Abstract
In this work, a first prototype smart optical rotary sensor is demonstrated for fly-by-wire applications to detect cockpit inceptors or flight control surface movement. A rotary encoder, optical setup, electronic circuits, and a microcontroller, with built-in analog-to-digital converters, are packed into a single housing with dimensions of 80 mm × 80 mm × 50 mm to propose a smart sensor. To simulate cockpit inceptors or flight control surface displacement, an actuator is rotated by a computer-controlled driver and the output voltages are sent to the computer using a universal serial bus. Signal processing is done in two steps: software filtering followed by optical powers extraction from the measured digitized voltages. Experimental results show that the sensor has the sensitivity of 17.5 mW · W <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">-1/</sup> ° and an accuracy of 0.5% over the full range of 180°. Moreover, we test the sensor's reliability by examining the sensor response while varying the input power of the light source and we demonstrate that the sensor is highly reliable, a vital requirement for avionic applications. The sensor not only meets the requirements for avionic applications but it is also smart which leads to less maintenance, less electromagnetic interference (EMI) (instead of ~100 twisted wire pairs, four buses are used which are more EMI resistant), and significant weight reduction.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
