Abstract: An air data probe includes a probe head defining a longitudinal axis between a forward tip and aft base. A port opening is defined in the forward tip. A first conduit is in fluid communication with the port opening to guide fluid flow from the port opening to a first chamber. The first chamber is downstream from the port opening. A second conduit, offset radially and circumferentially from the first conduit, is in fluid communication with the first chamber to guide fluid flow from the first chamber to a second chamber. The second chamber is downstream from the first chamber. The offset between the first and second conduits is configured to prevent particle ingestion from the port opening from entering the second conduit.

Abstract: A vision-based aircraft cabin light monitoring/control system is used to maintain the light intensity level within the aircraft cabin at a desired level. The system uses video cameras to continuously monitor the ambient light entering the passenger cabin windows, analyzes the video stream/feed to identify the light intensity level within the cabin, identifies the window whose state should be controlled, and generates commands to control the window through central cabin controllers. The system further compensates for light sources internal to the cabin and monitors the phase of flight to ensure compliance to specific light conditions within the aircraft cabin.

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: A multi-fiber optical sensor system includes a light source configured to generate light energy, a transmitter fiber configured to receive the light energy from the light source and to project light energy out of a projecting end of the transmitter fiber over a transmitter fiber field of view, and a plurality of receiver fibers. Each of the plurality of receiver fibers has a receiving end aligned proximate and substantially parallel to the projecting end of the transmitter fiber and is configured to receive a received portion of the projected light energy reflected from a target within a receiver field of view. The multi-fiber optical sensor system also includes a lenslet array configured to shape the transmitter fiber field of view and give the transmitter field of view a finite cross-sectional area. The lenslet array has a plurality of lens corresponding to the transmitter fiber and each of the plurality of receiver fibers and is further configured to shape the receiver fiber field of view, tilt the center of the field of view with respect to the axis of the projected light energy for each of the plurality of receiver fibers and give the receiver fiber field of view for each of the plurality of receiver fibers a finite cross-sectional area. The multi-fiber optical sensor system also includes a detector configured to detect the portion of the projected light energy received by each of the plurality of receiver fibers. The receiver fiber field of view for each of the plurality of receiver fibers crosses the transmitter fiber field of view between a first crossing point at a distance Rmin from a lens axis and a last crossing point at a distance Rmax from the lens axis. There is a center crossing point Rmid at a point where a centerline of the receiver fiber field of view for each of the plurality of receiver fibers crosses a centerline of the transmitter fiber field of view. The range between Rmin and Rmax for each of the plurality of receiver fibers defines a detection zone such that each of the plurality of receiver fibers has a unique detection zone. Targets include a hard target and/or constituents of a cloud atmosphere.
