20100118462 | METHOD FOR LIMITING CURRENT AND CIRCUIT THEREFOR - A semiconductor component that includes a current limit circuit and a method for limiting current in the semiconductor component. An input/output pin is connected to the gate of a transistor and a control resistor is connected between the gate of the transistor and its source. One terminal of the control resistor is connected to the input/output pin and the other terminal is connected to another input/output pin. A current source is connected to the input/output pin. A reference voltage is generated between the two input/output pins and compared with a drain-source voltage that is between one of the two input/output pins and another input/output pin. A control voltage is set in accordance with the comparison. The control voltage then controls the voltage on another of the pins that is not common to the reference voltage and to the drain-source voltage. | 05-13-2010 |

The cabin pressure control system may have manual and auto controls controlling separate motors on each outflow valve. Auto motor control may be performed via software biasing command logic included in the control laws in the control system. Air flow may be biased through selected outflow valves and the degree of biasing may be automatically or manually set. | 07-08-2010 |

The outflow valve may be moved until a closed position is reached, if the aircraft has reached the predetermined cruise condition. An actual position feedback value of the outflow valve may be determined while the aircraft is in the predetermined cruise condition. An offset calibration factor may be determined from the actual position feedback value of the outflow valve relative to a theoretical value. | 09-12-2013 |

20080211445 | AIRCRAFT CABIN PRESSURE CONTROLS: DUTY CYCLE OFFSET TO COMPENSATE FOR ASYMMETRIC MOTOR LOADING IN AN OPEN-LOOP MOTOR CONTROL SYSTEM - A cabin pressure control system (CPCS) software control logic modification may boost the voltage applied to a motor by applying a duty cycle offset to compensate for asymmetric motor loading. The motor may be part of an open-loop system for operating a butterfly valve that may regulate outflow from the aircraft cabin. In CPCS applications, the loading on the butterfly valve is unidirectional due to a mechanical spring and pneumatic loading, thus, causing asymmetric loading to the motor. By boosting the motor voltage when the motor is required to act against the asymmetric load, CPCS performance and robustness may be improved. | 09-04-2008 |
