Abstract: A deicing system includes dual deice system components to provide a redundant deice system. Each redundant portion of the system generally includes a controller, an air data computer, an ice rate controller, and an ice rate probe. The controller communicating a heating cycle which defines a multiple of electric pulse trains to sequentially provides power to a multiple of heating elements in a designated blade set. Each electric pulse train is defined by an element on-time, a null time between the element on-time for this element and the next element, and an off-time between repetition of the heating cycle for the first heater element. The element on-time is a function of outside air temperature (OAT). The off-time is a function of liquid water content. The tail rotor heating cycle is a more straightforward version of the main rotor heating cycle as each of the tail rotor blade are activated simultaneously and there is only a single heating element on each tail rotor blade.

Abstract: A control system for automatically loading and unloading a vehicle (10) from a cargo compartment comprises a plurality of distance measuring sensors (31,32,33,34) attached to specified locations on the exterior surfaces of the vehicle (54,56,57) and the cargo compartment (55). The sensors provide distance signals, indicative of the distance between each sensor and the nearest obstruction, to a microprocessor which compares each of the distance signals to reference signals indicative of the minimum allowable clearance between each specified location and an obstruction. During activation of an automatic loading/unloading switch (70), a winch (39) is activated to move the vehicle into or out of a cargo compartment if each of the distances is greater than the corresponding minimum allowable clearance. If any clearance is less than the minimum allowable clearance while the vehicle is being moved, movement of the vehicle is automatically stopped and the height of the vehicle is adjusted (800-815) until all of the distances are greater than the corresponding minimum allowable clearances, after which the winch is reactivated to continue moving the vehicle. The cycle is repeated until the helicopter is in its final position or the automatic loading/unloading switch is released.

Abstract: A circuit breaker assembly includes a housing, an electrical bus structure coupled to the housing, and a number of first plug-in members coupled to the electrical bus structure. A number of circuit breakers include a first surface and a second plug-in member disposed opposite the first surface. The second plug-in member of each of the number of circuit breakers is mated with a corresponding one of the number of first plug-in members. A plate member is removably coupled to the housing. The plate member includes a first surface and an opposite second surface. The first surface of the number of circuit breakers engages the opposite second surface of the plate member in order to maintain mating of each of the number of circuit breakers with the corresponding one of the number of first plug-in members.

Abstract: A thermally managed electromagnetic switching device (2) is provided that includes a current carrying component set (4) switchable between a closed, current carrying state and an open, current interrupting state. A thermally dissipating component set (6) functionally supports and electrically isolates the current carrying component set (4) in the open state. The thermally dissipating component set (6) includes at least in part a thermally conductive polymer and is cooperatively configured to transfer heat away from the current carrying component set (4) in the closed state to dissipate thermal energy.
