  • Device for detecting the approach of a vortex ring state, rotary-wing aerodyne comprising said device, and associated method
    Patent number: 11801933
    Abstract: A device for detecting the approach of a vortex ring state for a rotary wing aerodyne, the detection device including a set of vibration sensors configured to be distributed in or on the aerodyne, and a data processing unit configured to receive in real time measurement data from the sensors, process the data in order to calculate in real time the vibration spectrum of the aerodyne, detect in real time, by vibration analysis, the approach of a vortex ring state as a function of the calculated vibration spectrum, and issue an alarm in the event of detection of the approach of a vortex ring state.

  • Method for manufacturing a sensor chip for the direct conversion of X-rays, a sensor for the direct conversion of X-rays and the dental radiology apparatus for using such a sensor
    Patent number: 10937921
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method to manufacture a chip to detect the direct conversion of X-rays. It also relates to a direct conversion detector for X-rays using such a chip and dental radiology equipment using at least one such detector. The method to manufacture the wafer comprises a step for applying pressure (3, 4, 4 a) to a powdered polycrystalline semiconductor material and a step for heating (5-9) during a set time period. It comprises a preliminary step for providing an impurity level of at least 0.2% in the polycrystalline semiconductor material.

  • Early identification of a vortex ring phase
    Patent number: 9037316
    Abstract: A method for early detection of the vortex ring state in a helicopter includes steps of establishing flight control signals for flight control with regard to the vertical movement axis of the helicopter, detecting resultant movements in the vertical movement axis of the helicopter, and detecting an impending vortex ring state of the helicopter in accordance with a correlation between the flight control signals and the vertical movements in the vertical movement axis.
