  • Publication number: 20140172925
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer readable storage media for providing a reference to a content object in a user interface using an on-demand database service. A computing device can receive data regarding identification of a content object, where the content object is stored in a data repository external to the on-demand database service. The data regarding the content object can be stored in a persistent object in a database of the on-demand database service. A reference can be provided representing the persistent object to a display device operable to display the reference in a user interface when the display device accesses the on-demand database service. One or more graphical representations can be exposed regarding the content object for display in the user interface by the display device, where the exposed graphical representations depend at least in part on the data repository.

  • Publication number: 20080302081
    Abstract: A method of detecting an ice shedding event in a gas turbine engine, the engine having a rotor comprising a compressor drivingly connected via a shaft to a turbine; the method for detecting an ice shedding event comprising the steps of measuring the temperature at regular intervals and where a temperature drop of at least 20 degrees per second is recorded, producing a signal indicative of an ice shedding event and sending the signal to an indicator device. Advantageously, the engine may then be inspected for damage associated to an ice impact rather than other foreign object ingestion event or fuel flow irregularity. Alternatively, instead of temperature, pressure may be measured and a pressure drop of at least 20 kPa per second is indicative of an ice shedding event.
