Another factor that must be considered when addressing the problem of foreign object ingestion is preservation of the surge margin of the fan andor compressor stages.Radially grooved compressor casings have been used heretofore on gas turbine fan and compressor stages to enhance their surge margin.Unfortunately such heretoforeknown radially grooved casings have increased fan and compressor stage susceptibility to foreign object damage.Specifically since the radial component of velocity imparted to foreign objects by the fan or compressor blades is greater than the axial velocity thereof radially extending casing grooves capture and entrap the debris potentially causing catastrophic damage to the engine.Thus there is a need for an improved casing for the fan or compressor of a gas turbine engine thatminimizes entrapment of ingested debris while still offering fan andor compressor surge margin during normal operation.

An apparatus comprising a parsing processor that parses a stream of compressed video a macroblock size processor that obtains macroblock size information from the parsed streama computing processor that computes a set of factors derived from the macroblock size wherein the factors include a normalized bit size a bit size ratio and a neighborhood score a threshold processor that computes corresponding adaptive threshold values derived from the relative frame characteristics of the compressed video a comparison processor that compares the factors derived from the macroblock size information with the corresponding adaptive threshold values and a detection processor that detects motion based upon combinations of the comparisons when the factors exceed the threshold value.

Since the number of bits taken on encode each object varies significantly a fixed threshold is not suitable as it might be in MPEG2 data.Using a fixed threshold with MPEG4 data results in false detection andor fails to detect scene changes at the object level.A combination of a fixed threshold and a sliding window therefore is used to ensure that the detection works at all bit rates of interest.

Next another embodiment is described with reference to Fig.2.Therein it is shown that rotor hub 4 is connected to a rotor shaft 62 which in turn is connected to an electric generator 64 either directly or via a gear box not shown.On rotor shaft 62 a rotation sensor 66 is mounted wherein rotation sensor 66 is adapted to detect a rotational position of the rotor hub 4.It will be understood by those skilled in the art that rotation sensor 66 mounted at rotor shaft 62 is only an exemplary embodiment of a rotation sensor capable of detecting the rotational position of hub 4.Accordingly any other rotation sensor capable of detecting the rotational position of hub 4 may be likewise applied in embodiments of the present invention.As is shown in Fig.2 pitch control system 82 is further adapted to receive an input from rotation sensor 66.In other words pitch control system 82 not only considers the noise data andor vibrationdata provided by sensors 80a 80b 80c but also the rotational position of hub 4.Furthermore it should be understood that pitch control system 82 may determine the rotational position of each rotor blade 8a 8b 8c from the data provided by rotation sensor 66.Thus pitch control system 82 may also take into account the rotational positionof each rotor blade when controlling the pitch angle for this rotor blade.Knowledge of the rotational positionof the rotor blade may improve stall monitoring and control for this rotor blade for the following reason.Typically the blade pitch angle depends on the rotational speed of the wind rotor and the rotational speed of the wind rotor depends on the incoming wind speed experienced by the wind rotor.Particularly the rotational speed of the wind rotor depends on the incoming wind speed with the disc 9 defining the area covered by the rotating blades 8a 8b 8c.However wind speed is not constant across the disc 9.In particular wind speed is higher in the upper area of disc 9 compared to the lower area of disc 9.In other words wind speed is lower near to the ground compared with wind speed more distant from the ground e.g.above nacelle 6.This variation in wind speed is indicated in Fig.2 by the different size of the two arrows representing the incoming air flow.Due to this wind speed variation with height a certain pitch angle of a rotor blade cannot be ideal for every rotational positionof the rotor blade.Accordingly blade stall may occur at some rotational positionsof the rotor blade or even within a whole range of angles.As the rotational position of the hub and thus also of each individual rotor blade is used to control the pitch angle of the rotor blades 8a 8b 8c wind speed variation can be taken into account by pitch control system 82.

As shown in Figure 2 the displacement control valve 50 includes the relief side valve V1 the supply side valve V2 and the solenoid V3.The relief side valve V1 can adjust the degree of opening the amount of restriction of the bleedpassage 27.The supply side valve V2 controls the degree of opening of the supply passage 28.The solenoid V3 is an electromagnetic actuator that controls an actuation rod 80 of the control valve 50 based on an externally supplied current.While one of the relief side valve V1 and the supplyside valve V2 is substantially closed via the actuation rod 80 which is controlled by the solenoid portion V3 the other is opened.The control valve 50 which has those relief side valve V1 and supply side valve V2 is a threeway control valve.

System according to claim 5 wherein the processing unit 30 is adapted for determining the variety of geometrically different aircraft component designs 31 based on the input userspecific load characteristics 21 and the sorted set of rules 11.

The design constraints may comprise combinations of dimensions of the component surfaces of the component and load paths of the component during use and the manufacturing constraints may comprise combinations of a line of sight associated with the component during manufacture an angle associated with the component an angle between normal and adjacent surfaces of the component a tolerance associated with the component and a tooling feature in addition to mapping of required supports and fixtures.
