Abstract: A method for thermally-sensitive coating analysis of a component includes imaging the coated, exposed component over a range of distinct frequencies as selected by a narrowband variable filter; estimating parameters of non-uniformity correction (NUC) for every pixel at every wavelength; constructing a 2D temperature map on a pixel-by-pixel basis using the non-uniformity correction; and mapping the 2D temperature map to a 3D computer aided design (CAD) model.

Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling a fluid based engineering system are disclosed. The systems and methods may include a model processor for generating a model output, the model processor including a set state module for setting dynamic states of the model processor, the dynamic states input to an open loop model based on the model operating mode, where the open loop model generates current state derivatives, solver state errors, and synthesized parameters as a function of the dynamic states and a model input vector, where a constraint on the current state derivatives and solver state errors is based a series of cycle synthesis modules. The series of cycle synthesis modules may include a flow module for mapping a flow curve relating a compressible flow function to a pressure ratio and for defining a solution point located on the flow curve and a base point located off the flow curve.

Abstract: An imaging method includes receiving electromagnetic radiation with a plurality of qualities from a scene to be captured at a mask and passing a first portion of the received electromagnetic radiation having the plurality of qualities present in the received electromagnetic radiation through the mask. One or more qualities of the received electromagnetic radiation is removed from a second portion of the received electromagnetic radiation, and the second portion of the received electromagnetic radiation absent the one or more removed qualities is passed through the mask.

Abstract: A simple and robust discrete-time induction motor control technique employs a control algorithm that estimates load torque and rotor resistance from the measured rotor velocity of the motor to be controlled. The estimates of load torque and rotor resistance are employed to generate periodic estimates of parameters that are employed to control first and second harmonic signal generators. A switch controls which of the signal generators supplies a control signal to the motor at any given moment. The two signal generators work in turn such that while one produces the motor control signal, the other one is being readjusted to the new set of parameters by the parameter controller. The control method can be considered as a generalization and modification of Field Oriented Control. In a “non-adaptive” modification, it ensures global exponential stability of a closed-loop system, if at least local stabilization of the system by static control is possible, for given parameter estimates.
