Patent GB-2584294-A (GB)
Title: Wireless communication
Inventor: HOWARD LEE JACKSON
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 2019-05-28
Abstract: An invention concerning communication between a rotary wing platform (e.g. helicopter) and a ground terminal via a satellite. A forward link signal transmitted by the satellite is received at the rotary wing platform. Obstruction characteristics are estimated. Obstruction characteristics are based on obstructions caused by the rotary wing platform rotor blades when receiving a forward link signal at the aircraft from the satellite. Time periods during which obstruction characteristics indicate that the signal transmission path will not be obstructed by the blades of the rotary wing platform are determined. Carrier return link signal bursts are transmitted to the satellite which comprise a plurality of bursts, wherein each burst is transmitted during one of the determined time periods. Return link signals are received at the ground terminal and parts of the received return signal that do not correspond to bursts are identified and discarded. Signal strength indicators may be determined and compared to thresholds to determine transmission path obstructions. Obstruction characteristics may be determined by operating adaptive filters to model signal transmission paths. Modelling may predict current or future transmission path states. Bursts may be queued for later transmission. Error correction and Frequency hopping may also be incorporated.

IPC: H02K7/18
Filed: 2019-06-12
Abstract: In a gas turbine engine having a high-pressure (HP) spool and a low-pressure (LP) spool, a method of increasing compression efficiency at a given thrust, comprising transferring mechanical power from the HP spool to the LP spool to reduce a corrected speed of a HP compressor and raise a working line of a LP compressor. Preferably, mechanical power is electrically transferred from a first electric machine (117, figure 2) operating as a generator and drivingly connected to the HP spool, to a second electric machine (119) drivingly connected to the LP spool. The method may be invoked when unsteady inlet flow detected, or when inlet distortion is detected. Both electric machines may be capable of operating as a motor and generator, i.e. as motor-generators. Power may be transferred from the first electric machine to the second electric machine via one or more power conversion stages.
