Abstract: An angle-of-attack sensor includes at least one acoustic transmitter is configured to provide an acoustic pulse. The first acoustic receiver is positioned at a radial distance from the at least one acoustic transmitter. The first acoustic receiver is configured to receive the acoustic pulse at a first time and provide a first receiver signal. The second acoustic receiver is positioned at the radial distance from the at least one acoustic transmitter aligned with an axis that extends through the at least one acoustic transmitter and the first acoustic receiver. The second acoustic receiver is configured to receive the acoustic pulse at a second time and provide a second receiver signal. The angle-of-attack circuitry is configured to determine a delay difference between the first and second receiver signals representative of a difference between the first time and the second time and determine an angle-of-attack based upon the delay difference.

Abstract: A micro-fuse assembly includes a substrate, a number of thin-film micro-fuses on the substrate, and a topping wafer configured to sealingly engage to at least one of the substrate or the thin-film micro-fuses to define a cavity therebetween. The cavity is configured to encapsulate the thin-film micro-fuses within an inert environment sealed within the cavity. A method of encapsulating a micro-fuse assembly within an inert environment using a topping wafer is also disclosed.

Abstract: A MEMS pressure sensor includes a first plate with a hole on a diaphragm bonded to the first plate around its rim with the diaphragm positioned over the hole. An isolation frame is bonded to the diaphragm and a second plate with a pillar is bonded to the isolation frame around its rim to form a cavity such that the end of the pillar in the cavity is proximate a surface of the diaphragm. The diaphragm and second plate form a capacitive sensor which changes output upon deflection of the diaphragm relative to the second plate.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to determining metrics of a cloud atmosphere using time difference measurements. A light projector projects a pulse of light into a cloud atmosphere, and a light sensor detects a portion of the projected pulse of light backscattered by the cloud atmosphere. A backscatter coefficient is calculated based on peak amplitude of the detected portion. An optical extinction coefficient is calculated based on a time difference between a peak time and a post-peak time, which correspond to times at which the peak amplitude of the detected portion occurs and at which the detected portion equals or crosses a sub-peak threshold, respectively. In some embodiments, a logarithm amplifier is used to facilitate processing of signals of widely varying amplitudes. In some embodiments, the sub-peak threshold is calculated as a fraction of the peak amplitude of the detected portion.

Abstract: An acoustic air data sensing system includes an acoustic transmitter and a plurality of acoustic receivers. The acoustic transmitter is located to transmit an acoustic signal into airflow about an exterior of a vehicle. Each of the acoustic receivers is located at a respective angle from a wind angle reference line and a respective distance from the acoustic transmitter. Planar components of a velocity of the airflow are determined based on signal velocities of the acoustic signal to each of the plurality of acoustic receivers and the respective angles of the acoustic receivers from the wind angle reference line. Based on the planar components, the acoustic transmitter determines one or more of true airspeed and relative wind angle of the airflow about the exterior of the vehicle. The acoustic transmitter outputs the one or more of the true airspeed and the relative wind angle for operational control of the vehicle.
