Automatic Aircraft Engine Fuel Mixture Optimization

US Patent:
6317680, Nov 13, 2001
Filed:
Mar 15, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/268181
Inventors:
Jabe R. Luttrell - Burlington CT
Stephen Smith - Simsbury CT
Stephen Santoro - Windsor Locks CT
Assignee:
Aerosance, Inc. - Farmington CT
International Classification:
F02D 4304
US Classification:
701104
Abstract:
A computer-assisted method for controlling the delivery of fuel to an engine. The method includes receiving an input signal indicative of a sensed speed of the engine, validating that the engine is in a cruise power mode based on the input signal, and providing an output signal based on a sensed engine operating condition for adaptively controlling the fuel delivery to the engine when the engine is operating in the cruise power mode. Also, a fuel control module. The fuel control module includes a first portion configured for receiving an input signal indicative of a sensed speed of an engine, a second portion configured for validating that the engine is operating in a cruise power mode based on the input signal, and a third portion configured for providing an output signal based on a sensed engine operating condition for controlling fuel delivery to the engine when the engine is operating in the cruise power mode.

Mounting A Cathode Ray Tube For A Heads-Up Display System

US Patent:
4878046, Oct 31, 1989
Filed:
Jul 30, 1987
Appl. No.:
7/079553
Inventors:
Stephen J. Smith - Simsbury CT
Assignee:
United Technologies Corporation - Hartford CT
International Classification:
G02D 2714
US Classification:
340705
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for a helmet mounted display with a cathode ray tube for mounting on the torso of the operator are disclosed. A disconnectable cable supplies an information bearing signal to a signal conditioning circuit for mounting on the torso of the operator and a low voltage signal to a high voltage supply also for mounting on the torso of the operator. The high voltage supply provides the necessary high voltage for the operation of the cathode ray tube. The signal conditioning circuit provides the horizontal and vertical deflection signals and a decoded and amplified information bearing signal to the cathode ray tube. The cathode ray tube converts the information bearing signal into CRT images. A reducer, adjacent to and facing the cathode ray tube display face, reduces these CRT images and presents them to an optical fiber bundle which in turn presents the reduced CRT images to an expander. The expander then enlarges the reduced CRT images into enlarged CRT images and presents the enlarged CRT images to the display optics in the helmet.

Helmet Mounted Display Configured For Simulator Use

US Patent:
4968123, Nov 6, 1990
Filed:
Apr 24, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/342497
Inventors:
Joseph T. Fournier - Glastonbury CT
Stephen J. Smith - Simsbury CT
Harry R. McKinley - Southampton MA
Assignee:
United Technologies Corporation - Hartford CT
International Classification:
G02B 2300, G02B 2714
US Classification:
350538
Abstract:
Helmut mounted display apparatus configured for simulator use includes a pair of visual image sources and a pair of optics arrangements, including relay optic and eyepiece portions thereof, that optically present the image source images into the wearer's forward visual field, a first eyepiece type optimized for daytime luminance conditions, a second type optimized for nighttime luminance conditions, a single eyepiece being releasably engageable to and rotatable about the corresponding relay optic portion, wheeby said eyepiece rotation allows a varying binocular field of view to be displayed to the wearer.

Direct Incorporation Of Night Vision In A Helmet Mounted Display

US Patent:
4961626, Oct 9, 1990
Filed:
Feb 21, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/313686
Inventors:
Joseph T. Fournier - Glastonbury CT
Stephen J. Smith - Simsbury CT
Harry R. McKinley - Southampton MA
William E. McLean - Aberdeen MD
Assignee:
United Techologies Corporation - Hartford CT
International Classification:
G02B 2714, G02B 2312
US Classification:
350174
Abstract:
Helmet mounted display apparatus for use in aircraft and rotorcraft includes an first image source for generating images comprising pilotage symbol information, a second image source for sensing and generating images of the exterior scene, and relay optical components that optically superimpose the two images together and subsequently project the superimposed image into the observer's forward field of view.

Helmet Mounted Display Having Dual Interchangeable Optical Eyepieces

US Patent:
4969714, Nov 13, 1990
Filed:
Feb 21, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/313685
Inventors:
Joseph T. Fournier - Glastonbury CT
Stephen J. Smith - Simsbury CT
Harvey A. Smith - Hampden MA
Harry R. McKinley - Southhampton MA
William E. McLean - Aberdeen MD
Assignee:
United Technologies Corporation - Hartford CT
International Classification:
G02B 2714, G02B 2312
US Classification:
353174
Abstract:
Helmet mounted display apparatus for use in aircraft and rotorcraft includes an image source for generating images that are projected into the pilot's forward field of view by a portion of relay optics that are common to both day and night viewing and interchangeable optical eyepieces, one for daytime viewing and one for nighttime viewing.
