Filed:

Dec 1, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/291709

Inventors:

David Blanding - Hawthorne CA, US
James Peck - Huntington Beach CA, US

International Classification:

H02P 7/00
H02K 7/06
H01L 41/04
H02K 7/10

US Classification:

318116000, 318432000, 310080000

Abstract:

An electromechanical actuator (EMA) is provided. The EMA includes a threaded output ram connectable to a mechanical component and at least one motor module engageable with the output ram for controllably translating the output ram along a linear axis of the output ram. The actuator further includes a torque sensing adaptive control (TSAC) system for monitoring torque within the motor module. The TSAC generates a disengagement command signal when the TSAC system determines torque within the motor module is outside an allowable motor module torque range. The disengagement command signal initiates disengagement of the motor module from the output ram.

Appl. No.:

13/553267

Inventors:

JAMES L. PECK - Huntington Beach CA, US

International Classification:

H01F 17/00

US Classification:

336175

Abstract:

A linear electromagnetic device, such as an inductor, transformer or the similar device, may include a core in which a magnetic flux is generable. The device may also include an opening through the core. The device may additionally include a primary conductor received in the opening and extending through the core. The primary conductor may include a substantially square or rectangular cross-section. An electrical current flowing through the primary conductor generates a magnetic field about the primary conductor, wherein substantially the entire magnetic field is absorbed by the core to generate the magnetic flux in the core.

Appl. No.:

8/840005

Inventors:

James L. Peck - Huntington Beach CA

Assignee:

Boeing North American, Inc. - Seal Beach CA

International Classification:

G02B 626

US Classification:

385 44

Abstract:

An optical coupler for use in fiber optics for splitting light signals into two or more portions wherein the intensity of the light on the outgoing optical fibers can be accurately controlled. The optical coupler consists of a sending GRIN lens and two or more adjacent receiving GRIN lenses wherein a portion of each receiving GRIN lens has been removed and the receiving GRIN lenses are attached along a common border formed by the removed portion of the GRIN lenses.

Filed:

Apr 24, 1997

Appl. No.:

8/842309

Inventors:

James L. Peck - Huntington Beach CA

Assignee:

Boeing North American, Inc.

International Classification:

G02B 626

US Classification:

385 44

Abstract:

This invention relates to modulating light transmitted in an optic fiber. A passive light modulating device such as a polarizing material, a filter, or an attenuator is placed between two facing collimated ends of GRIN lenses attached to two optic fibers. The passive light modulating device modulates the light in the desired manner as it is transmitted between the two optic fibers. An active light modulating device such as a switch or an amplifier may also be used between the two GRIN lenses to actively modify the transmitted light.
