    Abstract: An inflation valve and systems for inflating an inflatable device includes a valve. The valve includes an outer body, a command chamber within the outer body and an inlet chamber, the inlet chamber having an inlet connected to the source of inflation gas and an outlet connected to the inflatable device. The valve also includes a vent fluidly connected to the command chamber, the vent including a vent body having one or more vent holes formed therein and an elastomeric sleeve surrounding a portion of the vent body and covering the one or more vent holes.

    Abstract: An aircraft exterior light unit may comprise a magnetically controlled fluid drain valve configured to expel liquid water from the light unit. The valve may include a permanent magnet configured to induce a magnetic flux circuit that generates a magnetic force configured to close the valve. The valve may be configured to open when the pressure inside the light unit exceeds the magnetic force. As the valve opens and expels the water, the pressure within the light unit may decrease, equalizing with that of the external environment. As the magnetic force generated by the magnet increases as the valve is open and the water expelled, the magnet may be configured to close the valve once more. As such, the magnet may be configured to control a self-acting fluid drain valve in an aircraft exterior light.

    Abstract: An inflation control system for an inflatable device may comprise: a compressed fluid source; a solenoid valve connected to the compressed fluid source and configured to control a flow of gas to the inflatable device; and a control circuit comprising a power source, a pressure switch, and an electrical switch, the control circuit configured to energize, via the power source, the solenoid valve in response to both the pressure switch and the electrical switch being in a closed state, the pressure switch configured to open and de-energize the solenoid valve in response to being exposed to a pressure at or exceeding a pressure threshold.
