    摘要: An article of manufacture may include a tangible, non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon for controlling deployment of aircraft escape and ejection seat subsystems. The instructions, in response to execution by a sequencer, cause the sequencer to perform operations, which may comprise receiving, by the sequencer, a power input; sending, by the sequencer, a first deploy signal to a first aircraft escape subsystem; and sending, by the sequencer, a second deploy signal to a first ejection seat subsystem.

    摘要: A dual switch arm and mode select system for monitoring an ejection mode selection of an ejection system may include a controller. An ejection mode selector, a first arm switch assembly, a second arm switch assembly, and a display may be in communication with the controller. The controller may determine an ejection mode of the ejection system based on a signal received from the ejection mode selector. The controller may determine a position of the first arm switch assembly and a position of the second arm switch assembly. The controller may command the display to output at least one of a fault-free signal, a fault signal, or a warning signal based on the ejection mode and the positions of the first arm switch assembly and the second arm switch assembly.

    摘要: A transducer assembly configured to convert a pyrotechnic initiation to an electrical signal may comprise a magnet, a hollow tube, and a conductive element. The hollow tube may be wrapped around the magnet in the shape of a coil. The hollow tube may be at least partially filled with a thermite. The conductive element may be coupled to an outlet of the hollow tube. The conductive element may seal the outlet of the hollow tube.
