Respective outputs of the output blocks are connected together and form an output of the buffer circuit. The output blocks are arranged in a sequence and are binary weighted such that a drive strength of a given one of the output blocks is about twice as large as a drive strength of an output block immediately preceding the given output block. Each of the predrivers selectively enables the corresponding output block connected thereto as a function of a control signal supplied to the predriver for compensating the buffer circuit for PVT variations to which the buffer circuit may be subjected. The respective control signals supplied to the predrivers collectively represent a binary code word, the binary code word in the second mode being equivalent to an arithmetic shift of the binary code word in the first mode. | 01-01-2009 |

| 20080199302 | Fuel pump for engine - A fuel pump includes a bearing element disposed in proximity to an impeller. The bearing element is configured to form a fuel seal with the impeller and to drain fuel leaked from the pump chamber back into the pump chamber.

| 20090058183 | Power source for aircraft engine controller systems - An aircraft engine power distribution system for an aircraft engine controller, such as a FADEC, is provided where the power source is independent from the conventional airframe power system, without the need for a back-up battery. The aircraft engine power distribution system includes a magnetic generator operated by an aircraft engine. The aircraft engine power distribution system also includes a power distributor that rectifies the generator output and provides the rectified power to the engine controller as its primary source of power. In this configuration, as long as the aircraft engine is able to operate the magnetic generator, the engine controller receives power. Accordingly, the engine controller operates regardless of the operational status of the airframe power system. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090078027 | Aircraft engine cylinder assembly knock detection and suppression system - An aircraft engine includes a cylinder assembly knock detection and suppression system. The knock detection and control system includes a set of knock detection sensors and an engine controller. Each cylinder assembly of the aircraft engine carries a knock detection sensor and each knock detection sensor is electrically coupled to the engine controller. During operation, each knock detection sensor transmits signals to the engine controller where the signals correspond to detected cylinder assembly vibrations. As the engine controller receives input signals from the sensors, the engine controller filters the input signals to distinguish the input signals as being associated with either knocking or as a non-knock event. In the case where the engine controller detects the occurrence of one or more knock events in a particular cylinder assembly, the engine controller automatically reduces the spark timing for that cylinder assembly and/or increases the volume of fuel delivered to that cylinder assembly. | 03-26-2009 |
