  • Patent number: 11927141
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for metering fuel in a fuel supply circuit of an aircraft engine, the circuit comprising a metering device for a fuel circuit of an aircraft engine comprising, downstream of a fuel pumping system and upstream of injectors: —a fuel inlet (E), —a metering device (FMV) and a cut-off device (HPSOV) arranged in series, —an adjustment valve (VR) arranged on a fuel recirculation branch, such that any excess fuel supplied by the pumping system is fed back into the fuel circuit, wherein at least one flow-metric sensor (WFM1) is arranged on the recirculation branch, a density value for the metered fuel is determined according to the sensor measurements and the metering device is controlled according to the fuel density value thus determined.

  • Patent number: 8559661
    Abstract: A sound system comprises at least three audio driver arrangements (101, 103, 105) for emitting audio signals. The audio driver arrangements (101, 103, 105) are angled relative to each other to emit sound signals in different directions angled at least 45° apart. A driving unit (201, 203, 205) is provided for each audio driver arrangement (101, 103, 105) to generate a drive signal. The audio driver arrangements (103, 105) angled most relative to each other are arranged to emit audio signals being between 90° and 270° out of phase. The driving arrangement (201) for the third audio driver arrangement (101) has a varying phase response with a variation resulting in the emitted audio signal varying between a first phase interval proximal the signal emitted from a first of the other audio driver arrangements (103) and a second phase interval proximal to the signal emitted from the second of the other audio driver arrangements (105). The invention may e.g.

  • Patent number: 4035725
    Abstract: Passband equalizer in a system for data transmission by means of phase modulation. The equalizer comprises two filters in quadrature with adjustable coefficients. Difference circuits connected to the equalizer output form difference signals between the two quadrature components of the equalizer output signal and the two components of an estimated signal which is especially formed from phase jumps associated with the transmitted data signal. A pair of difference circuits is associated with each pair of corresponding coefficients of the two filters and forms difference signals from both components of the passband signals available in the two filters in places corresponding with the said pair of coefficients. The changes in the coefficients are calculated from the above said difference signals.

  • Patent number: 3980961
    Abstract: Frequency demodulator for a frequency-shift-keying data transmission system, which demodulator comprises, in cascade, a monostable circuit, a lowpass filter and a voltage comparator to which a threshold voltage is applied. The demodulator further comprises a switch which is operated by the monostable circuit and supplies to the lowpass filter either one or the other of two voltages derived from the same supply source and having different polarities. The threshold voltage is fixed at zero and in order to correct the bias distortion one of the said two voltages is adjusted.
