  • Patent number: 10035583
    Abstract: Rotorcraft controls and rotorcraft including such rotorcraft controls. An example apparatus includes a collective control column for an aircraft includes a rotational interface rotatable in a first direction to provide a first input and a second direction opposite the first direction to provide a second input; a memory to store instructions; and a processor responsive to the first input to execute the instructions to cause the aircraft to perform operations associated with flying the aircraft, the processor responsive to the second input to execute the instructions to cause the aircraft to perform operations associated with idling the aircraft.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6508597
    Abstract: A method and processor for processing photosensitive media. The processor includes a narrow processing channel for holding a processing solution, at least one delivery opening for delivering the processing solution to the narrow processing channel, an outlet for allowing processing solution to be withdrawn from the narrow processing channel, and a recirculation system for delivering and circulating a predetermined batch amount of the processing solution through the narrow processing channel from the outlet to the at least one narrow delivery opening for processing a predetermined amount of photosensitive media passing through the narrow processing solution. The batch amount of processing solution only when media is provided in the processing channel. The processor also included an emptying system for removing the processing solution from the narrow processing channel and the recirculation system when the photosensitive media is not being processed through the narrow processing channel.
