  • Checking and angle-of-attack sensor vane assembly
    Patent number: 11906541
    Abstract: Methods and devices for checking the geometry of an angle-of-attack sensor belonging to an aircraft are provided. The device includes one or more stages, a stage comprising a slot the geometric dimensions of which are specifically configured to accept a portion of the said angle-of-attack sensor. The device allows a visual inspection but can also be instrumented (photoelectric cell, laser, camera) in order to verify the geometry of the sensor in detail. Developments notably describe the use of signal indicators, motorized stages, one or more image sensors, specific materials, communications with computers, or placement by drone and/or robotic arm. Software aspects are described.
    Type: Grant

  • Representation of a skeleton of a mechanical part
    Patent number: 10949580
    Abstract: The invention notably relates to a computer-implemented method for designing a mechanical part, the method comprising: providing a subset of a finite element mesh (FEM), the subset of the FEM representing the mechanical part; and determining a representation of a skeleton of the mechanical part based on the subset of the FEM, the skeleton having branches and branch junctions, each branch junction joining respective branches. This improves the designing of a mechanical part.
