Patent number: 10612723Abstract: A method of operating an inflation system is provided. The method includes recognizing that the inflation system is activated or actuated by a user, supplying current to an electromagnet of a solenoid valve of the inflation system such that an armature-valve element of the solenoid valve is moved to an open position, wherein movement of the armature valve element to the open position actuates an actuator housing that in turn causes a normally-closed valve element of a valve housing of the inflation system to open, and ceasing current supply to the electromagnet once the actuator housing is actuated.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2017Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: GOODRICH CORPORATIONInventors: Poly Puthur John, Ashish Kumar Agarwal, Jeevanandham Masilamani
