Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein use a multi-color pyrometer configured to determine a first temperature in a high temperature range and a single-color pyrometer configured to determine second temperature in a low temperature range. The system uses information gained from determination of the first temperature in the high temperature range to facilitate later determining the second temperature in the low temperature range. The first temperature in the high temperature range and the second temperature in the low temperature range are used to monitor and control different engine operations that occur at different times.

Abstract: A system for sensing the position of a movable object includes a polarization maintaining fiber configured to receive light from a light source; an optical system configured to rotate an angle of polarization of the light by a first predetermined angle; a low birefringence fiber connected to the optical system at a first end and having a mirror connected to a second end configured to reflect the light and rotate the angle of polarization at a second predetermined angle, the second end being configured to overlap a magnetic field of the a magnet attached to the object. The angle of polarization is rotated to a third predetermined angle proportional to at least one of the strength of the magnetic field and an amount of the overlap. The optical system is configured to decompose the third predetermined angle into a first component and a second component. A detector is configured to detect a differential between the first and second components indicative of the amount of the overlap.

Abstract: A system for measuring torque for a gas turbine engine shaft is provided. The system can include a torque sensor positioned at an engine shaft. The torque sensor, itself, can include a strain sensor for obtaining a strain measurement of the engine shaft and a temperature sensor for obtaining a temperature measurement of the engine shaft. The system can also include a wireless communication element operably connected to the torque sensor for transferring the strain measurement and the temperature measurement. In addition, one or more memory storage units co-located with the torque sensor can be provided. The one or more memory storage units can store calibration information for the system. The calibration information is used by one or more processors to calibrate the strain measurement obtained by the strain and the temperature measurement obtained by the temperature sensor. Methods of using the system are also provided.

Abstract: Techniques for using a pyrometer to measure one or more operating characteristics of a target are provided. In one example aspect, a pyrometer is oriented relative to a target having target elements spaced from one another such that, as the target is rotated, the pyrometer alternately i) senses a target element for a period of time; and ii) then does not sense any of the target elements for a period of time as no appreciable signal is received. The pyrometer generates an output signal having alternating target pulse widths and null widths. The target and null widths have different amplitudes. The amplitude of the null signal provides an amplitude baseline for which the amplitudes of the target widths or signals may be compared to so that a temperature or other operating characteristic associated with the target can be determined.
