  • Patent number: 10465679
    Abstract: An electric motor driven pump assembly configuration that includes an electric motor, a hydraulic pump driven by the electric motor is provided. The hydraulic pump is driven by the electric motor to convert electrical power into hydraulic power. A multi-inlet hydraulic pump enhances cooling flow through a pump case of the assembly and also enhances cooling flow for cooling the electric motor and corresponding drive/control components.

  • Patent number: 9169001
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to isolation and reconfiguration schemes, architectures and methods for use in aircraft hydraulic systems. The main hydraulic system of each hydraulic section of the aircraft hydraulic system can be isolated from one or more consumers in the event of a leak without the use pressure from the backup system. Further, in some embodiments, the main hydraulic system of each hydraulic section of the aircraft hydraulic system can be isolated from one or more consumers in the event of a leak without the use pressure from the backup system and the main system.
