted in the casing rotate the shaft, the shaft having an end connected to a screw-and-nut assembly to exert a force on a stack of disks for braking the aircraft wheel. The shaft has a first set of teeth and the motor sub-assembly has a shuttle mounted to slide relative to the casing and provided with a second set of teeth. The motor sub-assembly includes a selector mechanism that moves the shuttle selectively between first and second positions in which the first set of teeth is engaged and disengaged with the second set of teeth, respectively. The motor sub-assembly includes a holder device that holds the shuttle in the first position and a locking device that continuously prevents the shuttle from rotating relative to the casing.

  • Publication number: 20230126810
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for securely obtaining access to patient data associated with a patient using a sensor system configured for monitoring analyte levels of a patient. In one aspect, a method includes receiving, at a display device, one or more communications from the sensor system, wherein the one or more communications include identifiable information associated with the sensor system and are transmitted by the sensor system via an advertisement channel; inserting, at the display device, the identifiable information in a web request; providing, at the display device, the web request including the identifiable information to a data management system to request access to the patient data; and obtaining access to the patient data through a web browser upon the data management system verifying that the identifiable information matches a second identifiable information stored in the patient data.

  • Patent number: 11565670
    Abstract: An electric braking system (1) for braking an aircraft, the system comprising: a brake (3) comprising an electromechanical actuator (5) designed so that when it applies a force to the friction members (4) that is less than or equal to a first maximum threshold, no degradation of the actuator occurs, and when it applies a force to the friction members (4) that is greater than the first maximum threshold, degradation is likely to occur; control means (7) configurable to occupy a first mode in which the controlled braking force cannot exceed the first maximum threshold, and to occupy a second mode in which the controlled braking force can reach the second maximum threshold; and configuration means (10) arranged to configure the control means (7) to occupy the second mode when in a situation preceding a potential interruption of takeoff (RTO) of the aircraft, and otherwise to occupy the first mode.

  • Patent number: 10690692
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for linking an end (9) of a shaft (8) of a tachometer (7) positioned in a landing gear hub (1) and a wheel (2) mounted to rotate on said hub, the method comprising the step of equipping the wheel with a housing (14) suitable for receiving the end of the shaft of a tachometer and driving the shaft in rotation with the wheel, the housing comprising a bearing member (17) protruding inside the housing to be pushed back by the end of the shaft against an elastic member (18) to take up any play between the end of the shaft and the housing. The invention also relates to a bush ensuring application.

  • Patent number: 9638278
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electromechanical actuator for a vehicle brake comprising a body (4) in which are arranged an electric motor (5) and a threaded plunger cooperating via a helical link with a nut (8) driven in rotation by the electric motor (5). According to the invention, the nut (8) is mounted to move axially in the body (4) of the actuator between a rest position towards which the nut (8) is pushed back by elastic means, and an active position towards which the nut is displaced against the elastic means when a braking force is applied, the actuator further comprising means for detecting the axial displacement of the nut.

  • Patent number: 9566970
    Abstract: An electromechanical actuator for a vehicle brake, the actuator comprising first and second portions 8 and 9 that are separable. The first portion 8 includes an electric motor 5 and connection structure 15 for connecting the actuator to an external control structure 4. The second portion 9 including a slidable pusher 6, the second portion 9 also including measurement structure 21. The first portion 8 includes a first antenna 14 connected to the connection structure 15, and the second portion 9 includes a second antenna 22 connected to the measurement structure 21, the two antennas 14, 22 being arranged to be electromagnetically coupled together when the first portion 8 and the second portion 9 are coupled together, so as to enable electrical signals to be transferred between the measurement structure 21 and the connection structure 15.

  • Publication number: 20150266568
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electromechanical brake actuator for an aircraft wheel, comprising an electric motor (2) with a stator (3) and a rotor (4), a screw/nut assembly, of which one of the elements is rotationally driven by the motor and the other of the elements is compelled to slide without rotation to selectively exert a force on a stack of discs, the actuator comprising a park blocking member (10) suitable for selectively blocking the rotor of the motor at least when the sliding element exerts a force on the stack of discs. The park blocking member comprises a shuttle (17) that can move between a stable position of blocking of the rotor of the motor and a stable position of freeing the latter under the action of a pulse actuator (22, 24, 25) switching the shuttle from one position to the other, the brake actuator comprising means (9, 18) for forcing the shuttle to the freeing position when the motor of the brake actuator is powered.
