  • Patent number: 11840968
    Abstract: An aspect includes a method for motoring control for multiple engines of an aircraft is provided. A controller can determine a motoring time of a first engine starting system to cool a first engine. The controller can compare the motoring time of the first engine starting system with a motoring time of one or more other engine starting systems of one or more other engines of the aircraft. The motoring time of the first engine starting system can be controlled relative to a tolerance of the motoring time of the one or more other engine starting systems by adjusting the motoring time of the first engine starting system relative to the one or more other engine starting systems in a motoring sequence based on comparing the motoring time of the first engine starting system with the motoring time of the one or more other engine starting systems.

  • Patent number: 11142329
    Abstract: An aspect includes a system for pre-start motoring control for multiple engines of an aircraft. The system includes a first engine starting system of a first engine and a controller. The controller is operable to control a motoring time of the first engine starting system relative to one or more other engine starting systems of one or more other engines of the aircraft by adjusting the motoring time of the first engine starting system within a tolerance of the motoring time of the one or more other engine starting systems in a pre-start motoring sequence.

  • Patent number: 10618666
    Abstract: An aspect includes a system for pre-start motoring synchronization for multiple engines of an aircraft. The system includes a first engine starting system of a first engine and a controller. The controller is operable to synchronize a motoring time of the first engine starting system with one or more other engine starting systems of one or more other engines of the aircraft by extending the motoring time of the first engine starting system to match, within a synchronization tolerance, the motoring time of the one or more other engine starting systems in a pre-start motoring sequence.

  • Patent number: 5845091
    Abstract: A method for filtering an internetwork packet wherein multiple paths to a destination network are provided. The method comprises the step of providing a forwarding list that comprises a plurality of entries selected by a user. The forwarding list indicates a plurality of possible paths to a selected destination. One of the entries is selected by the user as a primary entry that indicates a default path. When an internetwork packet is destined for the destination network is received, the packet is forwarded to the destination network via the default path if the primary entry indicates a valid path. Otherwise, the packet is forwarded to the destination network via another path as indicated by another entry. According to an alternative embodiment, a different forwarding list is provided for each subnetwork of a source network, and the forwarding list is selected based on the source address of the packet.

  • Patent number: 5740375
    Abstract: A method for filtering and forwarding local broadcast traffic across network boundaries. According to one embodiment, the method comprises the step of providing a broadcast list for a source network wherein the broadcast list includes at least one entry that specifies a network address. When a local broadcast packet is received from the source network, a copy of the local broadcast packet is made for each entry in the broadcast to produce a copied packet. The destination address of each copied packet is replaced with a corresponding destination address of a broadcast list to produce a modified packet, and the modified packets are transmitted such that the modified packets are delivered to networks specified by the broadcast list.

  • Patent number: 4993450
    Abstract: A cover for an outside pipe assembly having a molded fiberglass cover portion connected to a molded fiberglass base portion. The base portion is secured to the ground surrounding the pipe assembly, and a layer of insulation is provided on the interior wall surfaces of the base portion and cover portion to thereby prevent damage to the pipe assembly due to freezing or vandalism.
