  • Patent number: 11174839
    Abstract: A system comprising a blade pitch system having a set of locking holes. A pitch drive assembly is coupled to the blade pitch system and configured to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise within a range of angular degrees to adjust a blade pitch angle. The system includes a pitch lock pin-and-hole system including an interface plate and at least one blade pitch lock assembly coupled to the interface plate. Each lock assembly includes a locking pin having a pin center axis parallel with a center axis of a locking hole to engage a respective one locking hole of the set to lock the blade pitch angle.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7967536
    Abstract: A transportation tooling of the type that borders the blade at its root and at an intermediate point. This tooling is used in combination with platforms placed on the transportation elements and the platforms can move transversely and turn or rotate with respect to the devices of transportation without affecting blade integrity. Also a method for blade transportation with the tip of one blade facing the tip of the adjacent blade so as to use the minimum space on the devices of transportation. The rail tooling takes into account the maximum corner radius that the train will encounter while absorbing the bending and torsion stress acting on the blades.

  • Publication number: 20060215110
    Abstract: A method of configuring and ordering a customized contact lens for a user. The method includes the steps of displaying a template eye image to assist the user in visualizing selected options for a customized contact lens, and displaying a plurality of contact lens selection options to the user. The information includes a plurality of selectable lens colors and lens design patterns. The method also includes the steps of sending an ordering request to order a contact lens incorporating lens colors and lens design patterns selected by the user, receiving the ordering request, and manufacturing a contact lens incorporating the lens colors and lens design patterns selected by the user.
