  • Digital wireless feeler gauge
    Patent number: 10393492
    Abstract: A feeler gauge includes multiple feeler blades and an optical sensor. Each of the multiple feeler blades rotates about an axis between a measuring position and a non-measuring position. Each of the multiple feeler blades includes a measurement portion configured to be inserted into a gap to be measured and a proximal end having an indication of thickness of the respective feeler blade thereon. The optical sensor optically determines one or more of the multiple feeler blades that are deployed in the measuring position from the respective indications of thickness of each of the one or more feeler blades.

  • Pocess for increasing the resistance to corrosion and erosion of a vane of a rotating heat engine
    Patent number: 5120613
    Abstract: Process for increasing the resistance to corrosion and erosion of a vane of a rotating heat engine, which vane consists essentially of a ferritic and/or ferritic-martensitic base material, in that a firmly adhering protective surface layer consisting of 6 to 15% by weight of Si, the remainder being Al, is sprayed onto the surface of the base material using the high-speed process with a particle velocity of at least 300 m/s.
