Abstract

A bidirectional latching device for securing a cargo in a vehicle may have a latch catch assembly and a latch head. The latch catch assembly may selectably engage with the latch head. When engaged with the latch head, the latch catch assembly may lock the latch head in position to resist movement and the latch head may secure the cargo in the vehicle. When disengaged from the latch head, the latch catch assembly may release the latch head and the latch head may move to a stowed position. The latch catch assembly may lock the latch head to resist movement in one or more directions of movement. The latch head may be shaped to secure the cargo in the vehicle in at least two directions. Thus, cargo may be secured more efficiently by requiring a reduced number of latch devices because the disclosed latch device is bidirectional.

Abstract

An inflation valve arrangement includes an actuation cavity housing connected to a pneumatic valve, the actuation cavity housing comprising an actuation cavity and a piston rod extending from the actuation cavity at least partially into a main fluid channel of the pneumatic valve in an initially extended position for securing the pneumatic valve in a closed position. The arrangement further comprises a solenoid actuated pressure cartridge connected to the actuation cavity housing. The solenoid actuated pressure cartridge comprises a self-contained source of actuation gas. In response to the solenoid actuated pressure cartridge being energized, the solenoid operated pressure cartridge is configured to release the actuation gas from the pressure cavity into the actuation cavity, thereby retracting the piston rod into the actuation cavity, and opening the pneumatic valve body to release a source of inflation gas to an inflation device.

Abstract

A method of logging an observation or maintenance request of an aircraft, the method can comprise: scanning, by a personal internet device connected to a network, a machine-readable code; directing the personal internet device to a user interface of an aircraft log database based on the machine-readable code; and transmitting, by the personal internet device, a log entry to the aircraft log database over the network, wherein the log entry comprises a description of the observation. The method can further comprise transmitting an alert notification to an aircraft maintenance system. An aircraft log system can comprise a personal internet device, a machine-readable code disposed on an aircraft, and an aircraft log database. The aircraft log system can further comprise a manufacturer log database.
