    Abstract: A windshield wiper system for an aircraft includes a wiper drive shaft with a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The second end includes a first threaded section between the first end and the second end, a second threaded section extending axially along the wiper drive shaft between the first threaded section and the second end relative to a center axis of the wiper drive shaft, and a spline section axially between the first threaded section and the second threaded section. Further included is a first nut to thread to the first threaded section, a second nut to thread to the second threaded section, and a wiper arm assembly including an adjustment sleeve configured to interlock with the spline section, a wiper arm with a first end configured to enclose the adjustment sleeve, and a second end of the wiper arm attached to a wiper blade.

    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to improving measurement of metrics determined by laser air-data systems subject to unwanted background light. Such measurements are improved by estimating and excising the unwanted background light from the total light received by an optical receiver which receives a Doppler-shifted reflected portion of a projected beam of light backscattered by aerosols and air molecules of an atmosphere. The background light is estimated using a background-light rejection filter that receives the light received by the optical receiver after it has been filtered by a vapor cell filter and separates the light received by the optical receiver into a beam sampling portion and a complementary non-beam portion. The non-beam sampling portion is used to estimate the background light portion within the beam sampling portion, which also contains the Doppler-shifted reflected portion of the projected beam used for calculating the metrics of air data.

    Abstract: An ice detection sensor apparatus includes a strut body extending along a longitudinal axis. The strut body includes an axially extending wall extending around the longitudinal axis to surround an interior space, and an axial-facing end wall connected to an axial end of the axially extending wall. The axial-facing end wall partially bounds the interior space. A magneto strictive oscillator sensing element extends from the interior space, through the axial-facing end wall. The sensing element is engaged to the axial-facing end wall for oscillation along the longitudinal axis relative to the axial-facing end wall. A permanent magnet (PMG) element is integral with, e.g., monolithic with, the strut body.
