Abstract: A steering angle detecting apparatus includes a steering angle sensor and a diagnostic unit. The steering angle sensor includes two relative steering angle detectors and an absolute steering angle processor. The two relative steering angle detectors detect a plurality of two relative steering angles. The absolute steering angle processor calculates absolute steering angles. The diagnostic unit determines whether an angular signal indicating an absolute steering angle of the absolute steering angles is outputted from the absolute steering angle processor. The diagnostic unit stores a latest absolute steering angle, determines which of the two relative steering angle detectors outputs one of the two relative steering angles, and, where one of the two relative steering angle detectors is determined as outputting the one of the two relative steering angles, update the latest absolute steering angle by adding outputted one of the two relative steering angles to the stored latest absolute steering angle.

Abstract: An assembly for mounting an auxiliary component to an engine case for a gas turbine engine includes a support bracket and a locator. The locator includes a fusible guide pin extending at least partially into a first aperture disposed in the support bracket, and a catcher pin extending at least partially into a second aperture disposed in the support bracket. The fusible guide pin is configured to fracture to absorb energy while the catcher pin limits system displacement during and post an overload event, thus reducing the energy transmitted to the auxiliary component (e.g., a gearbox housing). The locator can further include an anti-rotation pin extending from the plate member and configured to be received by the auxiliary component. The anti-rotation pin prevents rotation of the locator, about a third pin of the locator, with respect to the auxiliary component when the fusible guide pin is broken.

The system includes a primary electronic control module (ECM), which monitors engine sensors and contains a first three-dimensional fuel map for the liquid fuel. A second ECM is connected for bi-directional transfer of information to the first ECM, the second ECM contains a second three-dimensional fuel map for delivery of the gaseous fuel through a secondary gaseous fuel injection assembly. The bi-directional communication between the two ECMs while monitoring the engine sensors allows both ECMs to “learn” an efficient fuel map for delivery of both fuels in the same cycle for improved efficiency, reduction in slip and lower emissions.
