  • Patent number: 10883718
    Abstract: An air intake swirler for a turbomachine injection system includes an upstream wall and a downstream wall, both of revolution about an axis of the air intake swirler, and fins distributed about the axis and connecting the upstream wall to the downstream wall so as to delimit, between the upstream wall and the downstream wall, air inlet channels each having an inlet and an outlet. The swirler includes two aerodynamic deflectors that respectively extend the downstream walls radially outward and that have a concavity oriented upstream. The aerodynamic deflectors extend radially facing the respective inlets of the air inlet channels and thus make it possible to limit the loss of pressure of the air supplied to the air inlet channels.

  • Patent number: 9512733
    Abstract: A diffuser-nozzle assembly for mounting at an outlet from a compressor in a turbomachine, the assembly including a nozzle including two substantially cylindrical walls, a radially inner wall and a radially outer wall that are connected together by radial vanes. The walls of the nozzle are extended downstream beyond the radial vanes and the radial spacing therebetween varies downstream from the vanes to be at a minimum substantially in register with the vanes and at a maximum between the vanes.

  • Patent number: 8550134
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a pneumatic tire 1, in particular a low aspect ratio super single truck tire 1. In accordance with the invention, the tire has a crown reinforcing structure with a first breaker 9 between a carcass ply 3 and a tread 5, as well as four further breakers 11, 13, 15, 17 comprising at least one pair of working breakers between the first breaker 9 and the tread 5, wherein the first breaker 9 is a split breaker comprising two circumferential strips 9 essentially adjacent to the shoulders of the tire, each strip having an axial width comprised between 50% and 70% of the half tread width.

  • Patent number: 7530784
    Abstract: A device for controlling variable-pitch vanes in a turbomachine has rods each having at one end a finger for mounting in a control ring and at its other end an assembly orifice for mounting on a drive square of a vane, the axis of the vane being inclined relative to the axis of the finger of the rod, and the assembly orifice in the rod presenting a dimension in the longitudinal direction of the rod that is greater than that of the drive square, and co-operating therewith to define clearance that varies over the height of the drive square and of the orifice.
