Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for improving the accuracy of fuel metering for a motor-driven fuel pump, without the need for a matched-set controller. A characterization resistor value specific to the fuel pump or motor is used to calculate a fuel pump motor speed to regulate fuel delivery to an engine.

Abstract: A wiper for a translating ram with recessed features includes a first element conforming to the recessed features of the translating ram; and a second element conforming to the external surface of the translating ram. The first element and second element conform to the cross-section of the translating ram when placed axially adjacent.

Abstract: A device for absolute position sensing includes a motor having a motor sensor configured to provide a signal indicative of an angular position or change in angular position of a rotor of the motor. The device also includes an actuator having an actuator sensor disposed at a set-point along a linear range of motion of the actuator configured to provide a signal indicative of a linear position of the actuator. The device further includes a controller configured to receive the signals from the rotor sensor and the actuator sensor and responsively calculate an absolute position of the actuator.

Abstract: A hydraulic system including a hydraulic power source (102) having an output and a directional control valve (106) coupled to the output of the hydraulic power source. The system also includes a hydraulic cylinder (108) coupled to the directional control valve that receives hydraulic fluid at a first port and expels it at a second port as it moves a load (114) at a movement rate, a fixed displacement motor (150) coupled the directional control valve and receiving hydraulic fluid expelled by the hydraulic cylinder and a variable displacement pump (154) attached to a drive arm (152) of the motor.

Abstract: A linear actuation system has two linear actuator channels acting in tandem and a gear housing connecting the two actuator channels and providing an output for the actuation system. The gear housing has multiples gears with at least one gear connected to each actuator and is movable.
