The present invention relates to a flow control device and more particularly to reactive self-contained modular flow control device with deployable flow effectors. The present invention further relates to a method of operating the flow control device.One embodiment of the present invention includes a method of controlling air flow across a surface of an aircraft under certain flight conditions comprising the steps of sensing fluid separation from the surface by measuring the pressure on the surface; determining a standard deviation of the pressure measurements over a period of time; and deploying a flow effector in response to the standard deviation of the pressure measurements exceeding a predetermined threshold number.       Recently Added Patents Dynamic roll angle stall protection for an aircraft Corset Transaction processing entity device support of an integrated offer network Skin penetrating touch fasteners Woody cork holder Determination of conductive formation orientation by making wellbore sonde error correction Planetary gear mechanism for a bicycle   Randomly Featured Patents Process for rendering reactors inert Zoom lens system, interchangeable lens apparatus and camera system Optimized catalyst addition to enhance esterification catalyst performance Cylinder piston rod guide Snowboard boot binding mechanism Puncture needle cartridge and lancet for blood collection Wagering game Cylinder anchor Gear cutter assembly Integrated tabbed note and clip © 2006-2008 PatentGenius.
