  • Variable pitch fans for turbomachinery engines
    Patent number: 11946437
    Abstract: A turbomachinery engine can include a fan assembly with a plurality of variable pitch fan blades. The fan blades are configured such that they define a first VPF parameter and a second VPF parameter. The first VPF parameter is within a range of 0.10 to 0.40 and is defined as the hub-to-tip radius ratio divided by the fan pressure ratio. The second VPF parameter is within a range of 1-30 lbf/in2 and is defined as the bearing spanwise force divided by the fan area. In certain examples, the turbomachinery engine further includes a pitch change mechanism, a vane assembly, a core engine, and a gearbox.

  • Handy hangers for tools
    Publication number: 20110253759
    Abstract: A device that carries, holds, and secures hand tools, power tools and other devices & objects (squirt bottles, flashlights, calking guns, hair dry blowers, etc) made from a single pliable type material. The device carrier/holder is sturdy and rigid for securely holding hand tools or power tools or other devices and objects and such device can be readily shaped and re-shaped by the user by applying their own hand strength in order to better fit the many shapes, sizes, weights, models, makes, styles, etc of hand tools, power tools, and other objects that are used.
