181 Method for monitoring a no-back device of an adjustable horizontal trim actuator, corresponding system and aircraft US12888965 2010-09-23 US20110127375A1 2011-06-02 Cédric TALLOT; Laura Baxerres; Ivan Ferreol
The present invention relates to a method and a system for monitoring of an actuator equipped with a no-back device or no-back brake and in particular an adjustable horizontal trim actuator provided in aircraft.The method comprises the steps consisting in:determining a value representative of the mechanical work produced by the said actuator;comparing the said determined value with ranges of values so as to detect a dysfunctioning of the said no-back device.In the case of an actuator of screw/nut type and a hydraulic motor, the said value representative of the mechanical work is determined from an algebraic velocity of the motor and an algebraic differential of hydraulic pressure at the terminals of the said motor.A negative value corresponding to negative mechanical work then identifies a failure of the no-back device.
182 FAULT-TOLERANT ELECTROMECHANICAL ACTUATOR HAVING A TORQUE SENSING CONTROL SYSTEM US12912218 2010-10-26 US20110089877A1 2011-04-21 David E. Blanding; James Leo Peck, JR.
A method for forming an electromechanical actuator that involves using at least one motor module engageable with an output ram for controllably translating the output ram along a linear axis of the output ram. A torque sensing adaptive control (TSAC) system is used for monitoring motor module torque within the motor module and generating a disengagement command signal. The disengagement command signal is used to initiate disengagement of the motor module from the output ram when the torque within the motor module is outside an allowable motor module torque range.
183 Fault-tolerant electromechanical actuator having a torque sensing control system US11291709 2005-12-01 US07834494B2 2010-11-16 David E Blanding; Jim Peck
An electromechanical actuator (EMA) is provided. The EMA includes a threaded output ram connectable to a mechanical component and at least one motor module engageable with the output ram for controllably translating the output ram along a linear axis of the output ram. The actuator further includes a torque sensing adaptive control (TSAC) system for monitoring torque within the motor module. The TSAC generates a disengagement command signal when the TSAC system determines torque within the motor module is outside an allowable motor module torque range. The disengagement command signal initiates disengagement of the motor module from the output ram.

199 Flap interconnection system for aircraft US11187334 2005-07-22 US20060022093A1 2006-02-02 Bernd Poppe; Kurt Auhagen
Described is an interconnection system, in particular for flaps which are located side-by-side, on an aircraft wing, for example landing flaps or high-lift flaps. The interconnection system is in particular characterised in that it comprises a correspondingly guided compensating profile for a gap between the flaps, which gap changes when the flaps are moved. Preferably, the interconnection system is combined with a failsafe device for adjacent flaps in the form of a longitudinally adjustable interconnection strut which is connected to the adjacent flaps by way of corresponding load introduction fittings. The interconnection system is in particular suitable for large aircraft in which the gap between adjacent flaps, due to the relatively large lateral movement of the flaps during retraction and extension, becomes relatively wide, and the forces acting on the flaps are relatively great.
