    摘要: Examples described herein provide a computer-implemented method that includes monitoring a hybrid electric turbine engine of an aircraft, the hybrid electric turbine engine including a first electric machine associated with a high speed spool and a second electric machine associated with a low speed spool. The method further includes receiving an indication of a failed electric machine, the failed electric machine being an electric machine on another hybrid electric turbine engine of the aircraft. The method further includes, responsive to detecting the failed electric machine, distributing power from one or more of the first electric machine or the second electric machine to a spool associated with the failed electric machine.

    摘要: A system of a machine includes a network of nodes distributed throughout the machine. Each of the nodes is operable to communicate using a plurality of electromagnetic signals. A controller is operable to communicate with the nodes using electromagnetic signals. The system also includes a plurality of waveguides configured to guide transmission of the electromagnetic signals between the controller and one or more of the nodes. A radio frequency-based repeater is coupled to at least two of the waveguides in the network between the controller and at least one of the nodes. The radio frequency-based repeater is configured to operate using power extracted from at least one of the electromagnetic signals when a signal-to-noise ratio is above a threshold, and the radio frequency-based repeater is configured to use energy stored in an onboard energy storage system when the signal-to-noise ratio is below the threshold.

    摘要: A system of a machine includes a first node and a second node configured to establish a first communication path through a waveguide system to guide a radio frequency transmission between the first node and the second node in the machine. The system also includes a third node and a fourth node configured to establish a second communication path in the machine. The first node is grouped with the third node as a first node group, and the second node is grouped with the fourth node as a second node group such that the second communication path provides a redundant communication path with respect to the first communication path for communication between the first node group and the second node group.
