9 results about "Foreign object damage" patented technology

In aviation, foreign object debris (FOD) is any article or substance, alien to an aircraft or system, which could potentially cause damage. External FOD hazards include bird strikes, hail, ice, sandstorms, ash-clouds or objects left on the runway. Internal FOD hazards include items left in the cockpit that interfere with flight safety by getting tangled in control cables, jam moving parts or short-out electrical connections.

Method of monitoring an aircraft engine

PendingUS20260062149A1Aircraft health monitoring devicesTesting/monitoring control systemsForeign object damageSeverity level
A method of monitoring operation of an aircraft engine includes, during operation of the aircraft engine, monitoring a parameter associated with the aircraft engine using one or more sensors. In response to determining that one or more values of the parameter are indicative of a foreign object damage (FOD) event of a first severity level to the aircraft engine, communicating data pertaining to the FOD event of the first severity level in accordance with a first communication scheme assigned to the first severity level. In response to determining that one or more values of the parameter are indicative of FOD event of a second severity level to the aircraft engine, the second severity level being higher than the first severity level, communicating data pertaining to the FOD event of the second severity level in accordance with a second communication scheme assigned to the second severity level.

Protective screen window

ActiveCN223854145UInsect protectionComputer hardwareForeign object damage
The utility model provides a protective screen window which comprises a window frame, a gauze element, a protective assembly and a containing device, and the unfolded area of the gauze element at least covers a frame body of the window frame; the protection assembly is connected with the gauze element and extends from one side of the window frame to the other side of the window frame. The containing device is located on one side of the window frame, a containing space is formed in the containing device, and at least part of the gauze element and the protection assembly can be contained in the containing space. According to the protective screen window provided by the utility model, the protective component is arranged on the gauze element, so that the gauze element can bear larger impact force, and the protective component and the gauze element are difficult to damage even if the gauze element is damaged by external foreign matters, so that the gauze element can not be damaged even if the gauze element is accidentally impacted by an indoor child when the child plays the protective screen window. And the safety of indoor children can still be protected to the greatest extent.

Method for reducing foreign matter damage caused by rotation of valve element and valve body

PendingCN121474366APlug valvesValve housingsForeign matterForeign object damage
The invention relates to a method for reducing foreign matter damage caused by rotation of a valve element and a valve body.The method comprises the following steps that sealing structures are rotationally arranged in an inlet and an outlet of a shell of the valve element, and the sealing structures are in sealing fit with the valve element and can freely rotate in the inlet and the outlet; a transmission structure is arranged between the valve element and the sealing structure and can push the sealing structure to rotate when the valve element rotates. According to the technical scheme, when the valve element rotates, the transmission structure drives the sealing structure to rotate in the inlet or the outlet, when the valve element rotates and extrudes sundries, the sealing structure rotates to take the sundries away from the contact face, in other words, the sealing structure unloads force through rotation, support to the sundries is relieved, and the sealing effect is improved. And damage of foreign matters to the sealing structure in the rotating process of the valve element is reduced.

Method of monitoring a foreign object damage event in an aircraft engine

A method of monitoring operation of an aircraft engine includes, during operation of the aircraft engine, monitoring a vibration parameter associated with the aircraft engine and monitoring a performance parameter associated with the aircraft engine. In response to determining that one or more values of one of the vibration parameter and the performance parameter are indicative of foreign object damage (FOD) to the aircraft engine, determining whether one or more values of the other one of the vibration parameter and the performance parameter are indicative of FOD to the aircraft engine. In response to determining that the one or more values of both the vibration parameter and the performance parameter are indicative of FOD to the aircraft engine, registering a confirmed occurrence of FOD to the aircraft engine in a non-transitory memory associated with the aircraft engine.
