    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for data collection in connection with one or more aircraft. Avionics inputs are received, at an avionics data collection platform, regarding a plurality of avionics parameters. The avionics parameters may be associated with components of the aircraft and collected by way of avionics sensors. The avionics parameters are aggregated by way of the data collection platform. The aggregated avionics parameters are multiplexed at the data collection platform. The multiplexed and aggregated plurality of avionics parameters are transmitted over loosely-coupled networking connections to an aircraft recording system. The aircraft recording system includes a network collector and an embedded microcontroller system. A prioritized aggregation of the avionics parameters is provided by way of the network collector and the embedded microcontroller system to external systems.

    Abstract: A heated battery cell conductor includes an upper conductor having a plurality of tabs each configured for direct physical contact with a battery terminal at a top end of one of a plurality of battery cells, respectively. A lower conductor includes a plurality of tabs each configured for direct physical contact with a battery terminal at a bottom end of one of the battery cells, respectively. The upper conductor and the lower conductor each include a conductor substrate configured for conducting an electrical current, a thermally conductive and electrically isolated layer disposed on the conductor substrate, a channel formed in the thermally conductive and electrically isolated layer, and a resistive heating element disposed in the channel such that the upper conductor and the lower conductor each conduct heat to the battery cells via the resistive heating element.

    Abstract: A sensor lift mechanism for deploying a sensor from a tail cone of an aircraft includes a frame mounted onto a side wall of the tail cone via a mounting assembly. The frame includes a first roller track and a second roller track aligned with the first roller track. A roller carriage assembly includes a plurality of rollers configured for rolling along the first and second roller tracks. A sensor platform is mechanically coupled to the carriage assembly and configured for mounting the sensor thereto. A drive unit is operatively coupled to the frame. The drive unit translates the roller carriage assembly vertically between the first and second roller tracks to move the sensor platform between a stowed position and a deployed position. A floor of the tail cone includes a track door configured to open for deploying the sensor beneath the tail cone.

    Abstract: A seat release system and device, the system including an interface assembly that provides actuation signaling, an actuation device that communicatively provides mechanical motion in response to the actuation signaling, a cable connected to the actuation device, and a recline release cylinder having a gas release button and a release lever at a first end, and having a cylinder piston arm in the recline release cylinder at a second end. The release lever is attached to a second end of the cable where the cable moves the release lever in response to the mechanical motion of the actuation device. The gas release button vents the recline release cylinder to atmosphere in response to being depressed as a result of the cable moving the release lever. The cylinder piston arm may move in the recline release cylinder in response to the gas release button being depressed.
