Motor Type Selection
Parameters that define a motor type are the mechanical output power, the shaft bearing system, the commutation system used, and the possible combinations with gearheads and sensors. The most important criteria include the speed and torque requirements, and the commutation system...

ADs Under the Microscope
a "quick picture" of AD compliance. The agency audited 10 ADs for each carrier and fleet type. The nearly 2,400 checks across 117 carriers uncovered 34 "discrepancies." FAA deemed that effort "Phase One." The second phase began in April as the agency began auditing 10% of all ADs for each aircraft...

Investigation of the Influence of Transducer Electronic Data Sheets (TEDS) on Calibration Results
The international standard IEEE 1451.4 [1] is the basis for transducer electronic data sheets (TEDS), where information related to the transducer like serial number or nominal sensitivity is stored into a chip inside the transducer. For bridge type sensors, with a novel circuit (patent pending [2...
