Validation tool for an aircraft engine monitoring system
A tool for validation of a system for monitoring at least one piece of equipment in an aircraft engine, also comprising a computer configured to: collect observation data related to the equipment, calculate a current value of at least one quality indicator on a current quantity of observation data, estimate the probability that the current value of the quality indicator reaches a predetermined reliability criterion, thus forming a probabilistic reliability law, and estimate a minimum quantity of observation data from the probabilistic reliability law, starting from which the value of the quality indicator reaches a predetermined reliability criterion with a probability exceeding a predetermined value.
Status information display device for wheeled work vehicle, maintenance-screen display method for wheeled work vehicle, and maintenance-screen display program for wheeled work vehicle
A state information display for a wheel-type working vehicle includes: a state information displaying unit that displays plural kinds of state information of the wheel-type working vehicle; and a display controller that controls display of the state information displaying unit. The display controller includes: a standard screen displaying unit that displays the plural kinds of state information in the form of a standard screen during an operation of the wheel-type working vehicle; a maintenance/inspection screen switching unit that switches from the standard screen to a maintenance/inspection screen for the wheel-type working vehicle to be displayed in response to a predetermined dedicated operation; and a speed information displaying unit that displays speed information of the wheel-type working vehicle in any one of areas defined in the maintenance/inspection screen when the maintenance/inspection screen is switched to be displayed by the maintenance/inspection screen switching unit.
Method and system for maintaining stability of system of fuel cell vehicle
A method and system for maintaining stability of a system of a fuel cell vehicle are provided to prevent malfunction of sensors of a low voltage DC-DC converter and the respective controllers. A start timing of a fault diagnosis for the low voltage DC-DC converter and the respective controllers is determined and a deviation between voltages of the sensors of the low voltage DC-DC converter and the respective controllers is detected to determine whether the low voltage DC-DC converter and the respective controllers fail.
Servicing assisting system for shock struts with negative dead volume
System and methods for servicing and monitoring shock struts are provided. A shock strut servicing assistance system may comprise: a controller in electronic communication with a display; and a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the controller, the tangible, non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the controller, cause the controller to perform operations comprising: calculating, by the controller, a dead volume of a shock strut and determining, by the controller, a first decision, the first decision being whether or not the dead volume of the shock strut is negative. A shock strut servicing assistance system may be for servicing a shock strut having a negative dead volume.
Gas turbine engine mounting arrangement
A failsafe pin for providing a backup load path for attaching a gas turbine engine to an aircraft structure is provided with a driving element that allows a torque to be provided to the pin in order to check whether the pin has been engaged, and thus whether a primary load path has failed. The pin is provided with anti-tamper arrangements in order to ensure that the pin itself is not compromised when being tested for engagement.
