Title: Aircraft seat assembly including a vibration mitigating apparatus and method for fabricating the same
Inventor: MICHAEL KNIGHT
IPC: B64D11/06
Filed: 2019-11-13
Abstract: An aircraft seat assembly 210 has a seat structure 16 supporting a seat cushion 20,22 and a vibration mitigating apparatus 28,30 coupled to the seat structure to reduce or prevent vibrations transferring to the occupant 11. There may be two mitigating apparatus coupled adjacent to or within a seat backrest 26 or base 24 respectively. Preferably, a sensor (fig.12,82) near the seat detects the frequency and amplitude of aircraft vibrations to produce an input signal for a controller (fig.12,80), which generates a command signal instructing the vibration mitigating apparatus to produce destructive interference vibrations that are out of phase with the aircraft vibrations. The vibrations may be transmitted from the aircraft to the seat at about a frequency of 1-15 Hz, with an amplitude of about 0.005-1 inch. The vibration mitigation apparatus may be directly or indirectly coupled to the seat structure and a seat track, and may be a vibration isolator; an actuator of the following types: electromechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, linear, shaker (fig.10,78); or an audio speaker (fig.11,76).

IPC: H02M7/537
Filed: 2021-05-05
Abstract: A power inverter 10 comprises a first and a second input terminal 11, 12 and a first output terminal 13. A first MOSFET 14 couples the first input terminal to an inverter node 16 and a second MOSFET 15 couples the second input terminal to the inverter node.

A current sensor 26 provides a sensor signal SIC that is a function of an inductor current IL and comparator arrangement 27 compares the sensor signal with a first limit value L1. If the sensor signal rises above the first limit value, control arrangement 28 switches the first MOSFET from a conducting state to a non-conducting state and the second MOSFET from a non-conducting state to a conducting state. The arrangement prevents a temperature rise of the MOSFETs due to current flowing through the body diode in the event of a short circuit. The power inveȩrter may be used in an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
