  • Patent number: 10683863
    Abstract: An internal gear pump includes a pinion, a ring arranged around the pinion, and a cylindrical wall arranged around the ring. A support element, on which the pinion and the ring are supported, carries high-pressure liquid towards a recess located at the junction between the ring and the cylindrical wall, and also carries low-pressure liquid towards another recess located at another point of the junction between the ring and the cylindrical wall. The recess allows the load of the ring on the cylindrical wall to be reduced.

  • Patent number: 10208873
    Abstract: A fluid valve is suitable for use with a hydraulic circuit of an item of aircraft equipment. The fluid valve includes a valve body having one inlet, two outlets and a communication channel with an external pressure source. The fluid valve further includes an electric solenoid actuator located in the valve body and having a movable ferromagnetic pilot. A valve member is movable inside valve body to at least partially block a passage between said inlet and one of the two outlets. The valve member at least partially defines first and second cavities. A fixed limiter is disposed within the communication channel such that a displacement of the movable pilot causes a variation in pressure in one of the first and second cavities to produce a force for moving the valve member.

  • Patent number: 10190437
    Abstract: A test bench for an aircraft turbojet engine is provided. The test bench comprises a U-shaped configuration with a passage in the form of an elongated corridor, an inlet duct, and an outlet duct. The corridor comprises a fixing zone with a fixing arm for holding a turbojet engine during testing. The passage furthermore has an upstream shutter with vertical pivoting air guides and a downstream shutter with an inflatable balloon in a collector tube. In the event of fire, the shutters close to confine the turbojet engine in order to suffocate the fire rapidly. A method for managing a fire in a test bench with a passage is also provided. Shutters are placed in the passage, where they deploy.

  • Publication number: 20180281066
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a three-dimensional printer in which a localized powder flow is deposited on a construction surface. The three-dimensional printer comprises an electrostatic charge detector for measuring a characteristic of an electrostatic charge of the powder flow, for example the electrostatic charge thereof or the electrostatic charge thereof per unit of time. Said detector makes it possible to prevent explosions caused by the accumulation of electrostatic charge.

  • Patent number: 10082038
    Abstract: The invention relates to an axial turbomachine compressor outer casing. The casing comprises a sealing device collaborating with a row of rotor blades. The casing comprises a wall with an annular groove in which the sealing device is housed. The sealing device comprises a segmented outer shroud and a plurality of piezoelectric actuators moving the shroud radially in the groove so as to open or close the functional clearance. The invention also proposes a method for controlling a sealing device for a turbojet engine, the method comprising a step of measuring the altitude and a step of adjusting a clearance according to the altitude.
