  • Patent number: 7339119
    Abstract: A harness outlet structure of an engine permitting a reliable shield at a harness outlet of the engine. The structure includes a wiring harness is clamped by a shield cover and an engine main body via a grommet bracket. The grommet bracket includes a groove having a width equivalent to the thickness of the shield cover disposed circumferentially between two flange portions of the grommet bracket. A harness overall for shielding the wiring harness is mounted externally on a proximal end of the grommet bracket. The harness overall is a shield outer jacket body formed from braided metal fibers. The harness overall is inserted over an outside of the proximal end of the grommet bracket until one end of the harness overall contacts the flange portion. The harness overall is then joined by a coupling ring.

  • Patent number: 7299121
    Abstract: An electronic control device is provided for an aviation engine. Each cylinder of the engine is equipped with main ignition plugs and back-up ignition plugs. Lane A including a first CPU and lane B including a second CPU are included in an ECU. The ignition control system is multiplexed by the two lanes A, B. The first and second CPU independently calculate ignition timing for each cylinder based on each sensor signal, and then exchange the results of these calculations with each other. At each cylinder, ignition timing is synchronized in such a manner that ignition timing of the main ignition plugs and ignition timing of the back-up ignition plugs match. The electronic control device so configured has a high level of redundancy with a small number of CPU's. Thus, electronic control device can be provided for the aviation engine with few limitations placed in relation to installation location.
