US Patent:

7003873, Feb 28, 2006

Filed:

Sep 26, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/672380

Inventors:

Jeffrey N. Schoess - Buffalo MN, US
Mark D. Simons - Rio Rancho NM, US

Assignee:

Honeywell International, Inc. - Morristown NJ

International Classification:

H05K 3/30

US Classification:

29832, 29595, 29825, 29846, 7317002

Abstract:

A method of making a gaseous fluid data sensor assembly for acquiring data regarding the ambient environment adjacent a surface of an airframe with adjacent air speeds below 40 knots (or another aerodynamic structure with low speed gaseous fluid flow adjacent thereto) having a flexible substrate adhesively conforming to the airframe surface, a conformable cover layer and a relatively thin air data sensor for sensing air pressure between the substrate and the cover layer. The method includes forming a flexible printed circuit on a polymeric film, attaching thin air data sensor to the printed circuit and attaching a flexible substrate to form a conformal air data sensor. The method may also include attaching a data acquisition circuit to the printed circuit and may still further include providing an optical interconnection between the air data sensor and the data acquisition circuit.

Abstract:

A gaseous fluid data sensor assembly for acquiring data regarding the ambient environment adjacent a surface of an airframe with adjacent air speeds below 40 knots (or another aerodynamic structure with low speed gaseous fluid flow adjacent thereto) having a flexible substrate adhesively conforming to the airframe surface, a conformable cover layer and a relatively thin air data sensor for sensing air pressure between the substrate and the cover layer. The assembly also includes a fiber optic communication link, a battery, a data acquisition subsystem, and a flexible printed circuit, all between the substrate and the cover layer. The cover layer is formed of a polymer film.

International Classification:

G06F 7/00

US Classification:

701 32

Abstract:

A health monitoring system is provided for a vehicle configured to travel over a surface with a velocity. The system includes a body configured to stimulate a dynamic response from the vehicle as the vehicle travels over the body; a response sensor associated with the body and configured to measure the dynamic response from the vehicle; an identification sensor associated with the body and configured to collect data corresponding to the identity of the vehicle; a velocity sensor associated with the body and configured to determine the velocity of the vehicle; and a processing unit associated with the body and configured to evaluate the health of the vehicle based on the dynamic response, the identity, and the velocity.
