  • Patent number: 11559825
    Abstract: A method for assembling particles on a microstructured surface of a sample. The method includes a step of covering the surface of the sample with a colloidal suspension with a so-called covering temperature range. The method includes a step of sedimentation of particles contained in the colloidal suspension such that particles settle towards the surface of the sample, the sedimentation step being carried out within a so-called sedimentation temperature range.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11511853
    Abstract: A method of facilitating the piloting of a hybrid rotorcraft that comprises a lift rotor and at least one propulsion rotor together with at least one engine operating in compliance with at least one rating. For at least one rating, onboard calculator determines a first power margin of the power plant that is available for the lift rotor and at least one second power margin that is available for said at least one propulsion rotor. A single indicator displays a line together with a first index pointing to said line to illustrate a current operating point of the lift rotor, and a second index pointing to said line to illustrate a current operating point of said at least one propulsion rotor. For each monitored rating, a first symbol is spaced apart from the first index by a first distance illustrating the first power margin. A second symbol is spaced apart from the second index by a second distance illustrating the second power margin.

  • Patent number: 10730613
    Abstract: A regulation system for controlling the vibratory behavior in twisting and/or the twisting stability of a drivetrain of a rotorcraft, the regulation system comprising two regulation loops that are interleaved one in the other, the two regulation loops being arranged “in cascade” relative to each other to regulate firstly a first speed of rotation NG of a gas generator of at least one turboshaft engine driving said drivetrain in rotation, and secondly a second speed of rotation NTL of a free turbine of the engine(s).
