Patent ID: 7644739

Claim:
A pressurized actuator system for independently deploying a plurality of inflatable structures, the system comprising: a plurality of primary sources of pressurized fluid adapted for deploying a plurality of inflatable structures; a plurality of primary valves, each primary valve being operatively associated with one of the primary sources; a plurality of pressure-responsive primary transducers, each primary transducer being operative to open one of the primary valves; and a secondary source of pressurized fluid adapted for independently operating the primary transducers to thereby open the primary valves and independently deploy the plurality of inflatable structures; and a control assembly for controlling a flow of pressurized fluid from said secondary source of pressurized fluid to said at least one predetermined pressure-responsive primary transducer, so that said predetermined primary transducer is operated independently from said other primary transducers to assure independent deployment of the primary and secondary inflatable structures.
