Abstract: The present disclosure describes a wrap spring torque nipple that includes a first helical spring, a second helical spring, and a middle portion connected to and between the first helical spring and the second helical spring. The first helical spring and the second helical spring have different rotational helix orientations, and the first helical spring is configured to receive an input shaft and the second helical spring is configured to receive an output shaft, wherein the wrap spring transfers rotational power up to a defined torsional value from the input shaft to the output shaft.

Abstract: In some aspects, an aircraft engine thrust reverser lock system includes a pin-capturing member. The pin-capturing member includes a body that is rotatable about an axis defined by a pivot extending through the body. The body includes an interior surface that defines a slot. The slot has an opening that is sized to receive a pin into the slot. One side of the slot includes a protruded sidewall surface that protrudes into the slot toward an another sidewall surface of the slot. The protruded sidewall surface defines an apex between the open and closed ends of the slot. Between the apex and the closed end of the slot, the protruded sidewall surface faces the rotational axis.

Abstract: A precision positioning mount for UV-cured adhesives that provides adhesive junctions between modular assembly mounts and structural elements. Contact edges are placed on a first fixating area of an adhesive junction. The contact edges are pronounced edges of faces that slide along a second fixating area during the adjustment process. Thus, the assembly modules and structural elements are precisely referenced before, during and after their positioning and orientating. First and second fixating areas form a cavity that provides a volume for the adhesive. The mounts and structural elements are preferably made of sapphire for increased thermal conductivity. The elements of the assembly mounts are modular and interchangeable and provide various positioning modes.

Abstract: Optical, opto-mechanical and electro-optical elements (OE) of a Laser resonance assembly (LRA) are positioned and fixated in close proximity on an assembly plate by clamping the OE in a vacuum chuck that holds the OE on a clamping portion on the very top of it. The OE is brought into the predetermined position while a lateral attaching surface of the OE is kept in a predetermined angle relative to the assembly plate. A side mount is placed between the mirror and the assembly plate after an UV-curing adhesive has been applied. The attaching surface s and the adhesive have a specific relation between areal extension, surface roughness, uncured viscosity and uncured cohesive force.
