Assignee:

Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation - Stratford CT

International Classification:

G01N 11/00

US Classification:

702 57, 702 81, 702109, 702179, 702182, 702189

Abstract:

Disclosed are systems and methods for prognostic health management (PHM) of electronic systems. Such systems and methods present challenges traditionally viewed as either insurmountable or otherwise not worth the cost of pursuit. The systems and methods are directed to the health monitoring and failure prediction of electronic systems, including the diagnostic methods employed to assess current health state and prognostic methods for the prediction of electronic system failures and remaining useful life. The disclosed methodologies include three techniques: (1) use of existing electronic systems data (circuit as a sensor); (2) use of available external measurements as condition indicators and degradation assessor; and (3) performance assessment metrics derived from available external measurements.

17/315565

Inventors:

Antonio Ginart - Santa Clarita CA, US
Jose Restrepo - Cali CO, US
Jose Aller - Cuenca, EC

International Classification:

H02P 27/08
H02P 25/04

Abstract:

A method and an apparatus for starting single-phase induction motors (SPIM) is disclosed. The apparatus use a rectifier and a DC-AC power converter, to replace the capacitor required in the startup of SPIM, providing high starting torque and eliminating stator overcurrents. The system uses a contactor to connect the SPIM directly to the AC voltage source once the nominal speed is reached. The disclosed method uses synchronization techniques to assure seamless transition of the SPIM from the power converter to the AC voltage source.

International Classification:

H02M 5/12
H02M 1/32
H02J 3/00

Abstract:

A system and method using four switches connected in an H-bridge (full bridge) topology within a series-connected FACTS device is disclosed. System and method can be used to bypass a FACTS device. The switches in H-bridge are connected to an alternating current (AC) source allowing for various switching states, and enabling non-monitoring mode, local bypass monitoring mode, low-loss monitoring mode, and diagnostic mode of operation.
