Abstract: A hydrocarbon control system includes a base device, a field device, and a mobile device. The base device includes a key generator configured to generate a temporary key. The field device is configured to restrict or allow access based on verification of a received key. The mobile device is configured to communicate with the base device to receive the temporary key when in proximity of the base device, communicate with the field device to provide the temporary key to the field device when in proximity of the field device, and exchange data with the field device in response to the field device verifying the temporary key.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine including a core having a compressor section fluidly connected to a combustor via a primary flowpath and a turbine section connected to the combustor via the core flow path. An assembly is disposed within the gas turbine engine and includes a first part connected to a second part via a radial stack joint. The first part includes a radially inward facing surface contacting a corresponding radially outward facing surface of the second part. A fastener protrudes through the first part and the second part and is configured to maintain the relative positions of the first part and the second part. A channel is disposed on at least one of the radially inward facing surfaces and is positioned between the fastener and a circumferential edge of the first part. The channel is connected to at least one cooling air source.

Abstract: An automotive electrical system including a wiring harness incorporates the dedicated test line passing through critical connectors and components for allowing detection and isolation of improperly connected connectors. The dedicated test line can feed through expansion connectors, termination connectors, and junction blocks. Connector fault detection and isolation is achieved using time-domain reflectometry after final assembly, during vehicle servicing, or on-board during vehicle usage. A large number of expensive and inconvenient vehicle quits and tow-in's are avoided that would otherwise occur.

Abstract: An automotive electrical system including a wiring harness incorporates a dedicated test line passing through critical connectors and components for allowing detection and isolation of improperly connected connectors. The dedicated test line can feed through expansion connectors, termination connectors, and junction blocks. Connector fault detection and isolation can be performed as a test after final assembly and during vehicle servicing. A large number of expensive and inconvenient vehicle quits and tow-in's are avoided that would otherwise occur.

Abstract: An automotive electrical system including a wiring harness incorporates a dedicated test line passing through critical connectors and components for allowing detection and isolation of improperly connected connectors. The dedicated test line can feed through expansion connectors, termination connectors, and junction blocks. A respective impedance is connected between the dedicated test line and ground at each respective connector. Connector fault detection and isolation is achieved by measuring the total impedance presented at the beginning of the test line. The measured impedance uniquely identifies the locations of any improperly connected connectors.
