摘要: A propeller alignment device is described. The propeller alignment device can include a second retainer attached to a propeller and a motor. The propeller alignment device can also include a first retainer that does not rotate, but that is aligned with the second retainer. The first retainer can include two or more magnets oppositely orientated relative to each other. The second retainer can also include two or more magnets oppositely orientated relative to each other. As the second retainer rotates relative to the first retainer, the magnets alternatingly align with each other. In the absence of a current applied to the motor, the magnets may magnetically bias the second retainer into a predetermined orientation relative to the first retainer.

摘要: A gate drive circuit includes a lower limit clamping circuit, an upper limit clamping circuit, and an averaging circuit. The lower limit clamping circuit clamps the input node of a transistor at a minimum voltage with respect to the common node of the transistor, while the upper limit clamping circuit clamps the input node of the transistor at a maximum voltage with respect to the common node of the transistor and the averaging circuit sets the average voltage of the input node with respect to the common node over a specified period of time. The transistor including a common node, an output node and an input node receives the input signal. Controlling the upper limit, lower limit and average value in conjunction with fast transitions between the lower and upper limits controls the duty cycle of the input signal.

The first retainer can include two or more magnets oppositely orientated relative to each other. The second retainer can also include two or more magnets oppositely orientated relative to each other. As the second retainer rotates relative to the first retainer, the magnets may alternatingly align with each other. In the absence of a current applied to the motor, the magnets may magnetically bias the second retainer into a predetermined orientation relative to the first retainer. The predetermined orientation can be predetermined to correspond to an alignment of the propeller that is desirable (e.g., that minimizes aerodynamic drag on the propeller).

摘要: Apparatus and methods for generating electrical power for powering a device associated with a bladed rotor driven by a gas turbine engine of an aircraft are disclosed. The apparatus includes a rotor shaft coupled the bladed rotor of the aircraft and driven by a turbine shaft of the engine via a speed-reducing gear train. A speed-augmenting power transfer device has an input coupled to the rotor shaft and an output for outputting a rotation speed higher than a rotation speed of the rotor shaft received at the input of the speed-augmenting power transfer device. An electric generator disposed in a hub of the bladed rotor is coupled to the output of the speed-augmenting power transfer device and configured to generate electrical power for the device associated with the bladed rotor.

摘要: A brush wear indicating arrangement is provided. The brush wear indicating arrangement includes an insert, a first electrically conductive brush, and a wear indicator. The insert is disposed within a brush block housing and defines a first aperture. The first electrically conductive brush is movably engaged within the first aperture. The electrically conductive brush is configured to move outward from the first aperture as a wear surface of the first electrically conductive brush wears. The wear indicator is coupled to the first electrically conductive brush. The wear indicator is configured to extend beyond a first insert face of the insert as wear condition of the wear surface of the first electrically conductive brush exceeds a wear threshold.
