Apparatus and methods for performing satellite proximity operations such as inspection, recovery and life extension of a target satellite through operation of a “Satellite Inspection Recovery and Extension” (“SIRE”) spacecraft which can be operated in the following modes (teleoperated, automatic, and autonomous). The SIRE concept further consists of those methods and techniques used to perform certain (on-orbit) operations including, but not limited to, the inspection, servicing, recovery, and lifetime extension of satellites, spacecraft, space systems, space platforms, and other vehicles and objects in space, collectively defined as “target satellites”. The three basic types of SIRE proximity missions are defined as “Lifetime Extension”, “Recovery”, and “Utility”. A remote cockpit system is provided to permit human control of the SIRE spacecraft during proximity operations.

A method or technique of operating the LED illumination system within a line scan camera comprises the operation of the LED illumination sources at a relatively high gain control level, less than the one hundred percent maximum or acceptable gain level, and a correspondingly reduced duty cycle level, which is less than one hundred percent (100%), so as to effectively reduce the aging of the LEDs and thereby achieve extended service lives for the LEDs. As the LEDs age with usage, whereby their luminosity levels degrade, the duty cycle percentage level is progressively increased until a maximum output or one hundred percent duty cycle percentage level is reached at which time the gain control percentage is progressively increased up until the maximum acceptable gain percentage level. An end-of-life prediction technique or routine is also capable of being derived from the progressively increased gain control percentages so as to enable the replacement of the LED illumination sources at appropriate times.

A CPU life-extension apparatus and method makes a processor appear to be an upgraded CPU to substantially all software applications accessed thereby, thereby reducing the need and expense of upgrading a selected processor. A CPU life-extension module translates new instructions, intended for a CPU upgrade, into instructions recognized by the processor. In addition, the CPU life-extension module is programmed to monitor reads from and writes to a processor's flags register to modify the flags to emulate those of an upgraded CPU. The CPU life-extension module is configured to respond to interrupts generated by the processor in order to perform its various tasks.

A memory life extension system and method is provided for managing operation of rewritable memory used to store a monotonically increasing sequence of multiple-byte binary values in a set of one or more memory locations in the rewritable memory. A first value is read in from a set of one or more memory locations. On detection of an instruction to store an incremented value, the incremented value is permuted by applying an encoding, in which a value of a least significant bit changes only on every second increment, to two least significant bits of the incremented value. On overflow of a least significant byte as a result of the increment, a cyclic byte-wise shift is applied to the incremented value. The permuted incremented value is then stored in the one or more memory locations.

The invention relates to the technical field of a turbine blade, and in particular to a life extension method of a nickel-based single crystal alloy blade based on heat treatment repairing. The life extension method comprises the following steps of: performing solid solution treatment to the nickel-based single crystal alloy blade so that a strengthening phase of the nickel-based single crystal alloy blade is completely dissolved in a matrix phase of the blade; performing cooling treatment to the nickel-based single crystal alloy blade after solid solution treatment, so that the strengtheningphase is analyzed from the middle of the matrix phase; performing a plurality of aging treatments to the nickel-based single crystal alloy blade after the cooling treatment, so that the strengtheningphase is completely precipitated from the matrix phase. The life extension method provided by the invention can repair the microstructure damage of the nickel-based single crystal alloy blade, so theservice life of the nickel-based single crystal alloy blade is prolonged.
