  • Patent number: 11099096
    Abstract: A pressure measurement tool secured to a rod arranged across a duct of an engine of an aircraft. A sheath includes two walls which bound a space receiving the rod, the space communicating with the outside by an opening extending over the length of the sheath, the sheath having a bay extending over the length of the sheath and cavities distributed over the sheath. For each cavity, an air inlet including a passage opens at one end into the cavity another end into the duct. A printed circuit board runs along the bay. For each passage, a pressure sensor in the corresponding cavity faces the passage and is on the printed circuit board. A unit is provided for processing and/or recording the data transmitted by the pressure sensors. It is thus easy to install and makes it possible to take a large number of measurements in the secondary duct.

  • Patent number: 11029323
    Abstract: In order to be able to determine with precision the location of the stagnation point at different zones along the leading edge of an aerodynamic profile, a system comprises rows of pressure sensors distributed on either side of the leading edge and forming, virtually, patterns that are spaced apart from one another in the form of simple polygonal lines, and a computer connected to the pressure sensors. The computer determines, along each of the patterns, a respective stagnation point position that is defined by a curved abscissa for which a pressure interpolated on the basis of pressure measurements provided by the pressure sensors of the corresponding row is at a maximum, and by an altitude evaluated on the basis of respective altitude data from the pressure sensors of the corresponding row.

  • Patent number: 10352739
    Abstract: A measurement device can be attached to an outer wall of a movable object or of a stationary object arranged in a flow of air in order to measure physical quantities. The measurement device includes a mounting which has recesses having an opening leading to the outside, sensors being provided in said recesses. The device includes a cavity into which the recesses lead and which contains a flexible printed circuit, to which the sensors are connected. The method for manufacturing such a device includes the following steps: attaching sensors to the flexible printed circuit; and attaching the flexible printed circuit provided with sensors to the mounting, the sensors being inserted into the recesses and the circuit being inserted into the cavity.

  • Patent number: 10330503
    Abstract: A measurement device can be attached to an outer wall of a movable object or of a stationary object arranged in a flow of air in order to measure physical quantities. The measurement device includes a mounting which has recesses having an opening leading to the outside in which sensors are provided. All of said openings of said recesses are covered by a single film. The film thus makes it possible to offer a surface which is as smooth as possible, having very low roughness with no unevenness. It also makes it possible to ensure the tightness of the sensors as well as the air insulation between all the sensors of the mounting.

  • Patent number: 10136531
    Abstract: A measurement device can be attached to an outer wall of a movable object or of a stationary object arranged in a flow of air in order to measure physical quantities. The measurement device includes a mounting which has recesses having an opening leading to the outside in which sensors are provided. The mounting comprises a cavity in which a flexible printed circuit is housed, on which a single circuit for controlling the sensors is provided. The device has multiple advantages, in particular that of providing a simple measurement device which offers a system for control and interconnection of sensors that is accessible and less complex while offering numerous advantages.
