System and method for monitoring temperature of a gas turbine engine
A method and system for monitoring a temperature of a gas turbine engine are described. The method comprises obtaining individual sensor readings from functioning temperature sensors of a sensor array, where a number of the functioning temperature sensors is less than a total number of temperature sensors in the sensor array; applying correction factors to the individual sensor readings of the functioning temperature sensors based on deviations of the individual sensor readings from a total average temperature of all the temperature sensors in the array, to obtain corrected individual sensor readings; and determining a corrected total average temperature as a sum of the corrected individual sensor readings divided by the number of functioning temperature sensors.
PUMP SENSOR SYSTEM
A device, system, and methods are provided for remotely monitoring pump equipment. A sensor device is provided as a one-piece unit that is mechanically mounted to a pump by a single threaded connection. The sensor device includes a vibration sensor and temperature sensor.

METHODS OF MEASURING REAL-TIME JUNCTION TEMPERATURE IN SILICON CARBIDE POWER MOSFET DEVICES USING TURN-ON DELAY, RELATED CIRCUITS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS
A method of measuring a junction temperature of a SiC MOSFET can be provided by applying a gate-source voltage to an external gate loop coupled to a gate of the SiC MOSFET, detecting a first time when the gate-source voltage exceeds a first value configured to disable conduction of a current in a drain of the SiC MOSFET, detecting, after the first time, a second time when a voltage across a common source inductance in a package of the SiC MOSFET indicates that the current in the drain is greater than a reference value, defining a time interval from the first time to the second time as a turn on delay time of the SiC MOSFET and determining the junction temperature for the SiC MOSFET using the turn on delay time.
