Filed: 2020-07-15
Abstract: A system and method for testing an aircraft landing gear for cross-connection between braking systems. The landing gear comprises first and second wheels with associated first and second braking systems. Each braking system comprises a tachometer configured to generate a tachometer signal indicating rotation of the wheel it is mounted to. There are also first and second tachometer output lines and first and second braking command lines associated with the output lines. The method comprises: a) generating a test signal with one of the tachometers 69, while the respective wheel is not rotating; b) receiving the test signal via one of the tachometer output lines 70; c) issuing a braking command via the braking command line associated with the tachometer output line; and d) monitoring a response of the braking system(s) to the command to test for a cross-connection between the braking systems (e.g. steps 71-81). Also claimed is a method of generating a test signal by decoupling a tachometer rotor from a wheel and the rotating the rotor without rotating the wheel (see figures 10-11), and an aircraft landing gear including a floating connection between the tachometer rotor and the wheel (see figures 12-14).

IPC: G06Q20/40
Filed: 2021-12-20
Abstract: An internal flow determination method wherein a classical computer receives an input flow vector with entries being indicative of a monetary amount entering a processing node. An output flow vector is received by a classical computer with entries being indicative of a monetary amount exiting the node and the computer determining an objective optimisation problem subject to constraints wherein the objective of the problem is to determine input and output flow matrices. The computer determines a quadratic unconstrained binary optimisation (QUBO) formulation suitable for implementing the optimisation problem which is solved by a quantum computer to provide a solution representative of the matrices such that the classical computer can generate a probability matrix indicative of a probability that an internal flow of the node connects an input entry to an output entry. The probability matrix may be obtained by multiplying the input internal flow matric by a transpose of the output internal flow matrix. The probability matrix may be an m by n matrix having entries indicative of a flow probability between an input and output fund, wherein m is a vector length of the output flow vector and n is a vector length of the input flow vector.

Title: Reducing magnetic hysteresis of a position sensor assembly
Inventor: ROBERT WILLIAM GISSLER
IPC: E21B47/09
Filed: 2019-11-05
Abstract: This disclosure presents an apparatus to improve the indication of an amount that a fluid valve is opened. The fluid control assembly includes an improved position sensor assembly (PSA), where the PSA uses rollers rather than sliding within the PSA housing. The rollers, which can be wheels, ball bearings, and other types of rolling devices, can reduce the friction experienced by the moving component within the PSA. Since the PSA mechanism can move with less friction, the coupled valve magnetic assembly (VMA) can also be enhanced. The VMA can utilize magnets in orientations that enhance the magnetic tensile and compressive forces. For example, some magnets in the VMA can be in a perpendicular orientation to improve directional control and some magnets can be in an angled orientation to reduce the spread of the magnetic field flux lines between the magnets of the VMA and the magnets of the PSA.
