Abstract: An avionics unit assembly for an aircraft can include an avionics unit (e.g., an underwater locator device, “ULD”), and a battery to power the avionics unit. The avionics unit assembly can further include a housing that encases the avionics unit and the battery. The housing includes a vent port for exhausting an emission from the housing during a failure of the avionics unit. The avionics unit assembly can further include one or more of a suppressor that filters the emission, a shield element that is resistant to chemical and/or thermal effects of the emission, and a bracket for mounting the avionics unit to a surface. A method integrating the avionics unit assembly onto a forward aircraft bulkhead at a mount location under an aircraft radome and for manufacturing the avionics unit, and an aircraft including the avionics unit are also described.

Abstract: A cup holder insert includes a console and cup holder cover having a pair of cup holder depressions, ridges about the periphery of the insert and raised edges about the periphery of each cup holder. Each device is designed to snap fit over and about a given motor vehicle's console and cup holders.

Abstract: A fluid disinfection module (10) comprises a first housing (12) and a second housing (20) arranged in spaced-apart relationship to each other. The first housing (12) includes tubular support members (28) and (28a) extending laterally therefrom for respective slidable mateable engagement with corresponding tubular support members (30) and (30a) also laterally extending from second housing (20), to vary the lateral distance x between the first and second housings (12) and (20). A locking device maintains tubular support members (28,28a) and (30,30a) in fixed relationship with respect to each other. First housing (12), second housing (20), and corresponding tubular support members (28,28a) and (30,30a) define a framework for supporting one or more ultraviolet radiation sources (18) and (26) that are detachably mounted at one end thereof to housings (12) and (20), respectively.

Abstract: An air disinfection module for use in a HVAC system comprises a first and second housing, each of the housings including at least one support member adjustably coupled with the other to form a framework for varying the lateral distance between the first and second housings. The housings further comprise a lamp assembly that includes at least one ultraviolet radiation source communicating with and projecting from its respective housing towards its opposite housing, and a radiation pervious protective sleeve disposed about the radiation source. Electric transmission means are also included which communicates with the ultraviolet radiation source(s) and with at least one source of electrical power to provide electricity to the ultraviolet radiation sources. At least one cross support member communicating with the protective sleeves and the support members is provided for supporting the sleeves and their corresponding ultraviolet radiation sources between the first and second housings.

Abstract: Radiation module (10) comprises a power disruption apparatus (11) for a radiation lamp (14) to disinfect a fluid passing through a conduit (12). Radiation lamp (14) includes lamp base (15) that supports lamp tubing (14a) at one end thereof, terminal pins (17,17a) and flange (28) disposed about lamp base (15). Power disruption apparatus (11) includes mounting plate (16) provided with opening (27) for registry with opening (25) in duct (12). Openings (25,27) are sized to receive lamp tubing (14a) therethrough. Flange (28) interfaces with mounting plate (16) to restrict axial movement of lamp base (15) into duct (12). Module (10) also includes compression nut (22) for detachably securing lamp base (15) to mounting plate (16), and electrical socket (20) for receiving terminal pins (17,17a).

Abstract: An UV light system (10) for treating the air includes an UV tube lamp (20) having a first section (42) for transmitting UV light in a wavelength range thaht includes maximum ozone production and maximum germicidal activity, and a second section (44) for transmitting UV light in a wavelength range thaht includes maximum germical activity while excluding the production of ozone; and a movable annualar sleeve (46) for controlling the amount of ozone transmitted by the lamp (20).
