Abstract: Systems (100) and methods for performing module-based diagnostics are
described. In an exemplary embodiment, sensor values (12) from an actual
engine plant are input to an engine component quality estimator (14) which
generates performance estimates of major rotating components. Estimated
performance differences are generating by comparing the generated
performance estimates to a nominal quality engine. The estimated
performance differences, which are indicative of component quality, are
continuously updated and input to a real-time model (16) of the engine. The
model receives operating conditional data and the quality estimates are used
to adjust the nominal values in the model to more closely match the model
values to the actual plant. Outputs from the engine model are virtual
parameters, such as stall margins, specific fuel consumption, and
fan/compressor/turbine efficiencies. The virtual parameters are combined
with the sensor values from the actual engine plant in a fault detection and
isolation classifier (22) to identify abnormal conditions and/or specific fault
classes, and output a diagnosis (108).

IPC: G06F13/368
Filed: 1993-12-16
Abstract: A bus arbitration scheme is implemented in a system where an arbitrary assembly of nodes on a system bus have been resolved into an acyclic directed graph. The hierarchical arrangement of nodes has one node designated a root while all other nodes have established parent/child relationships with the nodes to which they are linked. Each node may have a plurality of connected child ports with a predetermined acknowledgement priority scheme established. Fair bus access arbitration provides for bus granting in a sequence corresponding to the predetermined port priorities allowing all nodes a turn on the bus. The root node may always asserts its priority access status to gain bus access which is useful for accommodating a root node which requires isochronous data transfer. Alternatively, a token passing arbitration scheme may be implemented where the token for bus access is passed around the nodes according to the above-described predetermined port priority scheme. Preemptive bus initilialization may be triggered by any node upon detection of a necessitating error or addition or removal of a connection to an existing node.

stationary tooth (14) that is approximately in the same
radial plane as a tooth (12) on a rotatable shaft (10), with
the sealing action resulting from both a controlled clearance
gap between the two teeth (14, 12) and from the momentum of
liquid travelling outwards from the rotating tooth (12)
making it difficult for the liquid to turn to go axially
through the gap (15) between the rotating tooth (12) and the
stationary tooth (14). The seal may also comprise a
