Publication number: 20230194686Abstract: A sensor in an aircraft cargo handling system may comprise a housing, an infrared light emitter, an infrared light photoreceptor, and a microprism. The sensor may be configured to detect an object in proximity to the sensor using electromagnetic waves and voltage measurements. The sensor may include a microcontroller configured to read the voltage measurements associated with infrared electromagnetic waves, compare the voltage measurements to a threshold voltage, and determine the functional condition of the sensor based on the comparison.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2022Publication date: June 22, 2023Applicant: GOODRICH CORPORATIONInventors: RAJKUMAR SENGODAN, THIRUNAVUKKARASU RAMALINGAM

Publication number: 20220035012Abstract: An infra-red sensor assembly may comprise a substrate and an infra-red transmitter electrically coupled to the substrate. An infra-red receiver may be electrically coupled to the substrate. A testing infra-red transmitter may be electrically coupled to the substrate. An infra-red transmission channel may optically couple the testing infra-red transmitter and the infra-red receiver.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2020Publication date: February 3, 2022Applicant: Goodrich CorporationInventors: Rajkumar Sengodan, Thirunavukkarasu Ramalingam

Patent number: 11072424Abstract: An intelligent restraint system architecture for aircraft cargo is provided. The intelligent restraint system architecture includes restraints arrayed along a cargo deck and local restraint control panels (RCPs). Each restraint is configured to normally assume a retracted condition at which cargo movement proximate to the restraint is permitted and to selectively assume an erected condition at which cargo movement proximate to the restraint is inhibited by the restraint. The local RCPs are respectively coupled to proximal restraints. Each local RCP is receptive of a signal indicative of a cargo movement status and is configured to automatically control each of the proximal restraints to selectively assume the erected condition or to re-assume the retracted condition in accordance with the signal being received and content thereof.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2018Date of Patent: July 27, 2021Assignee: GOODRICH CORPORATIONInventors: Ravi Murthy, Thirunavukkarasu Ramalingam

Patent number: 10173841Abstract: A prognostic power drive unit of a cargo handling system includes a motor operable to drive a conveyor system of the cargo handling system. One or more drive system sensors are operable to collect data related to the motor. One or more environmental sensors are operable to collect data related to one or more environmental conditions of the prognostic power drive unit. One or more load detection sensors are operable to detect data related to the conveyor system. The prognostic power drive unit also includes a controller operable to control the motor and determine a health status of the cargo handling system based on at least one of: the one or more drive system sensors, the one or more environmental sensors, and the one or more load detection sensors.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2018Date of Patent: January 8, 2019Assignee: GOODRICH CORPORATIONInventors: Thirunavukkarasu Ramalingam, Ravi Murthy, Manikandan Mahalingam
