  • Publication number: 20250100533
    Abstract: A brake control system includes a servo valve and a brake control unit in electronic communication with the servo valve. The servo valve is configured to receive a hydraulic fluid and provide the hydraulic fluid to apply braking force to a wheel via a hydraulic line. The brake control unit is configured to calibrate the servo valve and determine whether a calibration of the servo valve was successful. In response to the calibration of the servo valve being successful, the brake control unit can operate the servo valve in an open-loop system. In response to the calibration of the servo valve being unsuccessful, the brake control unit can operate the servo valve in a closed-loop system.

  • Patent number: 12194974
    Abstract: A brake control system of the present disclosure calibrates a servo valve and calculates a calibrated transfer function associated with the servo valve for precise braking in open-loop mode. The calibration steps may include determining i) whether an aircraft is on a ground surface, ii) whether the aircraft is not moving relative to the ground surface, and iii) whether braking is applied to a brake system of the aircraft. The brake control unit may calibrate the servo valve in response to the brake control unit determining that i) the aircraft is on the ground surface, ii) the aircraft is not moving relative to the ground surface, and iii) the braking is not applied to the brake system of the aircraft. The calibration process includes sending two or more test currents to the servo valve, and determining braking pressures associated with those test currents to calculate the transfer function.

  • Publication number: 20240125754
    Abstract: An automated wetstock management system can include a plurality of sensors disposed in a fuel storage facility, the plurality of sensors configured to sense fuel data characterizing one or more aspects of the fuel storage facility, and a wetstock management server communicatively coupled to the plurality of sensors. The wetstock management server can process the fuel data to detect whether the fuel data satisfies an exception indicative of an operational issue of the fuel storage facility based on one or more predefined rules or models stored in the wetstock management server. In some embodiments, the wetstock management server can generate a workflow for assisting a user of the fuel storage facility to resolve the operational issue. In some embodiments, the wetstock management server can assign a risk category to the exception and electronically transmit an alert characterizing the operational issue to the user.

  • Patent number: 9695491
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a beneficiation process for low grade uranium ore, wherein the process comprises a primary beneficiation stage comprising: wet scrubbing the low grade uranium ore to separate the low grade ore into a fine fraction and a coarse fraction; screening the fine fraction according to a size separation parameter to provide an undersize fraction and an oversize fraction, wherein the uranium predominantly reports to the undersize fraction; and separating the undersize fraction to produce an intermediate uranium concentrate. The intermediate uranium concentrate may be further processed in a secondary beneficiation stage to produce a high grade uranium concentrate.
