  • Patent number: 10677251
    Abstract: A method for controlling takeoffs of mechanical energy and/or air on a turbine engine for the propulsion of an aircraft. It is based on a protocol for the exchange of a request/authorization between and by the energy manager and a system for controlling the turbine engine. This protocol is implemented as a result of a modification of the takeoff requirement. It is intended to check whether the surge margin is compatible with the modification of the takeoff requirement and, if the need arises, to apply temporary measures in order to prevent surge in the turbine engine, for example by providing at least a part of the energy requirements by a buffer. This permits the optimization of the operation of a turbine engine for the propulsion of an aircraft, while avoiding the risk of surge of the turbine engine.

  • Publication number: 20190115488
    Abstract: The invention relates to a photoreceptor device, with a first crystalline, semi-conductive material, comprising a first lattice parameter, and a second crystalline, semi-conductive material, deposited on the first material and comprising a second lattice parameter, different from the first lattice parameter. In particular, the device comprises an interface layer between the first and second materials, made from an amorphous material and structured to comprise regularly spaced apart openings in the plane of the layer. The second material comprises protuberances coming out of the openings of the interface layer and forming separated crystal grains, each grain comprising a plurality of facets forming at least one angle relative to one another.
