Abstract: Pressure-based combustion parameters of an IC engine are determined based on engine cylinder pressure measurements and crank angle dependent cylinder volume data (64), where the pressure in a given engine cylinder (10) is periodically sampled at scheduled crank angles (50) to provide a measurement resolution that varies over the combustion cycle for that cylinder, and the cylinder volume data is retrieved from a table of pre-calculated data (62). The combustion parameter calculations are customized to suit the variable resolution pressure data (64), and the crank angles used to retrieve the pre-calculated cylinder volume data are offset from the scheduled crank angles to compensate for misalignment of the pressure measurements relative to the scheduled engine crank angles (62).

Abstract: An in situ fan case rub strip machining tool (50) mounts to a LPT/fan rotor shaft assembly (22L) of a gas turbine engine (10). After a fan (38) is removed therefrom such that the machining tool (50) is rotatable about an engine axis of rotation (A) in conjunction with rotation of the LPT/fan rotor shaft assembly (22L). The machining tool (50) permits machining of a rub strip (46) within the fan case (42) of the gas turbine engine (10) without disassembly of the fan case (42) from the core engine as heretofore required. As the machining tool (50) is mounted to the LPT/fan rotor shaft assembly (22L), the cutting tool (64) is accurately locatable relative the engine axis of rotation (A) such that the rub strip (46) is evenly and precisely machined to be concentric with the engine axis (A) to assure proper fan blade tip to rub strip interface.

Abstract: A pneumatically operated power tool (1) includes an outer frame (2), a driving components, a pressure reduction valve (26), and a switching valve (33). The outer frame has a compressed air intake portion and defines therein a compressed air chamber (S1). The driving components are disposed in the outer frame and are driven by a compressed air in the compressed air chamber. The pressure reduction valve defines a pressure receiving space (S4) and allows compressed air to flow from the air intake portion to the compressed air chamber and to the pressure receiving space. The switching valve is movable between a first position where the compressed air flows from the compressed air intake portion to the pressure receiving space, and a second position where a communication between the compressed air intake portion and the pressure receiving space is blocked. The pressure reduction valve is configured to set a compressed air pressure in the compressed air chamber to a first pressure level if the switching valve is located at the first position and to set the compressed air pressure to a second pressure level lower than the first pressure level if the switching valve is located at the second position.

Abstract: The invention relates to the field of free space optics or more generally to communication below radio frequencies. Free space optical communication is plagued by interruptions in the connections caused by atmospheric phenomena, such as weather. In the invention, a wireless beam transmission system comprises at least one transmitter (110) and accommodates several wavelengths, and at least one transmission wavelength is arranged to be chosen based on spectral absorption measurements of the atmosphere in the carrier beam path of communication. 
     The invention concerns also a transceiver for repeating wireless optical communication signals. The long range and high reliability of spcctroscopically sensitive light beams at a penetrating frequency in accordance with the invention allow the affordable provisioning of high bandwidth optical or IR communication connections to devices and buildings that were previously either very expensively connected to the fiber optic backbone networks, expensive low bandwidth radio or microwave networks, or unreachable by traditional free space optics solutions.
