    Abstract: A single stage servo valve assembly includes a drive assembly and a valve body assembly. The valve body assembly defines a valve body extending along a valve body axis (X) between a first valve body end and a second valve body end, a supply port, a control port and a return port formed through the valve body each defining a respective fluid flow channel, having a fluid flow axis, providing fluid communication between an interior of the valve body and an exterior of the valve body. The drive assembly operates to control the flow of fluid between the supply port, the control port and the return port, via the interior of the valve body, in response to an electric command signal; wherein a first nozzle is located in the valve body between the supply port and the control port and a second nozzle is located between the ports.

    Abstract: A tunable inductor is provided including a core having a closed shape and including first through third legs. A first winding wound around the first leg is coupled to a first controller configured to provide DC power to the first winding. The first winding is configured to generate a DC flux in a DC flux path in response to the DC power, the DC flux path passing through a first magnetoelectric material coupled to the core. A second winding wound around the second leg is coupled to the first controller and is configured to generate the DC flux in response to the DC power. A third leg between the first leg and the second leg is coupled to an AC power source configured to provide AC power to the third winding. The third winding is configured to generate AC flux in an AC flux path based on the AC power.

    Abstract: A multi-three-phase motor drive system includes a power distribution network, a motor drive unit, and a motor network. The power distribution network includes a partitioned direct current (DC) link connected between a positive voltage rail and a negative voltage rail. A connection between the positive voltage rail and a mid-point node defines an upper portion of the partitioned DC link and a connection between negative voltage rail and the mid-point node defines a lower portion of the partitioned DC link. The motor drive unit includes a plurality of inverter units, and the motor network includes a plurality of motor windings which are each connected to a respective inverter unit. A first group of the inverter units is connected in parallel with the upper portion of the portioned DC link, and a second group of the inverter units is connected in parallel with the lower portion of the partitioned DC link.

    Abstract: Life support systems include a pressure garment, a helmet, and a life support system enclosure that define an enclosed environment. The life support system includes one or more life support components to generate breathable gas within the enclosed environment. The gas is directed along a closed-loop flow path through the system. The life support components includes a fan for driving a flow of the gas through the closed-loop flow path and an acoustic damper arranged along the flow path and to reduce noise generated by the fan. The acoustic damper includes a housing defining an annular cavity arranged about a portion of the flow path, with the housing having a solid exterior surface and an inner diameter surface with openings to fluidly connect the flow path with the annular cavity and at least one acoustic damping element arranged within the annular cavity.

    Abstract: A system an analog to digital converter (ADC) operatively connected to receive an analog input signal from an input line and to output a digital input signal. A processor is operatively connected to receive the digital input signal from the ADC and to output a digital control signal for controlling a physical system based on the digital input signal. A digital to analog converter (DAC) is operatively connected to receive a copy of the digital input signal put out from the processor, and to output an analog output signal indicative of the copy of the digital input signal put out from the processor. Comparison logic is operatively connected to receive the analog input signal from the input line, to receive the analog output signal from the DAC, and to output an error signal in response to a mismatch between the analog input signal and the analog output signal.
