Jun 29, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/771489
Inventors:
James H. Mabe - Seattle WA, US
Frederick T. Calkins - Renton WA, US
Glenn S. Bushnell - Puyallup WA, US
Stefan R. Bieniawski - Seattle WA, US
Assignee:
The Boeing Company - Chicago IL
International Classification:
B64C 3/58
US Classification:
244213, 244214, 244215, 244 998
Abstract:
Aircraft systems with shape memory alloy (SMA) actuators, and associated methods are disclosed. A system in accordance with one embodiment includes an airfoil, a deployable device coupled to the airfoil, and a shape memory alloy actuator coupled between the airfoil and the deployable device. In one embodiment, the deployable device can be coupled to the airfoil with a hinge having a hinge load path supporting the deployable device relative to the airfoil, and the actuator can be movable along a motion path different than the hinge load path between a first position with the deployable device deployed relative to the airfoil, and a second position with the deployable device stowed relative to the airfoil. In another embodiment, an activatable link can be positioned between the actuator and the deployable device, and can have an engaged configuration in which motion of the actuator is transmitted to the deployable device, and a disengaged configuration in which motion of the actuator is not transmitted to the deployable device.

US Classification:
342 42, 342146, 342149, 370310, 375211
Abstract:
In accordance with one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, systems and methods disclosed herein provide for tracking of objects, aircraft, vehicles, and ground equipment in a tracking area, such as an airspace and/or an airport terminal area. One embodiment of a tracking system of the present disclosure comprises a signal monitoring component adapted to communicate with an object, such as an aircraft, when the object enters the tracking area. The signal monitoring component is adapted to transmit a monopulse beacon query signal to the object and receive a monopulse beacon response signal from the object. The tracking system further comprises an interface component adapted to process the received monopulse beacon response signal from the object, initialize a beacon transponder on the object, and assign a network address to the object.

Deployable Aerodynamic Devices With Reduced Actuator Loads, And Related Systems And Methods

US Patent:
7954769, Jun 7, 2011
Filed:
Dec 10, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/953672
Inventors:
Glenn S. Bushnell - Puyallup WA, US
Assignee:
The Boeing Company - Chicago IL
International Classification:
B64C 3/58
B64C 9/00
US Classification:
244213, 244217, 244204
Abstract:
Deployable aerodynamic devices with reduced actuator loads, and related systems and methods are disclosed. An external flow system in accordance with a particular embodiment includes an external flow body, a deployable device carried by and movable relative to the external flow body, and a coupling connected between the external flow body and the deployable device. The system can further include an actuator device operatively coupled between the external flow body and the deployable device, with the actuator device positioned to move the deployable device along a motion path between a stowed position and the deployed position. The motion path can have a first portion over which the load delivered by the actuator device increases as the deployed device moves toward the deployed position, and a second portion over which the load delivered by the actuator device decreases as the deployed device moves toward the deployed position.

US Patent:
8118264, Feb 21, 2012
Filed:
Dec 3, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/960271
Inventors:
James H. Mabe - Seattle WA, US
Frederick T. Calkins - Renton WA, US
Glenn S. Bushnell - Puyallup WA, US
Stefan R. Bieniawski - Seattle WA, US
Assignee:
The Boeing Company - Chicago IL
International Classification:
B64C 9/00
US Classification:
244213, 244214, 244215, 244 998
Abstract:
An aircraft system may include an airfoil and a deployable device coupled to the airfoil. The system may further include a shape memory alloy actuator coupled between the airfoil and the deployable device. The actuator may be movable between a first position with the deployable device deployed relative to the airfoil, and a second position with the deployable device stowed relative to the airfoil. The system may additionally include an activatable link positioned between the actuator and the deployable device. The link may have an engaged configuration in which motion of the actuator is transmitted to the deployable device, and a disengaged configuration in which motion of the actuator is not transmitted to the deployable device.

Vehicle-Based Automatic Traffic Conflict And Collision Avoidance

View page
US Patent:
8380424, Feb 19, 2013
Filed:
Sep 28, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/864335
Inventors:
Glenn S. Bushnell - Puyallup WA, US
Assignee:
The Boeing Company - Chicago IL
International Classification:
G06F 19/00
G06G 7/70
G06G 7/76
US Classification:
701122, 701 3, 701 4, 701 14, 701120, 701466, 340961, 342 29, 342455
Abstract:
Systems and methods for providing vehicle-centric collision avoidance are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes determining a first flight trajectory for a first aircraft. The method also includes determining a second flight trajectory for a second aircraft. A distance between the first aircraft and the second aircraft at a first closest point of approach (CPA) is predicted. The predicted closest point of approach is then compared to a separation perimeter layer. The separation perimeter layer is configured to provide a minimum separation distance from the first aircraft to the second aircraft. When the predicted closest point of approach breaches the separation perimeter, the first flight trajectory is altered to provide collision avoidance.

US Patent:
20120209457, Aug 16, 2012
Filed:
Aug 2, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/196678
Inventors:
Glenn Scott Bushnell - Puyallup WA, US
Assignee:
THE BOEING COMPANY - Chicago IL
International Classification:
G05D 1/10
G05D 1/04
G05D 1/00
G08G 5/00
US Classification:
701 13, 701120, 701 4, 701 21, 701117
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for managing separation between vehicles. A closest point of approach between a first vehicle traveling along a first path and a second vehicle traveling along a second path is predicted. A number of compensation commands for altering the first path of the first vehicle are generated using the closest point of approach and a desired level of separation between the first vehicle and the second vehicle. The number of compensation commands is integrated with a number of control commands for the first vehicle to form a final number of control commands configured to maneuver the first vehicle to substantially maintain the desired level of separation between the first vehicle and the second vehicle. A response of the first vehicle to the final number of control commands is a desired response.

Shape Memory Alloy Active Spars For Blade Twist

US Patent:
20130309089, Nov 21, 2013
Filed:
May 16, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/472695
Inventors:
Casey Lyn Madsen - Normandy Park WA, US
Daniel J. Clingman - Milton WA, US
Glenn S. Bushnell - Puyallup WA, US
International Classification:
F03G 7/06
F01D 7/00
US Classification:
416 1, 60527
Abstract:
A system for changing a shape a structural spar includes, in an exemplary embodiment, a plurality of adjoining structural strips axially aligned to form the structural spar. At least one of the structural strips is formed from a shape memory alloy. The system also includes a temperature control system to control a temperature of the at least one shape memory alloy strip. Heat applied to the at least one shape memory alloy strip causes the structural spar to twist or bend.
