  • In-situ measurement logging by wireless communication unit for communicating engine data
    Patent number: 11061394
    Abstract: Systems and methods for recording and communicating engine data are provided. One example aspect of the present disclosure is directed to a method for monitoring performance. The method includes receiving, by one or more computing devices, a measurement from a sensor. The method includes assigning, by the one or more computing devices, a time to the measurement. The method includes storing, by the one or more computing devices, the received measurement and the assigned time to a file. The method includes transmitting, by the one or more computing devices, the file to a remove computing device associated with a ground system.
    Type: Grant

  • Antenna diagnostics for wireless communication unit for communicating engine data
    Patent number: 10712377
    Abstract: Systems and methods for recording and communicating engine data are provided. One example embodiment is directed to a method for performing diagnostics on an antenna in communication with a wireless communication unit located in a nacelle of an aerial vehicle engine. The method includes receiving, by one or more computing devices, a voltage from a diagnostic circuit for the antenna. The method includes determining, by the one or more computing devices, a change in a magnitude of the received voltage. The method includes determining, by the one or more computing devices, a condition of the antenna based on the change in the magnitude of the voltage.

  • Laser device with a convergent reflector topology
    Patent number: 8983814
    Abstract: A laser device, having an optical cavity containing a gain medium, a total reflectance reflector positioned within the optical cavity, and a partial reflectance reflector positioned within the optical cavity in a juxtaposed relationship to the total reflectance reflector. The topology of the reflectors are defined by a convergent reflector topology function that converges light emitted within the optical cavity to a laser beam that exits the optical cavity through the partial reflectance reflector by a series of reflections between the total reflectance reflector and the partial reflectance reflector. The laser beam emitted from the optical cavity has a predefined pattern for a given convergent reflector topology.
