Benoit Baldewijns has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9657640
    Abstract: The present application relates to a splitter nose of an axial turbomachine configured to separate an annular flow into the turbomachine into a primary flow and a secondary flow, and including: a generally circular leading edge, an annular wall extending from the leading edge and bounding the secondary flow, and at least one duct for a de-icing fluid for the splitter nose extending substantially axially along the wall and opening out into the primary flow. The external surface of the wall is formed by a sheet bounding the de-icing duct.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8414259
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a turbomachine rectifier comprising an outer ring (5) and a plurality of stator vanes (2), said vanes comprising a platform (9) and a blade (12), wherein said method comprises at least the following steps: a) first folds (7) are draped over a core comprising perforations and having the shape of the aerodynamic flow; b) optionally, the first folds (7) are cut along incisions (8) placed opposite the perforations of the core; c) the blades (12) of the vanes or, alternatively, the blades (12) of the vane preforms, are inserted through the incisions (8) of the first folds (7) and through the perforations of the core; d) last folds (10) are draped over the platforms (9) thus forming a rectifier preform; e) a resin is injected into a closed mold with the preform and the resin-impregnated preform is polymerized; f) a molded piece, essentially having the shape and dimensions of said rectifier, is retrieved from the mold.
