Abstract: An aircraft engine nacelle inlet (10) is provided with an inlet cowling (40). The inlet cowling (40) includes an inner lip (16), an outer lip (14) and a leading edge portion (12) connecting the inner and outer lips (16, 14). Heating elements (70a, 70b, 70c, 72) are provided proximate the leading edge (12) , either on an inside surface of the cowling (40) or on an outside surface. An inner barrel portion (32) and an outer barrel portion (36) of the nacelle inlet (10) define a space therebetween. Ice protection-related equipment (27, 28, 29, 74) such as controllers, cables, switches, connectors, and the like, may reside in this space. One or more access openings (38) are formed in the outer barrel (36) to enable an operator to gain access to this equipment. The inlet cowling (40) attaches to the inner and outer barrels (32, 36) with its outer lip (14) extending sufficiently far in the aft direction to cover the access opening (38). When the cowling (40) is removed, the access opening (38) is uncovered, thereby permitting access to the equipment (27, 28, 29, 74).

Abstract: A method of reducing visual artefacts in a blend zone of at least two projector images is provided. The method comprises determining a maximum intensity variance for each pixel group within a blend curve of the blend zone, the maximum intensity variance being based on a blend multiplier selected to achieve a net light intensity specific to the location of the pixel group within the blend curve. For each pixel group, a first adjusted blend multiplier is determined, wherein the blend multiplier is increased by at least a portion of the maximum intensity variance. For each pixel group, a second adjusted blend multipler is also determined, wherein the blend multiplier is decreased by at least a portion of the maximum intensity variance. The light intensity of each pixel in each pixel group is adjusted using the first and second adjusted blend multipliers specific to each pixel group. The average pixel intensity of each pixel group after application of the first and second adjusted blend multipliers remains equal to the net light intensity of the pixel group within the blend curve.
