20140261462 | Endotracheal Tube Holding Device with Bite Block - A device for holding an endotracheal tube has a slide track configured to fit adjacent a lip on a patient's face. The track has a face contacting side, an exposed side, and a pair of opposite ends. A tube holder is coupled to and slidable along the track. A positioning mechanism is releasably lockable to allow selective lateral repositioning of the tube holder and an endotracheal tube held thereby along the track and to retain the tube holder at a selected position along the track without removing the device from the patient or an endotracheal tube from the device. A bite block is carried by the tube holder and slidable therewith along the track. The bite block has a tubular wall with a central opening along a length of the bite block and a pair of opposite open ends. The bite block is positioned spaced vertically from the track and has a portion extending rearward beyond the face contacting side of the track. | 09-18-2014 |
20140261463 | Endotrachael Tube Holding Device with Bite Block - A bite block for an endotracheal tube has a tubular wall with a pair of opposed ends, a central opening along a length of the bite block between the pair of opposed ends, an interior wall surface, and an accessory line channel positioned between the interior wall surface and an endotracheal tube extending through the central opening. The accessory line channel is formed by a wall segment that is recessed into the interior wall surface, the wall segment being thinner than a thickness of the tubular wall adjacent the wall segment. The bite block can be part of or attachable to an endotracheal tube holding device attachable to a patient. | 09-18-2014 |

20080250803 | MODULAR AIRCRAFT GROUND SUPPORT CART - A modular aircraft support system is disclosed. In one embodiment, the modular system includes a mobile cart and an air conditioning system configured to provide conditioned air to an aircraft. The embodiment also includes a modular power converter for converting input power to a desired output power, which can be input to a supported aircraft. The cart is configured to receive a plurality of different interchangeable power converters, such as a 115 VAC, 400 Hz power converter or a 270 VDC power converter. In some embodiments, a variety of other components are also coupled to the mobile cart, including a local generator and engine. The generator may supply power to the air conditioning system and to the converter. | 10-16-2008 |

20090108128 | GROUND SUPPORT SYSTEM - A ground support system configured to support servicing of aircraft may include a main body housing one or both of an engine and/or a blower, a control panel that is used to control operation of one or both of the engine and/or blower, and at least one acoustic wave engagement member positioned on the control panel. The acoustic wave member(s) is configured to selectively activate and deactivate an engine or blower function when touched by an operator. The acoustic wave engagement member(s) operates in the presence of moisture and debris. | 04-30-2009 |
20090121552 | A MULTI-VOLTAGE POWER SUPPLY FOR A UNIVERSAL AIRPLANE GROUND SUPPORT EQUIPMENT CART - An airplane ground support system includes a multi-voltage power supply. This system includes an air conditioning module and a control module having a display and a processor, the display and processor presenting an airplane type or class selection menu to airplane support technicians and responding to the selection of a type or class of airplane by generating a power output selection signal designating the type of power needed by the selected type or class of airplane. The system also includes a power supply module which has an A.C. power input, at least one power output, and which receives the power output selection signal as an incoming signal. A power conversion system within the power supply module connects to the A.C. power input and supplies converted and voltage regulated power to the at least one power output. This power conversion system also receives the power conversion control signal as an input signal. A control system within the power conversion module receives measurements of the voltage at the power supply module's at least one power output and also receives the control module's power output selection signal. This control system generates the power conversion system's power conversion control signal and adjusts it to regulate the power module's output to a predetermined preset voltage level as mandated by the power output selection signal. | 05-14-2009 |
20130061975 | AIRCRAFT GROUND SUPPORT HOSE ASSEMBLY - An air delivery hose assembly for use with aircraft ground support equipment provides conditioned air to an on-ground aircraft. The hose assembly includes an impermeable inner liner which forms an air conduit, a stress layer comprising a web of cord material which surrounds the inner liner, and an insulating layer which surrounds the inner liner and the stress layer to thermally insulate air passing through the air hose. The stress layer prevents air pressure in the conduit from expanding the inner liner and compressing the insulating layer, and thereby reducing the effectiveness of the insulating layer. | 03-14-2013 |
20130279212 | DUAL FUNCTION SOLID STATE CONVERTER - A dual function solid state power converter operable from a three phase AC input current simultaneously provides; an AC or DC output current on an aircraft power cable to provide ground power to a parked aircraft, and a low voltage DC current on a battery charging power cable to charge batteries in nearby service vehicles. The power converter includes an AC to DC converter which converts the current on an internal DC bus, a DC to AC converter which converts the DC bus current to an AC current at a higher voltage and frequency, or a DC to DC converter which converts the DC bus current to a lower voltage DC, for supplying ground power to a parked aircraft, and a DC to DC converter for converting the DC bus current to a lower voltage battery charging current on the battery charging cable. | 10-24-2013 |

20090112368 | MAINTENANCE AND CONTROL SYSTEM FOR GROUND SUPPORT EQUIPMENT - Ground support equipment for servicing an airplane includes a ground support equipment cart upon which are mounted at least two equipment modules and a control module. A first equipment module mounted upon the cart contains ground support equipment for servicing an airplane and also has a network connection, and at least one additional equipment module mounted upon the cart contains additional ground support equipment for servicing an airplane and also has a network connection. The control module has a user display and user controls that are connected to a control processor which has a network connection. The user display and the user controls serve as a shared control panel for the ground support equipment contained in the modules mounted upon the cart. A network interconnects the network connections of the modules mounted upon the cart. The control processor can cause the user display to present a menu listing various types or classes of airplanes for selection by a user. In response to user selection of a type or class of airplane, the control processor sends over the network to one or more of the other modules information defining what particular services the selected type or class of airplane requires of the modules. | 04-30-2009 |
