Abstract: An aircraft gas turbine thrust-reversing device has an engine cowling, the rear area of which is displaceable in the axial direction of the engine from a closed forward thrust position into a rearwardly displaced thrust reversal position, resulting in an essentially annular space to a front and stationary area of the engine cowling. The rear area of the engine cowling is coupled to deflecting elements and blocker doors, which in the forward thrust position are arranged completely inside the front area of the engine cowling. A drive element is provided between the front area and the rear area, which effects the axial displacement of the rear area. The drive element is a two-stage drive element, effecting in a first stage an axial displacement by an axial partial displacement path, and in a second stage an axial displacement by the full axial displacement path.

The difference between an RGB value of a group of pixels from the image compared with a known RGB value is determined and used to calculate the quality of the coating.

Abstract: A method selects from a plurality of predetermined blade geometries, a blade geometry for a blade wheel for a turbomachine, with for the predetermined blade geometries at least one characteristic value identifying an aerodynamic property of the blade geometry and at least one characteristic value identifying a structural mechanism of the blade geometry being filed in a memory. An evaluation unit ascertains for each blade geometry a total value, which is calculated from the assigned characteristic values. The evaluation unit selects at least that blade geometry whose total value has an extreme value of all computed total values of the blade geometries. At least one characteristic value identifying producibility of the respective blade geometry is filed in the memory additionally to the blade geometries. The evaluation unit also incorporates while ascertaining the total value of the respective blade geometry the characteristic value identifying producibility.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a part includes metal injection molding of metal powder mixed with a binder to produce individual components of the part as separately molded green compact sections which are then debindered to form brown compact sections. At least one of the brown compact sections is subjected to a pre-sintering process to undergo a first shrinkage. The pre-sintered brown compact section and a further brown compact section are joined together to form a multi-part brown compact which is subsequently subjected to a main sintering process, where the pre-sintered brown compact section undergoes less shrinkage than the further brown compact section to draw together and firmly connect the pre-sintered brown compact section and the further brown compact section.
