Filed:
Dec 7, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/567773
Inventors:
Zaffir Chaudhry - South Glastonbury CT, US
Andrew John Collins - Weston SuperMare, GB
Ulf J Jonsson - South Windsor CT, US
Fanping Sun - Glastonbury CT, US
Brian E Wake - South Glastonbury CT, US
Michael G O'Callaghan - Manchester CT, US
Jimmy Lin-Min Yeh - West Hartford CT, US
Assignee:
Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation - Stratford CT
International Classification:
F03B 3/12
US Classification:
416 23, 310 80, 310 54, 310 83, 310 90
Abstract:
A self-lubricated actuator for a rotor blade flap of a helicopter having a housing; a motor having a shaft disposed in a bearing is provided. The actuator further has an output rod and a mechanism operatively associated with the motor and the output rod to transmit movement from the motor to the output rod. The housing includes a lubrication medium capable of substantially immersing the bearing, the motor shaft and the mechanism during operation.

Hybrid Actuator For Helicopter Rotor Blade Control Flaps

US Patent:
7762770, Jul 27, 2010
Filed:
Dec 14, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/638980
Inventors:
Fanping Sun - Glastonbury CT, US
Zaffir A. Chaudhry - South Glastonbury CT, US
Jimmy Lih-Min Yeh - West Hartford CT, US
Michael G. O'Callaghan - Manchester CT, US
Ulf J. Jonsson - South Windsor CT, US
Brian E. Wake - South Glastonbury CT, US
Robert H. Dold - Monson MA, US
Assignee:
Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation - Stratford CT
International Classification:
B64C 27/615
US Classification:
416 23
Abstract:
A helicopter rotor blade that has a blade body and a control flap secured to the blade body. The rotor blade has a first primary mover capable of generating a first linear motion that is sufficient to generate a high amplitude, low frequency motion of the control flap; and a second primary mover capable of generating a second linear motion that is sufficient to generate a small amplitude, high frequency motion of the control flap. Further, the rotor blade has a coupling transmission for combining the first linear motion with the second linear motion that generates a cumulative linear motion; and a second transmission device that causes the cumulative linear motion to rotate the control flap.

Pressure Gas Release Valve For Fire Suppression

US Patent:
8020833, Sep 20, 2011
Filed:
Dec 22, 2005
Appl. No.:
12/086961
Inventors:
Fanping Sun - Glastonbury CT, US
Muhidin A. Lelic - Manchester CT, US
Zaffir Chaudhry - South Glastonbury CT, US
Tony George - Cincinnati OH, US
Lyle Hamilton - Cincinnati OH, US
Assignee:
CHUBB International Holding Limited - Sudbury-On-Thames, Middlesex
International Classification:
F16K 21/04
US Classification:
251 28, 251 3001, 251144
Abstract:
A two-step, self-regulating valve () controls gas flow from a gas cylinder () in a high pressure system. The valve () includes a valve body (), a piston (), a plug (), a valve actuator (), and a piston actuator (). The piston () is movable within the valve body () along an axis between a first and a second position. The plug () is movable within the valve body () along the axis between a valve closed position, a partially open position, and a fully open position. The valve actuator () allows the plug () to move from the valve closed position to the partially open position. The piston actuator () causes the piston () to move from the first position to the second position when a gas pressure in the gas cylinder () is less than a setpoint. When the piston () moves to the second position, the piston () allows the plug () to move from the partially open position to the fully open position.

Self-Regulating Valve For Controlling The Gas Flow In High Pressure Systems

US Patent:
8087637, Jan 3, 2012
Filed:
Apr 7, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/918092
Inventors:
Fanping Sun - Glastonbury CT, US
Zaffir Chaudhry - South Glastonbury CT, US
Muhidin A. Lelic - Manchester CT, US
Assignee:
Chubb International Holdings Limited - Sunbury-On-Thames, England
International Classification:
F16K 31/12
US Classification:
251 31, 251 3002, 251144
Abstract:
A controlled pressure release valve controls the gas flow in high-pressure systems. The valve includes a valve body, a slidable spool, a primary flow passage, a first and second chamber, a first and second spring, a first and second passages, and a valve actuator. The valve body has a gas inlet and a gas outlet and houses the slidable spool. The slidable spool has a first end and a second end, and is slidable between a first position and a second position. The primary flow passage connects the gas inlet and the gas outlet and increases with lineal movement of the slidable spool. The first chamber is located adjacent the first end of the slidable spool and a second chamber is located adjacent the second end of the slidable spool. The sliding spool is biased toward the first position by a gas pressure applied by the second chamber and the second spring.

