Abstract: Generally described, an architecture for an aircraft braking system is provided. The architecture includes a brake having friction members and electromechanical actuators, each electromechanical actuator having an electric motor and a power module; a computer arranged to produce digital control signals; a power unit arranged to produce an electrical power supply for powering the electric motors; and a junction box disposed on the undercarriage. The junction box may be configured to receive and to distribute the electrical power supply. The junction box generally includes an electrical motor control module that produces digital motor command signals from the digital control signals, and an electrical converter module that converts the digital motor command signals into analog motor command signals for the power modules of the electromechanical actuators.

Abstract: An electrical harness including at least one upstream connector arranged to be electrically connected to a computer, at least one downstream connector arranged to be connected to a complementary connector of an electromechanical actuator, and at least one electric wire electrically connecting the upstream connector and the downstream connector, the electric wire configured such that primary digital control signals produced or transferred by the computer travel over the electric wire via the upstream connector. The electrical harness may also include an electronic unit integrated in the electrical harness, the electronic unit configured to transform the primary digital control signals into analog control signals and to transmit the analog control signals to the electromechanical actuator via the downstream connector.

Abstract: A braking system architecture for aircraft, the architecture comprising: a brake including friction members and electromechanical actuators for exerting a braking torque on the wheel; a computer situated in the fuselage of the aircraft and arranged to produce first control signals; and a junction box situated on the undercarriage, the junction box being connected to the computer and to the electromechanical actuators, the junction box being configured to receive the first control signals and to use the first control signals to produce second control signals for application to the electromechanical actuators in order to control the electromechanical actuators.

Abstract: A method for treating hard tissue infection in a site-specific manner, comprising preparing a negative mold of the hard tissue using an impression material which contains a diagnostic additive which generates an identifiable signal on contact with infected tissue; applying a treatment agent to the negative mold at one or more of infected sites; and re-applying the negative mold on the originally molded hard tissue for a suitable period of time. Also disclosed are methods for making the negative mold, a mouthpiece corresponding to the negative mold, and a treatment device, as well as the treatment device and mouse piece so produced.
