The subject of this paper is the validation of the newly developed booster bleed valve control logic, which has been implemented into the new BR715 turbo fan jet engine. The booster compressor is protected from surges in the low power regime as well as during transient operation by opening a booster bleed valve. This bleed valve is situated just after the booster compressor and passes bleed air into the bypass duct, hence unloading the booster compressor in critical operational conditions. The BR715 jet engine takes advantage of a newly developed logic driving this valve. Monitoring input parameters such as spool and flight speeds as well as altitude, the combined steady state and transient logic provides the capability of appropriately positioning the valve. This ensures maintaining an optimum performance of the engine throughout the whole operating range. Furthermore the logic allows for reaction on special requirements such as surge events. During testing for certification of this engine, extensive handling tests have been performed. The performance of the logic was investigated in detail and the results are documented within this paper. They prove the logic to be working very successfully. The booster compressor is totally protected from surge in the low power regime during steady state conditions. For transient operation, especially during rapid decelerations as well as during bodie manoeuvres of the engine, the core logic for the transient modulation showed extremely effective behaviour. The various schedules inside the logic were partially varied for testing. This paper comprises this development process and each table’s contribution to the booster compressor’s behaviour is explained in detail.

Personal computers (PCs) are a powerful resource in the EM Laboratory, both as a means of automating the monitoring and control of microscopes, and as a tool for quantifying the interpretation of data. Not only is a PC more versatile than a piece of dedicated data logging equipment, but it is also substantially cheaper. In this tutorial the practical principles of using a PC for these types of activities will be discussed.The PC can form the basis of a system to measure, display, record and store the many parameters which characterize the operational conditions of the EM. In this mode it is operating as a data logger. The necessary first step is to find a suitable source from which to measure each of the items of interest. It is usually possible to do this without having to make permanent corrections or modifications to the EM.

Abstract. Power facilitates goal pursuit, but how does power affect the way people respond to conflict between their multiple goals? Our results showed that higher trait power was associated with reduced experience of conflict in scenarios describing multiple goals (Study 1) and between personal goals (Study 2). Moreover, manipulated low power increased individuals’ experience of goal conflict relative to high power and a control condition (Studies 3 and 4), with the consequence that they planned to invest less into the pursuit of their goals in the future. With its focus on multiple goals and individuals’ experiences during goal pursuit rather than objective performance, the present research uses new angles to examine power effects on goal pursuit.

Abstract:When studying the possible effects of several factors in a given disease, two major problems arise: (1) confounding, and (2) multiplicity of tests. Frequently, in order to cope with the problem of confounding factors, models with multiple explanatory variables are used. However, the correlation structure of the variables may be such that the corresponding tests have low power: in its extreme form this situation is coined by the term “multicollinearity”. As the problem of multiplicity is still relevant in these models, the interpretation of results is, in most cases, very hazardous. We propose a strategy - based on a tree structure of the variables - which provides a guide to the interpretation and controls the risk of erroneously rejecting null hypotheses. The strategy was applied to a study of cervical pain syndrome involving 990 subjects and 17 variables. Age, sex, head trauma, posture at work and psychological status were all found to be important risk factors.

It is necessary to develop a high homogeneous, low power consumption, high frequency and small-size shim coil for high precision and low-cost atomic spin gyroscope (ASG). To provide the shim coil, a multi-objective optimization design method is proposed. All structural parameters including the wire diameter are optimized. In addition to the homogeneity, the size of optimized coil, especially the axial position and winding number, is restricted to develop the small-size shim coil with low power consumption. The 0-1 linear programming is adopted in the optimal model to conveniently describe winding distributions. The branch and bound algorithm is used to solve this model. Theoretical optimization results show that the homogeneity of the optimized shim coil is several orders of magnitudes better than the same-size solenoid. A simulation experiment is also conducted. Experimental results show that optimization results are verified, and power consumption of the optimized coil is about half of the solenoid when providing the same uniform magnetic field. This indicates that the proposed optimal method is feasible to develop shim coil for ASG.
