Abstract: A rotor for a turbomachine includes a disc and a plurality of blades fixed to the disc. Each blade of the plurality of blades is fixed to the disc via a lattice structure configured so that a tensile force applied to the lattice structure induces a change in the angle of incidence of the blade. The blades and the lattice structures are configured so that: (i) when the rotor is stationary, the distribution of the angles of incidence of the blades around the disc is aperiodic, and (ii) when the rotor is rotating at a predetermined rotational speed, the angles of incidence of the blades are identical.

Abstract: The slicer for food products comprises a circular blade 2 mounted to rotate in a support-means 1, and a base 4 comprising a surface 5 for the accommodation of the product to be sliced, the said surface running substantially parallel with axis of rotation X-X' of blade 2. Base 4 is hinged along axis Y-Y' in relation to support-means 1 and comprises, at 8, a fractioning element, such as a grater and/or shaver, rotating about an axis Z-Z' at right angles to surface 5 of base 4, the said axis being located in a plane at right angles to axis Y-Y' of base 4 and passing through axis of rotation X-X' of the blade. Fractioning element 9 is provided with means for coupling it, in rotation, to blade 2, after base 4 has been pivoted towards blade support means 1.
