Abstract: Based upon a measured first resistance, a first delta curve is selected. Based upon a measured second resistance, a second delta curve is selected. A first fuel valve position (FVP) is received from a first position sensor, and the first FVP is applied to the first delta curve to obtain a first offset. A second FVP is received from a second position sensor, and the second FVP is applied to the second delta curve to obtain a second offset. The first offset is applied to the first measured FVP to obtain the first compensated FVP and the second offset is applied to the second measured FVP to obtain the second compensated FVP. The first compensated FVP and the second compensated FVP are correlated to obtain a final compensated FVP, which is applied to a desired fuel valve position to obtain a final fuel valve position.

In particular, a dual-winding rotating field machine (200) in which the stator (140) includes two separate windings can be provided. In one example implementation, the stator (140) can include an excitation winding (220) configured to control an excitation current and a power winding (230) configured to control power flow to an electrical system. The dual-winding rotating field machine (200) can further include a starting mode and a generating mode. During the starting mode, both the excitation winding (220) and the power winding (230) can be coupled to one or more switching power converters (170). During the generating mode, the power winding (230) can be coupled to a variable frequency bus and the power converter (170) can be used to manage excitation power only.

Abstract: A gearbox assembly includes a gear assembly that includes a planet gear, a pin disposed within the planet gear, a first sensor, and a second sensor. The first sensor is disposed within the pin and is configured to produce a signal indicative of a strain of the pin. The second sensor is disposed within the pin and is configured to produce a signal indicative of a vibration of the pin. Another gearbox assembly includes a gear assembly including a planet gear, a pin disposed within the planet gear, and a strain sensor. The strain sensor is disposed within the pin and is configured to produce a signal indicative of a strain of the pin. The strain sensor is located within the pin at a circumferential location of the pin that is opposite to a location of a force acting on the pin when the planet gear rotates about the pin.
