Abstract: The present disclosure describes a wireless microphone system that allows one or more microphones to wirelessly communicate with a receiver. Additionally, the wireless microphone system may allow for a plurality of microphones to be used interchangeably with the receiver. To ensure communication between the receiver and the one or more microphones, the receiver may occasionally transmit a synchronization signal to the one or more microphones. In response to receiving the synchronization signal, at least one of the one or more microphones may determine that a clock of the at least one microphone is drifting from the master audio clock of the receiver. The at least one microphone may then adjust the microphone's audio clock to re-synchronize the audio clock of the microphone with the master audio clock of the receiver.

Abstract: A method and system for controlling fuel flow to an aircraft engine during start are provided. Following light-off, an actual value of at least one engine operating parameter is obtained. Based on a difference between the actual value and a target value, a first command is generated to cause fuel flow to be provided to the engine's combustor according to a computed fuel flow rate defined by a fuel schedule of the engine. When the computed fuel flow rate is within a fuel flow rate limit, the first command is output. Otherwise, a limiting factor is applied to the computed fuel flow rate to limit a reduction in fuel flow to the combustor and a limited fuel flow rate is obtained, and a second command is output to cause fuel flow to be provided to the combustor according to the limited fuel flow rate.
