Title: Jiahua Lu and Thrust Reverser Actuation System Testing.

Introduction

Jiahua Lu is an inventor associated with Montebello, California, and Woodward, Inc. His patent work addresses testing an actuator lock used in a thrust reverser actuation system.

Latest Patents

Lu is credited with 1 patent: “Thrust Reverser Actuation System Lock Tester.” The invention describes a controller-based method for checking whether an actuator lock prevents an actuator output from moving away from a predetermined position. The controller initiates actuation, uses position feedback to determine the output’s resulting position, and assesses the lock as nominal when that position remains within a specified threshold. It can then provide a signal indicating the lock’s condition.

Career Highlights

Lu’s listed patent connects his inventive work with Woodward, Inc., a company associated with control systems and components. The patent focuses on evaluating lock operation through controlled actuation and position sensing.

Collaborations

The available information associates Lu’s patent with Woodward, Inc. It does not identify specific co-inventors or other collaborators.

Conclusion

Jiahua Lu’s patent presents a controller-guided approach to testing thrust reverser actuator locks, using position feedback to determine and report whether a lock is operating nominally.
