| 20120133545 | COLLISION AVOIDANCE TRANSPONDER FOR AERIAL HAZARDS AND METHOD FOR REDUCING COLLISIONS WITH AERIAL HAZARDS - Embodiments of a collision-avoidance transponder and method for reducing collisions with an aerial hazard are generally described herein. The collision-avoidance transponder may be configured for location on an aerial hazard and may be configured to regularly transmit a signal that mimics an air traffic control (ATC) transponder reply signal. The regularly-transmitted signal may include an altitude indication, such as the pressure altitude, of the aerial hazard. A collision-avoidance and warning system on an aircraft may receive the regularly-transmitted signal and provide a warning under certain conditions to allow the pilot to avoid the aerial hazard. The collision-avoidance transponder may include an ATC-type transponder and control circuitry to cause the transponder to regularly transmit the signal that includes a pressure altitude of the aerial hazard. | 05-31-2012 |

| 20090309005 | Thrust mounting arrangement - Mounting of gas turbine engines in aircraft requires use of thrust struts associated with mountings. It is important should there be failure that a load path is maintained. Furthermore, on a wing or in-situ inspection is highly desirable with respect to reducing maintenance costs. Of particular concern is failure as a result of cracking both sideways and vertical which may result in loss of all load paths through the mounting. By provision of independent cranks which are associated through crank pivots in apertures of the cranks and then articulation about central pivots provided in apertures and a central element along with pivot association of the struts through pivots created about apertures in the cranks load paths are maintained. By independent provision of the cranks sideways and vertical cracking cannot cause failure in both load paths to the arrangement from the struts. Furthermore, gaps between the cranks and the mounting and in particular snubber surface can be monitored to indicate component failure. | 12-17-2009 |
