The body (32) of the lock includes a solid portion (38) designed to be housed in the groove and having two opposite bearing surfaces (40) and at least one circumferential wedging surface (42).

Abstract: A blade of a compressor or of an axial-flow turbomachine. The blade comprises a joining airfoil, or main airfoil, extended by branches, or auxiliary branch airfoils. The branches are adjacent and extend the joining airfoil radially. The branches form a row over the circumference and comprise faces facing one another. The branches comprise joining edges connected to the joining airfoil and are coincident or joined so as to form a circumferential material continuation between the adjacent branches. The leading edges and the trailing edges of the branches are a continuation of the leading edges and the trailing edges of the joining airfoil. The branch airfoils offer more anchoring points for a blade. The overlap of the branch airfoils strengthens the edges of the joining airfoil, which can thus be formed thinner. The blade comprises a fixing platform connected to the branch airfoils.

Abstract: The invention relates to a rotating electric machine, such as a dynamometer. The rotor of the machine comprises a circular row of resultant magnetic poles of which the polarity forms an alternation of opposed poles. The resultant poles each include a pair of permanent magnets in a “V”, each equipped with a north pole N, a south pole S, and opposed faces, where the magnet poles are located. In each resultant pole the magnets are disposed so as to have faces having identical polarities, which faces are oriented radially outwardly, facing towards one another, thus forming therebetween an angle ? between 90° and 110°, which makes it possible to increase the efficiency. The invention also relates to a turbomachine test stand equipped with a dynamometer enabling a recovery of electrical energy. The invention also relates to a hybrid motor vehicle propelled by the rotating electric machine.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electromagnetic valve for distributing cryogenic propellant for a space launch vehicle. The valve comprises two seats each oriented in a direction opposite to the other seat; a passage connecting the seats; and two shutters opening and closing the seats. The valve also comprises a magnetic circuit with a magnetic coil and a magnetic plunger that is driven by the magnetic flux of the coil and which in turn drives the shutters relative to their respective seats so as to open and close the seats. The plunger is placed between the shutters such that each shutter closes its seat by moving the plunger away from the corresponding seat. The movement for opening a seat is performed by moving the plunger towards the seat so that it does not crush the shutters against their seats.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a subsonic rotor and/or stator blade profile of an axial turbomachine compressor, such as a turbojet. The blade comprises a leading edge with an S-shaped lateral profile in its mid-plane. Specifically, the profile includes, from its inner end to the outer end, a first convex portion including the foremost point of the blade, and a second concave portion including the rearmost area of the blade. This profile enables the fluid flow between 20% and 80% of the blade's length to be redistributed. This so-called “sweep” profile increases the performance of the stage with such blades because it reduces blade tip vortex losses as well as secondary losses.
