Patents by Inventor Philippe Pons

Philippe Pons has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9888608
    Abstract: An electronics structure includes at least one barrier impermeable to fine particles, interposed between at least one Electrical and/or Electronics (“E & E”) system and the frame of the structure. The barrier delimits, with the frame and the E & E system, a first area isolated from the outside of the electronics structure. The structure makes it possible to isolate sensitive electrical and electronic components from fine particles such as dust dispersed outside the electronics structure.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: February 6, 2018
    Assignee: Airbus Operations SAS
    Inventors: Philippe Pons, Pierre Salles
  • Patent number: 9736963
    Abstract: A cold plate for cooling heat-generating components, includes two plates extending parallel to each other. A core is sandwiched between the two plates to form a sandwich structure, the core including a set of passages for passing a cooling fluid from a first edge to an opposite second edge of the sandwich structure. First and second fluid-tight joining members are disposed respectively on the first and second opposite edges of the sandwich structure, the first fluid-tight joining member including at least one inlet connector and the second fluid-tight joining member including at least one outlet connector for the passage of the cooling fluid. A method for use of the cold plate in particular as a structural part of an avionics equipment item is also provided.

  • Patent number: 8356273
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method and devices for analyzing the feasibility of a computer system composed of subsystems, each having functions. After having determined the functional architecture of the computer system comprising at least one subsystem and at least one function, the characteristics of the functions implemented are imported from a database. The user determines the number of subsystems and the number of connectors per subsystem. He then distributes the functions to the subsystems and enters the characteristics of the connectors and the characteristics of the subsystems. The computer system is analyzed in light of the information provided by the user and the characteristics of the functions implemented in order to determine the feasibility of the computer system.

  • Patent number: 7136714
    Abstract: Procedure for determining modifications made to an electronic card and methods of fabricating an electronic card and an item of equipment provided with an electronic card. According to the invention, a first diagram (S1) illustrating the electronic card, which includes the electronic components (CE1, CE2, CE3), ports (P1, P2), supply elements (A1) and connection means (L1 to L7) at a first moment is determined, a second diagram illustrating the electronic card at a second moment is determined, a class relating to a change is assigned to each entity in said diagrams, a visual identification attribute is associated with each entity, which is representative of its class, two images corresponding to the first and second diagrams are constructed with the visual identification attributes being displayed, and said images are compared in order to deduce therefrom the modifications made to the electronic card between the first and second moments.
