A prognostic and health accuracy maintenance system and method for a system following on-site replacement of a component in the system is provided. A system characterization model of at least portions of the system is generated and embedded within a controller in the system. The system characterization model is adapted to receive a plurality of signals that are each representative of an operational parameter within the system and is responsive to each of the signals to generate simulation response data and determine system health based, at least in part, on the simulation response data. When a component within the system is replaced, a determination is made as to whether the replacement component exhibits one or more operational performance characteristics that differ from the component it replaced. If so, the embedded system characterization model is updated in-situ.

A system and method of monitoring oil consumption in a gas turbine engine system are provided. When the gas turbine engine is not running the reservoir oil level, reservoir oil temperature, and reservoir attitude are sensed. The current gas turbine engine system oil quantity is determined based on at least the sensed reservoir oil level, the sensed reservoir oil temperature, and the sensed reservoir attitude. When a predetermined event has occurred, an average gas turbine engine system oil quantity is automatically calculated. The gas turbine engine system oil consumption rate is determined from a plurality of the average oil quantities.

A data recorder is configured to be mounted to a line replaceable unit (LRU) and utilized in conjunction with a service monitor. The data recorder includes a memory, a processor coupled to the memory and configured to store operational data pertaining to the LRU in the memory, and a monitor interface coupled to the memory. The monitor interface is configured to be coupled to the service monitor to permit access to the operational data stored in the memory.

An actuator mounting assembly includes a cap, a rod, a spring mechanism, and a switch assembly. The cap is adapted to couple to an actuator. The rod extends through the cap and includes a first end adapted to extend through the actuator and a second end adapted to attach to a fixed location. The spring mechanism is disposed in the cap cavity, is compressible, and has a predetermined preload. The switch assembly is disposed in the cap and adapted to sense relative positioning between the rod and the cap and to provide signals based on the sensed relative positioning. When the rod and the cap are in a first relative position, the switch assembly provides a first signal to the actuator to allow the cap to move axially relative to the rod, but when in a second relative position, the switch assembly discontinues providing the first signal to the actuator.
摘要:
A gear assembly is provided for use in a metal housing having a bore formed therein. The gear assembly includes a plurality of rotating gear members and at least one bushing for supporting the plurality of rotating gear members. A wear component, defined by a ring-like structure and including an opening defined therein, is provided. The plurality of rotating gear members are disposed within the opening of the wear component. The wear component is received inside of and in close tolerance with the bore. The wear component is in direct contact with the plurality of rotating gear members thereby minimizing damage to an interior surface of the bore.

摘要:
A semiconducting internal boundary layer ceramic composition having a fine grain structure suitable for use in thin-layer multilayer capacitors is made in one step by firing a mixture comprising a major amount of finely divided strontium titanate, a minor amount of a compound containing either strontium or titanium, or an element functionally equivalent thereto, a minor amount of a semiconductor forming ingredient (dopant), the identity of which depends on whether the mixture is rich in strontium or in titanium, and a minor amount of a counterdopant selected from cuprous oxide or silver oxide. When the mixture is rich in titanium, the chemical doping agent used to produce semiconductivity is an oxide of a trivalent metal selected from bismuth, boron, iron, antimony, lanthanum and the rare earth and transition metals. When the mixture is rich in strontium, the dopant is an oxide of a pentavalent or hexavalent metal selected from tungsten (+6), niobium (+5), tantalum (+5), and molybdenum (+6).
