Absolutely!, Turbomeca produces excellent turbines, just look at the repowering of the Sikorski S-76 spirit helicoptes, which were marginal with their original engines by Allison, that surpassed all expectatives when they were re-equipped with Turbomeca Arriel 1S (and 1S1/2S2 versions in later models). Turbomeca engines are outstanding from both size/weight vs performance. A happy engine makes a happier helicopter pilot!
These cars were originally built in the 1970's by Rohr using Turbomeca gas turbines. Our company remanufactured them in the late 90's with updated engines and electronics. I don't believe Rohr is around any more, but Turbomeca still has engines in several GT rail applications around the world. They are an awesome little power plant for their size. They really shine for running an APU generator.
Coupling between power leads of any kind and sensor leads is always suspect, and this is a perfect example. The other cause would probably be traced to a difference in the components in the input circuit of the fuel flow meter. Small production variations that do not impair the apparent performance of one part of the system may still cause it to affect another part.
Good detective work on finding the link that caused the problem, and good choice in changing the other units as well.
For 3D printing to make the jump from rapid prototyping to manufacturing, engineers will need to find easier ways to move products from their CAD screens to their printers.
Gigabit and PoE are two networking technologies moving ahead in tandem as industrial users power remote Ethernet devices such as IP security cameras at 1,000 Mbps over existing CAT5 cable.
New versions of BASF's Ecovio line are both compostable and designed for either injection molding or thermoforming. These combinations are becoming more common for the single-use bioplastics used in food service and food packaging applications, but are still not widely available.

For industrial control applications, or even a simple assembly line, that machine can go almost 24/7 without a break. But what happens when the task is a little more complex? That’s where the “smart” machine would come in. The smart machine is one that has some simple (or complex in some cases) processing capability to be able to adapt to changing conditions. Such machines are suited for a host of applications, including automotive, aerospace, defense, medical, computers and electronics, telecommunications, consumer goods, and so on. This radio show will show what’s possible with smart machines, and what tradeoffs need to be made to implement such a solution.
