The method of making a hydrolyzed collagen gel is a manufacturing method for producing a hydrolyzed collagen gel to be used as a topical wound treatment. A first volume of purified water is initially heated to a temperature ranging from about 71 C. to about 77 C., and a hydrolyzed type I collagen powder is then mixed into the heated purified water to form a first mixture. An additive is mixed into the first mixture to form a second mixture, where the additive may be native collagen, at least one amino acid, least one therapeutic agent, gelatin, whey, hydrolyzed whey, polysulfated glycosaminoglycan, a glucosamine salt, glutamine, glycosaminoclycans, zinc, silver oxide alginates, cellulose, honey, mushroom extract and combinations thereof. A second volume of purified water is then added to the second mixture to form the hydrolyzed collagen gel product. Mixing is performed as a continuous, recirculating, temperature-monitored and temperature-maintained process.

20240125674 · 2024-04-18 · ·

A system and method include a hydraulic system onboard an aircraft, a first temperature sensor, a second temperature sensor, and a controller. The first temperature sensor measures a first temperature of hydraulic fluid upstream of an inlet of a pump of the hydraulic system. The second temperature sensor measures a second temperature of the hydraulic fluid within a cooling flow stream downstream of an outlet of the pump. The controller determines a value of a temperature rise of the hydraulic fluid across the pump as a difference between the first temperature and the second temperature, and obtains an expected range for the temperature rise across the pump based on a speed of the pump. In response to the value of the temperature rise being outside of the expected range, the controller generates a maintenance message for communication off-board the aircraft, indicating the pump is degraded.
