6191519, Feb 20, 2001

Filed:

Aug 30, 1995

Appl. No.:

8/521562

Inventors:

Theodore W. Nye - Redondo Beach CA
Allen J. Bronowicki - Laguna Niguel CA
George R. Dvorsky - Manhattan Beach CA
Richard E. Wyse - Rancho Palos Verdes CA

Assignee:

TRW Inc. - Redondo Beach CA

International Classification:

H01L 41053
H01L 41107

US Classification:

31031601

Abstract:

Modular control patches including assemblies of sensors and actuators are provided to impart or control vibration of foundation members such as struts in aerospace apparatus. Local analog electronic control means is associated with each control patch assembly. Patches are attached mechanically or by chemical bonding to the outside of the struts. The corresponding electronics can be selectively removed and replaced. The patch being the sensors and actuators may also be attached or embedded with a composite structure.

International Classification:

H01L 4108

US Classification:

310328

Abstract:

Modular control patches including assemblies of sensors and actuators are provided to impart or control vibration of foundation members such as struts in aerospace apparatus. Local digital electronic control means is associated with each control patch assembly. Programmable digital compensators in the control permits operation of the patches to be remotely varied. Patches are attached mechanically or by chemical bonding to the outside of the struts so that the electronics can be selectively removed and replaced. The patch being the sensors and actuators may also be attached or embedded with a composite structure.
