US Patent:

8337625, Dec 25, 2012

Filed:

May 12, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/800350

Inventors:

Patrick C. Gehm - Houston TX, US
Michael Knight - New Port Richey FL, US

Assignee:

Renaelc, LLC - Houston TX

International Classification:

A47L 11/00

US Classification:

134 6, 134 42, 15 491, 15 501, 15 881, 1523608

Abstract:

An escalator step cleaner for cleaning escalator steps having a plurality of parallel tread ridges separated by tread grooves has a cleaning pad assembly configured to extend generally perpendicular to the direction of motion of the escalator steps and clean the escalator steps while the escalator is in motion. The cleaning pad assembly has a rigid upper plate and a flexible disposable bottom pad having a cleaning contact surface. The contact surface carries a plurality of spaced parallel pad ridges separated by pad grooves that matingly engage between the tread ridges of the escalator steps and cause dislodgement of the accumulated debris. The cleaning pad assembly can be secured on a hand-held cleaning tool or on a motorized cleaning tool with rotating brushes and a vacuum.

Filed:

Oct 27, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/283398

Inventors:

Michael Knight - Savannah GA, US

Assignee:

GULFSTREAM AEROSPACE CORPORATION - Savannah GA

International Classification:

G08G 5/04
G08G 9/02
B60T 7/12

US Classification:

701 3, 701 70

Abstract:

The disclosed embodiments relate to methods and systems for avoiding a collision between an obstacle and a vehicle, such as an aircraft, on a ground surface. A processor receives a detection signal from one of a plurality of proximity sensors. The detection signal indicates that the obstacle has been detected. In response to receiving the detection signal, a video image signal is transmitted from the processor to a display in the cockpit of the aircraft. The video image signal corresponds to a particular video imager that is associated with the particular proximity sensor that detected the obstacle. A video image, of a particular region around the aircraft that includes the obstacle is displayed on a display. In response to receiving the detection signal, the processor can also transmit an alert signal, and a brake activation signal to activate a braking system to prevent the aircraft from colliding with the obstacle.

International Classification:

G08G 5/06
G08G 5/02
B64D 43/02
B64F 5/60
B64F 5/40

Abstract:

An aircraft includes an engine, a thrust reverser, landing gear, a brake system, a pilot input device, and a control system. The engine is configured to generate thrust directed to move the aircraft in a forward direction. The landing gear includes wheels. The brake system is configured to generate a braking force on the wheels. The pilot input device is positioned for use by a pilot of the aircraft. The control system is programmed to: determine whether the taxi operations are allowed; receive a request to achieve and hold a taxi speed at a desired taxi speed from the pilot input device; and command the engine, the thrust reverser, and the brake system to achieve and maintain the desired taxi speed in response to receiving the request to hold taxi speed only when the taxi operations are allowed.

B64D 11/06
B60N 2/90
A61H 23/02
H04R 1/02

Abstract:

An aircraft seat assembly for supporting a seat occupant, and a method for fabricating an aircraft seat assembly for supporting a seat occupant are provided. In one non-limiting example, the aircraft seat assembly includes a seat cushion supported by the seat structure. A vibration producing apparatus configured to produce vibrations conducive for inducing drowsiness. The vibration producing apparatus is disposed adjacent to or within the seat structure for transferring the vibrations to the seat occupant.

International Classification:

B64D 11/06

Abstract:

An aircraft seat assembly for supporting a seat occupant, and a method for fabricating an aircraft seat assembly for supporting a seat occupant are provided. In one non-limiting example, the aircraft seat assembly includes a seat structure and a seat cushion that is supported by the seat structure. A vibration mitigating apparatus is operatively coupled to the seat structure to prevent or reduce vibrations from transferring to the seat occupant.

International Classification:

F01D 17/14
B64D 33/04
F01D 17/08
F02K 1/04

Abstract:

A propulsion system for an aircraft includes (1) an engine configured to generate a mass flow, (2) a nozzle having a pathway having a throat and a trailing edge, one of the throat and the trailing edge configured to enlarge and contract, (3) a heat source disposed in the nozzle, (4) a first pressure sensor to sense the static pressure of the mass flow at the nozzle exit, (5) a second pressure sensor to sense the ambient pressure proximate the aircraft, and a (6) controller. The controller is coupled with the first and second pressure sensors, the heat source, and the throat or the trailing edge (whichever is configured to enlarge and contract). The controller receives the static and ambient pressures and when there is a disparity, the controller controls at least one of the heat source, the throat, and the trailing edge in a manner that reduces the disparity.
