None that I know of...

The OP's original question is indeed ambiguous, though. A "flat rated" engine is mechanically or electronically limited at sea level and supposed to be [automatically] controlled so that at "full power" it maintains a constant thrust/torque/power output through the climb, UNTIL it reaches an altitude where it can no longer provide that output. Then the output will decrease with altitude.
