  • Patent number: 11959418
    Abstract: An impeller (230) for a planet carrier of a planetary gear speed reducer of a turbomachine, is configured intended to be rotatably secured to the planet carrier and to be rotated about an axis A of the speed reducer. The impeller has an annular shape about the axis and includes lubrication means (43, 45, 238), in particular for lubricating bearings of planet gears of the speed reducer. The lubrication means include an annular cavity (238) situated at the inner periphery of the impeller. The impeller includes an inner peripheral wall (246) closing the cavity (238) in the radial direction, and the impeller includes an annular port (248) that extends around the axis and that opens in the axial direction into the cavity in order to supply it with lubricating oil.

  • Patent number: 11919260
    Abstract: A process for shaping, by compaction, a fibrous structure obtained by three-dimensional or multilayer weaving between a plurality of layers of warp yarns and a plurality of layers of weft yarns. The yarns of each plurality of layers of warp yarns and layers of weft yarns are coated with a sizing composition. The shaping includes a pre-compaction stage followed by a stage of final compaction of the fibrous structure. During pre-compaction and final compaction, the fibrous structure is at a temperature greater than or equal to the softening temperature of the sizing composition. The process further includes the cooling of the fibrous preform obtained after final compaction of the fibrous structure.
