20090112519 | Foreign object/domestic object damage assessment - A foreign-object/domestic-object damage assessment system for a gas turbine engine comprises a multiplicity of sensors, manifold feature extraction modules, a multiform analysis module, a hybrid operational data store and an operator/maintenance interface. The sensors characterize a multiplicity of engine parameters relating to the gas turbine engine. The feature extraction modules extract manifold features from the multiplicity of engine parameters. The analysis module performs a multiform analysis on the manifold features. The operational data store correlates the manifold features with maintenance actions via a hybrid engine model. The operator/maintenance interface transmits maintenance requests as a function of the multiform analysis, as compared to the hybrid engine model. | 04-30-2009 |
20090240471 | METHOD OF SYSTEM DESIGN FOR FAILURE DETECTABILITY - A system designed for failure detectability through detection and isolation of a particular design feature. | 09-24-2009 |
20090266150 | SENSOR CRITICALITY DETERMINATION PROCESS - A method and system of evaluating the criticality of parameters by evaluating consequences of a loss of capability to determine a desired operating parameter, identification of alternate means of obtaining the parameter, and assigning an importance value to the capability of determining the operating parameter. The resulting evaluation and identification is utilized to direct design and mitigation efforts. | 10-29-2009 |
20100286959 | DEGRADED ACTUATOR DETECTION - An actuator control system is disclosed that includes an actuator continuously movable between multiple positions. The controller is configured to command the actuator to a desired actuator position and to apply the command to an actuator model. The controller is configured to compare the modeled and actual actuator positions to determine if the position difference exceeds a fault detection accommodation limit and if the position difference is within a band that is different than the fault detection accommodation limit. The controller is configured to calculate a threshold, which is based upon an estimated load on the actuator. The controller is configured to calculate a band comprised of the threshold applied to the modeled position and to determine if the actual actuator position is within the calculated band. The threshold is calculated at regular intervals, and a fault is declared if the actual actuator position is outside the band for a number of consecutive intervals. | 11-11-2010 |

20090029774 | Method of entertaining using a mobile entertainment environment - A method for entertaining event attendees involves installing electronic equipment in a mobile entertainment environment and then transporting the mobile electronic environment to an event location. At the event location, event attendees are provided with temporary authorization and access to the mobile entertainment environment and subsequently entertained. At the conclusion of the entertainment, temporary authorization and access is revoked and the mobile electronic environment is removed from the event location. For storage, electronic equipment can be removed from the entertainment environment and placed in a secure location. The mobile entertainment environment preferably is a trailer pulled by a delivery vehicle, such as a pickup truck. The trailer has multiple entry points and contains comfortable seating for event attendees and multiple entertainment stations. At each entertainment station attendees can play games or watch DVDs using one of several gaming systems and their corresponding peripherals. Large video displays and audio equipment enhance the experience at each entertainment station. Interactive gaming can be experienced among multiple players at a single station, among players at different stations, or by connected to the internet for interactive play with remote players. Additional features of the entertainment environment include security cameras, exterior video displays for the benefit of attendees not in the trailer, stabilizers to minimize motion sickness within the trailer, and a video controller for providing master control of all of the video displays. | 01-29-2009 |
