After turbine engine is overhauled at Oklahoma City Air Logistics Center (OC-ALC) or at San Antonio Air Logistics Center (SA-ALC), it is run in the test cell before shipment. While in the test cell, final adjustments are made to the engine. One of these adjustments is the dynamic vibration balance of the engine. This adjustment is referred to as a trim balance. The current trim balance procedures in use at OC-ALC require the engine to be in the test cell from 4 to 6 hr. This paper presents a new automated procedure which has demonstrated a reduction in test cell time by 60 to 80 percent. In addition, engines which cannot be trim balanced must be returned to the overhaul line for partial disassembly and rework. The diagnostic guidance provided to the rework line is highly subjective and dependent on operator experience. Uncertain problem definition often results in rejecting the same engine several times. The new procedure described in this paper shows promise for automating vibration diagnostics. This would allow definitive guidance to be provided to the rework line and reduce repeated rejects of the same engine. The Automated Trim Balancing and Diagnostic Systems as designed for OC-ALC and SA-ALC have a projected multi-million dollar savings for the Air Force.

Managing Stress

Abstract. Despite the substantial attention paid to stress management in the extant coping literature, media use has been surprisingly overlooked as a strategy worthy of close examination. Although media scholars have suggested media use may be driven by a need to relax, related research has been sporadic and, until recently, disconnected from the larger conversation about stress management. The present research aimed to determine the relative value of media use within the broader range of coping strategies. Based on surveys of both students and breast cancer patients, media use emerged as one of the most frequently selected strategies for managing stress across a range of personality and individual difference variables. Further, heavier television consumers and those with higher perceived stress were also more likely to use media for coping purposes. Finally, those who choose media for stress management reported it to be an effective tool, although perhaps not as effective as other popular strategies. This research not only documents the centrality of media use in the corpus of stress management techniques, thus highlighting the value of academic inquiry into media-based coping, but it also offers evidence supporting the positive role media use can play in promoting psychological well-being.
