    摘要: An architecture that provides automatic monitoring of brake conditions making use of a wear pin (1) on a brake. The embodiment makes use of the fact that a wear pin is required to be provided on an aircraft brake, by integrating monitoring functions such as displacement sensors (15) and/or temperature sensors (14), into the pin (1). This means that the automatic monitoring components are not taking up more space on the brake than is already taken up by the compulsory wear pin.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a sensing device 10 for monitoring aircraft brake assemblies, in particular the sensing device is for monitoring wear and/or temperature of the aircraft brake assembly. The device comprises a housing 14 rigidly connected to the chassis of the aircraft brake assembly, wherein the housing comprises a displacement sensor 26. The device further comprises a pin 12, 15, 16 extending through the housing with a first end 22 configured to move with a pressure plate 18 of the aircraft brake assembly such that, in use, the pin is configured to move relative to the housing 14 in a longitudinal direction of the pin. The pin comprises a detectable element 28 positioned within the housing, and the displacement sensor 26 is configured to monitor the position of the detectable element 28 within the housing. The present invention also extends to an aircraft brake assembly comprising the sensing device, and a method of monitoring wear and/or temperature using the sensing device.

    摘要: A method for identifying and managing a power overload condition of devices located in a power network of an environment is described herein. The method comprises, via a controller, accessing and receiving a plurality of measurements from a plurality of devices and/or locations within the environment, detecting an overall overload condition on said plurality of devices, and if said overload condition is detected, actuating, or controlling a power consumption of said one or more devices, such that said overload condition is reduced, and said method further comprising, via said controller, monitoring said overload condition and automatically detecting when said overload condition has cleared.

    摘要: A power and energy management, PEM, method for managing power consumed by a plurality of power devices on a network, the scheme comprising: a first network monitoring step (S1) to determine whether power and energy management is required based on the power available on the network and the power consumption of the power devices on the network; a status monitor step (S2) to determine the operating status of each of the power devices on the network; a step (S4) of determining a coordination strategy for operating the power devices on the network in response to a determination in the first network monitoring step that power energy management is required; a step (S5) of determining a coordination strategy for recharging of any storage devices on the network in response to a determination in the first network monitoring step that power energy management is not required; and controlling (S6) devices on the network to operate at a power consumption level and/or to recharge based on the above steps.

    摘要: A power and energy management system, PEMS, architecture for managing power consumed by a plurality of power devices on a network, the architecture comprising: one or more local supervisors (11, 12, 13) each arranged to be connected in digital communication with one or more of the power devices (10) on the network; each local supervisor comprising: an input (CONTROL ERROR) to receive a control error signal indicative of a difference between the power consumption of the one or more devices and power available on the network for those devices; a watchdog module (120) configured to receive the control error signal and to determine from the control error signal whether there is a need for PEMS action on the network; a status monitor (130) configured to obtain information as to the operating status of the one or more power devices; a coordinator module (150) configured to define a coordination strategy for operating selected devices of the one or more devices based on the determination from the watchdog module and the information obtained by the status module; and a control action module (160) arranged to provide a set point to selected devices of the one or more devices to operate according to the coordination strategy determined by the coordinator module.
