  • Patent number: 7168913
    Abstract: A turbojet includes a differential gear with a first planetary pinion driven by the shaft of the high pressure spool and a second planetary pinion driven by the shaft of the low pressure spool. The planetary pinions drive satellite pinions mounted in a cage by which the ancillary machines are driven. The satellite pinions and said cage are co-rotary and the mechanical transmission ratio R1 between the high pressure shaft and the first planetary pinion of the differential gear and the transmission ratio R2 between the low pressure shaft and the second planetary pinion of the differential gear are such that the power extraction distribution between the high pressure spool and the low pressure spool at idle speed is between 80%/20% and 20%/80%. The operation of the high pressure compressor is not affected by the maximum power drawn by the ancillary machines.

  • Patent number: 7171670
    Abstract: A system, method and program product for diagnosing, controlling and collecting information from devices. Information regarding events of each one of a plurality of target applications executing in an application unit is collected and formatted into one of multiple data formats for transmission through one of multiple communication protocols at the request of each of the target applications, through an interface. A combination of a data format and communication protocol requested by a target application is verified for validity. If the requested combination is invalid, a valid combination is substituted for more reliable transmission. The formatted data is transmitted through, e.g., e-mail or FTP to a predetermined destination or may be saved to local storage, e.g., a local disk. By sharing resources, code duplication is reduced or eliminated.

  • Patent number: 7170342
    Abstract: A combined signal of a digital pilot signal and a digital transmission signal is applied to a digital predistorter (20), wherein it is added with odd-order distortions based on a power series model to generate a predistorted signal, then the predistorted signal is converted by a DA converter (31) to an analog signal, then the analog signal is upconverted by a frequency upconverting part (33) to a send frequency band, and the upconverted signal is output after being amplified by a power amplifier (37). A pilot signal component is extracted from the power amplifier output, then odd-order distortion components of the power series model are extracted by a digital predistorter control part (50) from the pilot signal component, and the odd-order distortions in the digital predistorter (20) are controlled to decrease the levels of the distortion components.
