Abstract: A method of opening a cargo door of an aircraft, the aircraft including a body with an opening into a cargo bay, and a cargo door which covers the opening when it is in a closed position. A cargo door is outwardly rotated with a first actuator from the closed position to a first open position. Then an actuator rod is installed by coupling a first end of an actuator rod to the body and coupling a second end of the actuator rod to the cargo door in the first open position. Then the cargo door is outwardly rotated with the actuator rod from the first open position to a second open position by increasing a distance between the first and second ends of the actuator rod.

Abstract: A joining method and assembly for an aircraft. To improve the characteristics or permit hitherto impossible connections between thermoplastic and thermoset components, a multi-material joining method is disclosed in which a thermoplastic connecting region is formed on the thermoplastic component. The connecting region is connected to the thermoset component by interdiffusion. For this purpose, the uncured second component is brought into contact with the connecting region and heat is supplied. An interdiffusion layer is formed which fixedly connects the second component and the connecting region to one another and thus joins the first component to the second component.

Abstract: A component for an aircraft and an aircraft with such component. The component includes a heat source enclosed by a housing, heat exchanger, heat sink, at least one structural suspension element, and an air duct. Each structural suspension element is attached to an inner surface of the housing and supports one or more of the heat source within the housing. The heat sink is part of the housing and configured to guide air from an inside of the housing an outside of the housing. Each heat exchanger is thermally coupled to the heat source. Each heat exchanger is fluidly connected to the heat sink via an inlet line and a return line for a coolant. The air duct is configured to guide ambient air from the outside through the housing, past each of the at least one structural suspension element, and through the heat sink out of the housing.

Abstract: An electrical arrangement for protection in a direct current electric system includes an input connection, positive and negative input terminals, an output connection with positive and negative output terminals, and a stepping converting component with a switching topology with first and second positive connectors and a ground connector. A first switch is between the first and second positive connectors, and a second switch is between the second positive connector and the ground connector. The negative input terminal and the negative output terminal connect via the ground connector. The one switching topology is connected to the positive input terminal, the positive output terminal, and to the interconnected negative input and output terminals. The stepping converting component provides an operation switching mode for normal operation of the direct current electric system and to provide an overcurrent switching mode for overcurrent operation of the direct current electric system.

Abstract: A pump arrangement for providing a saturated or subcooled liquid includes a tank for saturated liquid, a heat exchanger for cooling the saturated liquid, a pump, an expansion valve, and an output for feeding saturated or subcooled liquid to a consumer. A tank outlet is in fluid communication with a liquid inlet of the heat exchanger, such that saturated liquid stored inside the tank can flow into the heat exchanger designed to sub-cool the saturated liquid. A liquid outlet of the heat exchanger is in fluid communication with a pump inlet. The expansion valve outlet is in fluid communication with a coolant inlet of the heat exchanger. An expansion valve inlet is arranged for receiving and expanding a fraction of liquid flowing through the pump arrangement and routing it into the coolant input to at least partially evaporate and receive evaporation enthalpy of the liquid to be subcooled.

Abstract: Use of cryogenic fuel tanks for the cooling of power electronics circuits to improve cooling capabilities for power electronics in vehicles or an aircraft. The power electronics circuit can be cooled via a cryogenic cooling loop by the fuel directly, or the fuel is used to cool a separated coolant tank. A control valve controls the coolant flow within the cryogenic cooling loop based on an electrical property of the power switching element of the power electronics circuit and or based on the way the power switching elements are electrically connected together. The control valve can control the coolant flow such that a junction temperature is achieved which minimizes the drain-source resistance.

Abstract: A method for establishing a communication through multiple distinct communication paths deployed over different network operators includes collecting location information of network nodes of available distinct paths between a source node and destination node, comparing location information of the network nodes to identify possibly co-located network nodes, determining path segment lengths of consecutive path segments between the nodes of each path, estimating whether path segments of the paths intersect based on locations of the network nodes and the path segment lengths, selecting multiple paths that do not include intersecting path segments and/or co-located network nodes, and establishing communication between the source node and destination node over both selected paths.
