An air data probe includes an air data probe body and an additively manufactured heater on the air data probe body.

Additively manufactured heaters for air data probes

A method for manufacturing a detector for sensing, detecting and monitoring environmental hazards and conditions, said method including the printing of an electronic circuit on at least a first side of a flexible, printable substrate; coupling at least two electronic components to the electronic circuit on at least the first side of the flexible, printable substrate; thermoforming the flexible, printable substrate to form at least one detection zone from: (i) at least one side of the flexible, printable substrate having an angle for emitting one of a light or a signal from at least one electronic component; and (ii); at least one side of the flexible, printable substrate having an angle for receiving one of a light or a signal by at least one electronic component; and encapsulating the flexible, printable substrate, forming a detector.

Method for manufacturing a detector

A detector assembly for a duct of a heating ventilation and air conditioning system includes an outer housing having at least one through hole formed therein, an inner sampling support receivable within a hollow interior of the outer housing, and at least one detector mounted to the inner sampling support. The at least one detector is axially aligned with the at least one through hole when the inner sampling support is installed within the hollow interior of the outer housing. The at least one detector is operable to sample air within the duct to detect a hazardous condition.

Chamberless wide area duct smoke detector

A cap for a light emitter and/or light receiver of a smoke detector for eliminating a direct line of sight between the light emitter and the light receiver is disclosed. The cap comprises an enclosure of a predefined profile having a predetermined open area at a predetermined position on the enclosure, which is adapted to be removably fitted over one or more of the light emitter and/or the light receiver. The cap upon fitting over any of the light emitter and the light receiver, the cap blocks a direct line of sight between the light emitter and the light receiver and allows the light receiver to receive only the light being reflected by smoke and a predefined amount of clean air signal present within the smoke detector.

A method of making an electrocaloric article is disclosed. The method includes mounting a supported electrocaloric film to a frame. The supported electrocaloric film includes an electrocaloric film and a first support film disposed on a first side of the electrocaloric film. An active area of the electrocaloric film is provided, which is not covered by the first support film on the first side of the electrocaloric film. Electrical connections are provided to electrodes disposed on opposing sides of the electrocaloric film in the active area.

Electrocaloric heat transfer system

An additive manufactured multi-portion article includes a first portion of an article manufactured by a first additive manufacturing process; and a second portion of the article manufactured by a second additive manufacturing process different than the first additive manufacturing process, the second portion attached to the first portion.

Additive manufactured multi-portion article

An air data probe includes an air data probe body and an additively manufactured heater on the air data probe body, the heater including a first heater layer and a first dielectric layer on the first heater layer. The first dielectric layer makes up an exterior surface of the heater.
