  • Patent number: 12311911
    Abstract: The disclosure is generally directed to systems and methods for controlling electrical power outlets in a vehicle. An example method executed by a processor of an electrical power outlet controller includes detecting a transitioning of a vehicle to a drive mode and further includes disconnecting, based on the transitioning, electrical power supplied to a first electrical power outlet in the vehicle. The transitioning of the vehicle to the drive mode may be detected based on a transition of a drive selector of the vehicle from a park position to a drive position. In another example method, the processor, detects the vehicle in motion and disconnects electrical power supplied to a second electrical power outlet in the vehicle. The first electrical power outlet and/or the second electrical power outlet are accessible from outside the vehicle, and may, for example, be located outside a cabin area of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 12264717
    Abstract: Stator clips may be disposed in the recesses of aircraft brake stator disks to increase the lug strength of the stator disk. The clips may interface with the splines of a torque plate and may comprise ridges that reduce contact between the torque plate barrel and the clip, while maintaining the overall integrity of the clip structure. Furthermore, reduced contact may enable a reduction in drag, improving brake performance.
