  • Patent number: 10006307
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a turbine engine casing (1), in particular a turbojet exhaust casing, including at least one hoop (2) and at least one flange (3, 4) at least partially defining one end of said hoop (2), and at least one cap (5) positioned at least partially on the outer surface of the hoop (2), said cap (5) including a bore (6) capable of receiving an element for fastening the casing (1) to a bracket, the flange including an access cut-out (7a) substantially coaxial with the bore (6) of said at least one cap (5), said access cut-out (7a) enabling access to the bore (6), the access cut-out (7a) being provided at a release cut-out (7b) which is wider than the flange (3, 4) and constitutes a recess on said release cut-out (7b). The invention also relates to a turbine engine including a casing (1) and to a method for machining the latter according to the present invention.

  • Patent number: 9399952
    Abstract: A method for assembling a nozzle and an exhaust case of a turbomachine is disclosed. The exhaust case includes a hub and an outer ferrule connected to each other by a plurality of arms. The nozzle is attached to the outer ferrule of the exhaust case substantially at the trailing edges of the arms.

  • Patent number: 9000692
    Abstract: A linear electrodynamic-type motor, for compressing a fluid circulating in a cryocooler notably using a Stirling cycle, includes a translationally movable induction coil; a power-supply circuit adapted to deliver, to at least one induction coil, an AC power-supply current; a movable mass adopting a translational movement; an induction coil arranged so as to move a respective movable mass between a first position and a second position where the movable mass can compress the fluid; and a secondary circuit arranged to connect the terminals of at least one induction coil in short-circuit. The secondary circuit comprises a compensation component for producing a phase shift between the power-supply voltage and the power-supply current, so as to reduce the phase difference that the inductance of the induction coil produces.
