Filed:

Jan 12, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/759890

Inventors:

John Mayer - Wilsonville OR
James E. Vant Slot - Seattle WA
Daniel Rawlings - Issaquah WA

Assignee:

Ingersoll-Rand Company - Bridgeton MO

International Classification:

G06F 1132

US Classification:

702188, 702182, 702132, 62129

Abstract:

A system for monitoring conditions relating to the status of items such as perishable food products stored in enclosed spaces has a number of sensors mounted in the spaces. Tables maintained by the system hold a description of the spaces to be monitored and the location and identity of the sensors within each space. The values detected by each sensor are periodically recorded and tested against benchmark values established for the stored items adjacent to the sensor. Values outside of the benchmark values create an alarm condition, and a set of alarm messages are displayed on a display unit. The alarm messages include suggested corrective actions. The user has the opportunity to signal to the system the corrective actions taken, and the system stores a record of these corrective actions in association with the corrective actions and the alarm condition.

Assignee:

The Boeing Company - Seattle WA

International Classification:

B64C 2526

US Classification:

244102R

Abstract:

A shaped support beam is joined to and extends laterally across a landing gear door to provide support and to hold a retracted airplane landing gear in position when the landing gear door is closed. Pivotable linkage, extending between airplane structure and the shaped support beam, press against the landing gear to hold the gear in the retracted position with the door latched, and to be pressed against to move an unlatched door aside to permit extension of the landing gear into operating position.

International Classification:

F16H 3706

US Classification:

74674

Abstract:

A failsafe rotary actuator having irreversible dual load paths between input and output members thereof is comprised of an input shaft journalled for rotation within a housing for the actuator, first and second sun gears secured in spaced relationship along and to the input shaft for rotation therewith, planet gears disposed for orbital rotation with and circulation about the sun gears, first and second fixed ring gears disposed for independent engagement with the planet gears, and first and second output gears disposed for independent driving contact with the planet gears; wherein a first load path is established between the first sun gear and the first output gear across the planet gears in cooperative engagement thereof with the first fixed ring gear, and a second load path is established between the second sun gear and the second output gear across the planet gears and cooperative engagement thereof with the second fixed ring gear.
