Patent number: 11952144Abstract: An aircraft moveable element monitoring system is provided. An exemplary aircraft moveable element monitoring system includes a signal generator (108), a signal transmitter coil (110) electrically connected to the signal generator (108); a signal detector (112); a signal receiver coil (114) electrically connected to the signal detector (112); and one or more moveable element signal transmission units (115a-c). An exemplary moveable element signal transmission unit (115) includes a first signal transmission unit coil and a second signal transmission unit coil, the first signal transmission unit coil being electrically connected to the second signal transmission unit coil. Each moveable element signal transmission unit is configured to be installed on a respective moveable element of an aircraft. The signal transmitter coil, the one or more moveable element signal transmission units and the signal receiver coil form an inductively coupled transmission line.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2020Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Moog Wolverhampton LimitedInventors: Paul D.

Patent number: 5812985Abstract: An improved system for space management in retail stores is described. The space management system includes price display labels mounted on rails along the edges of shelves in a store. A communications link between the computer and the labels permits the computer to address each label by a logical address and to determine the physical location of each label to within a resolution of typically four feet. The system prepares price audit lists and adjacency audit lists that permit economical use of the time of store personnel during the audit. The lists are generated in such a way that the items on a particular list are physically contiguous; thus once the correct general area has been located by the auditor little additional time need be spent locating the individual items. In performing an audit of product facings, the user is able to use the display hardware, including the pushbutton on each label, as a data collection system for product facing information.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 1993Date of Patent: September 22, 1998Assignee: Electronic Retailing Systems Inc.Inventors: Bruce F. Failing, Anthony P. Fernandez, George T. Briechle, Edward J. Fenwick, J. Robert Venable
