Abstract: A connecting rod includes two elastically flexible slats which are curved and arranged symmetrically relative to a longitudinal axis of the connecting rod. The slats have end zones running parallel to the axis, as well as transverse spacers placed between the slats and fasteners for securing the slats to each other and to the transverse spacers. The fasteners include adapters for adjusting the curve of the slats with a view to varying the axial length of the connecting rod.

Abstract: The invention proposes a method for manufacturing a grille for a cascade type thrust reverser, of a jet engine, said method including the following steps: a) manufacturing a first component comprising long fibres, pre-impregnated by a thermoplastic or thermosetting resin; b) manufacturing, together with step a), a series of second components each including discontinuous fibres, pre-impregnated by a thermoplastic or thermosetting resin, step b) being carried out such that the second components are, on the one hand, arranged to transversally with respect to a longitudinal direction of the first component on at least one side of the first component and, on the other hand, spaced from one another according to this longitudinal direction, so as to form a comb-shaped structure, wherein the second components are consolidated to the first component.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to ground expanded graphite agglomerate compositions, methods for making such agglomerates, their use as conductive additives, and conductive composites including such ground expanded graphite agglomerates. The disclosure also relates to methods for making such composites and the use of such composites in preparing thermally conductive materials. The agglomerates may be characterized by a certain softness allowing the agglomerates to dissolve, for example, through shear forces applied during compounding, thereby leading to an improved feedability and a highly homogenous distribution of the expanded graphite material in the composite matrix.
