The invention relates to a water extinguishing system (1) with a fluid supply (20), a pump (30) and a test line (40) with an opening element (2) which is configured to open the test line (40) during a test run of the pump (30). According to the invention, the test line (40) further comprises a closing element (4) which is configured to close the test line (40) if the water extinguishing system (1) is triggered.

Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods to provide wind sensor motion compensation for wind sensors mounted to moving platforms. A wind sensor motion compensation system may include a wind sensor, a wind sensor accelerometer, one or more additional sensors, actuators, controllers, user interfaces, and/or other modules mounted to or in proximity to a vehicle. The wind sensor motion compensation system may be implemented with one or more logic devices adapted to receive sensor signals and determine a sensor-motion compensated wind velocity. The logic devices may be adapted to receive a wind sensor acceleration and a relative wind velocity from a wind sensor, determine a wind sensor velocity from the wind sensor acceleration, and determine a sensor-motion compensated relative wind velocity from the wind sensor velocity and the relative wind velocity.

Mass flow controllers and methods for controlling mass flow rates are disclosed. A mass flow controller includes a pressure value measurement means that measures one or two or more pressure values derived from pressure P1 of fluid on an upstream side of a pressure difference generate means and pressure P2 of the fluid on a downstream side of the pressure difference generate means, an acceleration means accelerates time variation of the obtained pressure values, a flow meter calculates a flow rate of the fluid based on a pressure value obtained according to the accelerated time variation (accelerated pressure value), and a flow control valve controls the flow rate of the fluid based on the calculated flow rate.

A method for estimating a drilling fluid flow rate in a subterranean wellbore includes processing an acquired gamma ray spectrum in combination with standard elemental spectra and at least one standard oxygen activation spectrum to compute an oxygen activation yield. The oxygen activation yield is further processed to estimate a drilling fluid flow rate and or to infer a borehole diameter change or a lost circulation event. The gamma ray spectrum is acquired using a logging string employing a neutron source and a natural gamma ray sensor.

Methods and systems for detecting and identifying faults in air-cooled systems are provided. The systems and methods may utilize a prediction model based on an energy balance relationship. In certain methods, one or more measured parameters associated with the air-cooled system may be compared with corresponding parameters generated by the prediction model. One or more faults may be detected and identified based upon deviations between the measured and detected system parameters.

An electric oil pump control method for operating a transmission of a hybrid vehicle which is driven by a first motor, a second motor, and an engine is provided. The method includes determining a number of revolutions of a low-pressure pump of an electric oil pump based on lubrication flow amount of the first motor, lubrication flow amount of the second motor, cooling flow amount of the first motor, and cooling flow amount of the second motor and determining a number of revolutions of a high-pressure pump of the electric oil pump based on control flow amount of a clutch of the transmission and lubrication flow amount of a rotation driver included in the transmission. A maximum value is determined of the determined number of revolutions of the low-pressure pump and the determined number of revolutions of the high-pressure pump as a number of revolutions of the electric oil pump.

A static gas flowmeter for sensing a flow of gas includes an outer housing, a flow tube coupled to an outlet or an inlet, ≥1 sensor positioned for sensing gas flowing through the flow tube, and a controller including a memory including a flow calibration and flow measurement algorithm coupled to a sensor receiving a sensing signal. An integrated gas valve is connected to the inlet or outlet and/or there is an additional external valve positioned outside the housing coupled to the inlet to provide the gas flowmeter at least two state operation. Using the valve(s), the flow calibration algorithm triggers a zero-flow condition, then obtains a measured gas flow, and from the measured gas flow a flow offset is determined. If the flow offset is outside a predetermined limit, in-line calibrating is performed by adding the flow offset reflected as a correction factor to the flow measurement algorithm.
