    Abstract: A system includes a first sensor (102) positioned to sense presence of a contrail in a first volume (104), wherein the first volume at least partially overlaps an expected volume of a contrail (106) proximate an aircraft. A second sensor (108) is positioned to sense a background reference in a second volume (110), where the second volume (110) does not overlap the expected volume of a contrail (106) proximate an aircraft. A controller (118) is operatively connected to the first and second sensors (102, 108). The controller (118) includes machine readable instructions configured to cause the controller (118) to utilize data input from both the first and second volumes (104, 110) to determine if a contrail is present from the aircraft. A system includes machine readable instructions configured to cause the controller (118) to predict persistence of contrails on an intended route through the volume of airspace and to determine an improved route and/or propulsion operation to reduce contrail formation and persistence relative to the intended route.

    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to sensing pressure and mitigating the error introduced by the thermoelectric effect. A pressure sensing device includes a pressure sensor (102, 202), a temperature sensor (110), and an error correction device. The pressure sensor (102, 202) produces a voltage output proportional to a sensed pressure. The temperature sensor (110) measures a first temperature at a first location and a second temperature at a second location to produce a temperature difference signal. The error correction device modifies the pressure output proportionally to the temperature difference signal to produce a temperature adjusted pressure output which compensates for error introduced from the temperature difference.

    Abstract: A method of controlling a windshield wiper assembly with configurable variable sweep angle or variable sweep speed in a vehicle. The method includes operably connecting a bidirectional motor (24, 24') in a vehicle wiper system (10), commanding an operation of the motor (24, 24') in a selected direction at a selected motor speed, the motor speed selected to achieve at least one of a configured wiper arm sweep speed and a configured sweep angle, and selecting at least one of a duration and a motor reversal position for end of sweep to achieve the configured sweep angle for the wiper arm. After at least one of the duration and reaching the motor reversal position, the method includes directing the motor (24, 24') in the opposite direction at another motor speed, the another motor speed selected to achieve another configured wiper arm speed, and repeating the commanding, selecting and directing. Finally, the method includes configuring at least one of the sweep angle, the sweep speed, the duration, the reversal position and the repeating.