Active Vibration Suppression Via Power Minimization

US Patent:
8538590, Sep 17, 2013
Filed:
Mar 28, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/748426
Inventors:
Fanping Sun - Glastonbury CT, US
Zaffir A. Chaudhry - South Glastonbury CT, US
Assignee:
Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation - Stratford CT
International Classification:
G05B 21/00
US Classification:
700280, 700297
Abstract:
A vibration suppressor system includes a control system operable to control power from a power system to an actuator system in response to a minimal actuation power algorithm. The minimal actuation power algorithm employs a real electric power consumption of the actuator system as a single control objective function to suppress a vibration of the structure.

Semi-Active Electrorheological Fluid Clutch For Electronic Door Lock

US Patent:
8561443, Oct 22, 2013
Filed:
Nov 28, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/998624
Inventors:
Fanping Sun - Glastonbury CT, US
Zaffir A. Chaudhry - South Glastonbury CT, US
John M. Milton-Benoit - West Suffield CT, US
Ulf J. Jonsson - South Windsor CT, US
Assignee:
UTC Fire & Security Corporation - Farmington CT
International Classification:
B60R 25/02
US Classification:
70222, 70277, 702787, 70472
Abstract:
A clutch for an electronic door lock includes a first shaft, a second shaft, a spring, a rheological fluid, and a plunger. The second shaft has an aperture therein and is axially co-aligned with the first shaft and is rotatably mounted adjacent the rotatable first shaft. The spring is disposed in the aperture in the second shaft. The rheological fluid is held within the aperture and is capable of changing viscosities in response to the application of an electrical current across the fluid. The plunger is biased by the spring into selective coupling engagement with the first shaft and is capable of selective motion into the aperture in response to contact by a camming surface of the first shaft due to relative rotation of the first shaft with respect to the second shaft.

Structural Integrity Monitoring System Including Wireless Electromechanical Impedance Measurement

US Patent:
20020190723, Dec 19, 2002
Filed:
Jun 6, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/875597
Inventors:
Fanping Sun - Glastonbury CT, US
Balkrishna Annigeri - Glastonbury CT, US
Howard Winston - Woodbury CT, US
International Classification:
G01R031/08
US Classification:
324/525000
Abstract:
A structural integrity monitoring system includes a piezoelectric sensor that is adapted to be secured to or embedded within an item of interest. A resistive element is placed in series with the piezoelectric sensor. An output from the series combination of the resistive element and the sensor is conditioned and then transmitted wirelessly to a remote location. An interface located at the remote location receives the transmitted signal, determines the content of the signal and provides an output indicative of the structural integrity of the item of interest.

Power Harvesting Sensor For Monitoring And Control

US Patent:
20040150529, Aug 5, 2004
Filed:
Jan 30, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/354579
Inventors:
Jeffrey Benoit - Willington CT, US
Balkrishna Annigeri - Glastonbury CT, US
Richard Card - Woodbury CT, US
Fanping Sun - Glastonbury CT, US
Bhalchandra Tulpule - Farmington CT, US
Howard Winston - Woodbury CT, US
International Classification:
G08B021/00
US Classification:
340/679000, 340/693100, 340/870160, 340/539300
Abstract:
A sensor system includes a power harvesting subsystem, a control subsystem, a sensor subsystem and a communication subsystem. Electromechanical systems generate and dissipate multiple forms of waste energy as a by-product of system operation. Waste energy in the system may lead to destructive side effects which adversely affect the life of system elements. The sensor system is powered above a predetermined level and communicates the sensed information to a remote processor for system diagnosis.
