Abstract:

An agitator for disposition within a cavity of a vessel body containing a particulate includes a weighted portion and a stirring portion. The agitator is positioned and disposed relative to the vessel body to move the stirring portion through the particulate in response to movement of the weighted portion in response to gravitational and/or inertial forces acting on the weighted portion due to movement of the vessel body. Particulate storage vessel arrangements and methods of particulate mixing are also described.

Abstract:

A system for an aircraft that includes a plurality of zones including: a first fiber optic cable routed through a zone of the plurality of zones. The first fiber optic cable is attached to a landing gear of the aircraft in the zone of the plurality of zones; and a first controller configured to provide a first optical signal to the first fiber optic cable and obtain a first optical response signal from the first fiber optic cable. The first controller is further configured to determine at least one temperature within the zone of the plurality of zones based on the first optical response signal, the first optical signal, and coherent optical frequency domain reflectometry (COFDR).

International Classification:

G01L 9/00
G01L 19/00
G01L 19/14

Abstract:

A method for testing a switch in an advance pneumatic detector with a pressure tube includes moving a piston within the pressure tube with a magnet. A pressure of a gas in a portion of the pressure tube is adjusted in response to moving the piston. A state of the switch is monitored.

International Classification:

G01L 9/00
G01L 19/00
G01L 19/14

Abstract:

An advance pneumatic detector to indicate pressure changes in an environment includes a switch, a pressure tube, an endcap, a piston, and a magnet. The pressure tube is connected to the switch. The endcap is disposed on an end of the pressure tube opposite from the switch. The piston is disposed within and forms a seal against the pressure tube. The piston is slidably engaged with the pressure tube. The magnet is slidably attached to and surrounds a portion of the pressure tube. The magnet is configured to control the positioning of the piston within the pressure tube.

International Classification:

G08B 17/04

Abstract:

A pneumatic sensing apparatus for use in an overheat or fire alarm system includes a sensor tube containing a pressurized gas in communication with a pressure sensor configured to sense a temperature variation based on changes of the pressurized gas. A pressure switch is coupled to the pressure sensor. The pressure switch includes a signal transducer configured to provide an output indicative of an overheat or fire alarm condition.

International Classification:

G01M 3/00

Abstract:

A linear-thermal-sensor testing system has a signal generator and a reflection analyzer. The signal generator generates a series of damped sinusoidal impulse signals each of a different frequency, and transmits the damped sinusoidal impulse signals to a first end of the linear thermal sensor. The linear thermal sensor generates a reflection signal corresponding to each of series the damped sinusoidal impulse signals at a plurality of electrical discontinuities in the linear thermal sensing array. The reflection analyzer receives a reflection signal from the first end of the linear thermal sensor. The reflection signal has indicia of electrical properties and locations within the linear thermal sensor for each of the plurality of electrical discontinuities. The reflection analyzer calculates the electrical properties and the locations within the linear thermal sensor based on the indicia of the received reflection signal.
