An engine pylon that is used for supporting an engine on a main wing, the pylon including a first drain that is configured to discharge a flammable liquid leaking from a pipe provided within a predetermined region in the pylon into outside air from inside of the predetermined region; and a ventilation path configured to bring the inside of the predetermined region into communication with the outside air. The engine pylon includes a pylon body and a pylon fairing that covers the pylon body. The pylon body includes at least an upper pylon and a lower pylon that project forward from a front spar of the main wing. The predetermined region is defined by the pylon fairing and the upper pylon. The ventilation path is provided in the upper pylon and the pylon fairing that covers the upper pylon.

Method for operating an induction hob and induction hob

The invention relates to a method for operating an induction hob (), the induction hob () comprising a power circuit portion () with at least one switching element adapted to provide pulsed electric power to an induction coil () and a control entity () for controlling operating parameters of the switching element, the method comprising the steps of: performing a control loop with control cycles in order to detect coupling changes between the induction coil () and a piece of cookware, said control cycles comprising the steps of: o receiving frequency information (f) and power information (P) at said control entity (); o calculating at least one relation coefficient (Ds', Ds&#x2033;) based on said frequency information (f) and said power information (P); and o comparing said relation coefficient (Ds&#x2032;, Ds&#x2033;) with a relation coefficient boundary, thereby de-riving a comparison result; deciding, based on the comparison result, whether to: o perform a new control cycle of said control loop or whether to o stop said control loop and said provision of pulsed electric power to the induction coil () and re-start said control loop after updating an operating parameter of the switching element.
