    Abstract: An apparatus includes a first acoustic sensing resonator formed from a silicon substrate and has a first microelectromechanical system. The apparatus also includes a second acoustic sensing resonator formed from the silicon substrate and has a second microelectromechanical system. The second acoustic sensing resonator is arranged on the silicon substrate at a ninety degree (90°) angle with respect to the first acoustic sensing resonator and together the first acoustic sensing resonator and second acoustic sensing resonator form a torque sensor. A high temperature bonding surface is connected to the torque sensor for directly connecting the torque sensor to a metal object.

    Abstract: A method of operating a gas turbine engine is provided. The method includes receiving sensor data from one or more sensors. The method further includes receiving additional data associated with an engine event. The method further includes generating a current clearance based on at least one of the sensor data and the additional data associated with the engine event. The method further includes generating a target clearance based on at least one of the sensor data and the additional data associated with the engine event and comparing the target clearance to the current clearance. The method further includes causing the clearance adjustment system to adjust the clearance based on the comparison between the target clearance and the actual clearance by actuating the piezoelectric actuator.

    Abstract: An aircraft gas turbine includes a combustor that combusts compressed air and at least one fuel flow from at least one fuel source to generate combustion gases. A fuel supply system is arranged to provide at least one of a first flow of fuel to the combustor via a first fuel supply line and a second flow of a heated fuel to the combustor via a second fuel supply line. A fuel heat exchanger is arranged within the fuel supply system to generate the heated fuel that is heated above an autoignition temperature of the fuel, and a heat source communicates with the fuel heat exchanger for generating the heated fuel.

    Abstract: Provided are systems and methods of controlling load share in a multi-engine propulsion system. A load share participation value indicative of a load share participation regime for a first engine may be received and a load sharing requirement control command for the first engine may be output. The load share participation value may depend or be based at least in part on one or more operating conditions of a second engine. The load sharing requirement control command for the first engine may depend on whether the load share participation value indicates a full-participation load share regime for the first engine, a partial-participation load share regime for the first engine, or a non-participation load share regime for the first engine.

    Abstract: A system and method for reducing the vibration response of a rotating system are provided. In one aspect, an optimized balance shot or solution that indicates one or more physical locations at which one or more balancing weights are to be added or removed from the rotating system is generated. The balance shot is generated based on a transfer function that is customized specifically for the rotating system. The transfer function is generated by applying one or more machine-learned models to parameter values for parameters that are associated with the rotating system. The machine-learned models can generate main effects plots, and from the plots, an effective set of parameter values can be determined. The transfer function can be generated using the effective set of parameter values so that the transfer function used to generate the balance shot is optimized specifically for the rotating system undergoing the balancing process.

    Abstract: A radio network (e.g., a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radio network) includes a transmitter node and a receiver node. The transmitter node is configured to determine whether a radio link (e.g., a MIMO link) associated with a plurality of subchannels is carrying time sensitive networking (TSN) traffic. In accordance with a determination that the radio link is carrying TSN traffic, the transmitter node is configured to obtain configuration values (e.g., a plurality of channel path coefficients) based on estimated quality of each of the plurality of subchannels; adjust the configuration values such that variance in quality of the plurality of subchannels is minimized; and transmit data to the receiver node via the plurality of subchannels in accordance with the adjusted configuration values.
