  • Patent number: 5919964
    Abstract: This invention provides a method for synthesizing pure carboxyethyl germanium sesquioxide that does not include any toxic impurities, such as germanium dioxide or metallic germanium. Neither of these toxic compounds is used as a starting material. The method involves steps which ensure the full reaction of germanium tetrachloride in order to ensure that none is available to form germanium dioxide and steps which ensure the removal of any germanium dioxide.

  • Patent number: 5703259
    Abstract: A synthetic method for generating pure carboxyethyl germanium sesquioxide in the absence of toxic impurities. In the method germanium dioxide and metallic germanium are not used as starting materials. The method involves steps which ensure (a) absence of any residual germanium tetrachloride to ensure none is available to form germanium dioxide, (b) removal of any germanium dioxide, (c) removal of any germanium tetrachloride later produced from any germanium dioxide and (d) final removal of any germanium dioxide. In an alternative method, intermediate TPA is prepared by direct precipitation from a concentrated solution with a halogenated solvent preferably dichloromethane when poured into a non-polar alkyl solvent preferably hexane at ambient temperature and then converted to carboxyethyl germanium sesquioxide.

  • Patent number: 5518206
    Abstract: A structural assembly comprises first and second closure parts displaceable between a closed disposition in which they are locked by a locking mechanism and in which they close off the front side of the closure parts from the rear side and an open disposition in which they are spaced apart for access to the rear side of the closure parts and a default indicating device comprising a projection element (34) which is movable to the rear side of the closure parts where it is stowed and which releases when the closure parts move to an open disposition and moves to a projecting position in which it projects from the rear side to the front side of the closure parts to provide a visual warning that the closure parts are not in the closed disposition. The closure parts in one embodiment are fan cowl doors of an aero engine nacelle which are hinged at their upper edges to the upper part of the nacelle and which have bottom edges which move into the closed disposition at the base of the nacelle.

  • Patent number: 5417385
    Abstract: A structural component exposed to lightning strikes comprises a bonded assembly of a first component part (18) which has a cellular structure and a front face (20) and a second component part (22) extending across the front face (20) of the first component part (18), the second component part (22) comprising an electrically conducting first sheet (23), an electrically non-conductive second sheet (25) at the rear of the first sheet (23) and a fibre reinforced composite third sheet (26) at the rear of the second sheet (25) and positioned between the second sheet (25) and the front face (20) of the first component part (18). In one form, the electrically conducting first sheet (23) is a non-ferrous metal or metal alloy expanded foil, the electrically non-conducting second sheet (25) is a glass fibre fabric, the third sheet (26) is a carbon or graphite fibre reinforced composite sheet and the first component part (18) is an aluminium alloy honeycomb core.

  • Patent number: 5400984
    Abstract: An aircraft structural component comprising a forward compartment formed by a forward bulkhead and a skin structure which extends forwardly of the forward bulkhead and which has an outer surface, and a rear compartment formed between the forward bulkhead and a rear bulkhead. A supply duct extends through the rear compartment and into the forward compartment for the delivery thereto of pressurized hot gases for distribution over the inner surface of the skin structure. A protective shroud duct surrounds the supply duct, extends from the rear bulkhead to the forward bulkhead and forms an annular space between the protective shroud duct and the supply duct. The annular space is closed off at its rear end at the rear bulkhead and throughout its length within the rear compartment by the protective shroud duct and is open at its forward end for gaseous communication with the forward compartment. A discharge duct extends from the forward compartment to atmosphere.

  • Patent number: 5315820
    Abstract: Fatigue, the phenomenon of structural or system failure, caused by repeated excitations from high frequency noise or vibration levels, can occur without warning in inlet cowls, fan ducts and thrust reverser translating cowls of aero engines. In modern day nacelle and fan duct design, the use composite structures predominates and a composite structural component is provided which does not suffer or does not suffer the same extent from such potential fatigue problems. The structural component has a front face for exposure to fatigue generating energy and includes a composite frontal region which includes the front face and which comprises a matrix and a high fatigue-strength metal or metal alloy mesh embodied within the matrix or partially embodied within it at the front face. The matrix is in sheet form and comprises or includes a synthetic resin.

  • Patent number: 4674714
    Abstract: The duct (16) which delivers hot air (F) to the inside surface of the leading edge of a turbo-fan inlet cowl, for de-icing of the leading edge (11), is made double-walled (16,21) in order to safeguard from overheating the materials from which the cowl is constructed in the event of rupture of the duct. Preferably the flow of hot air in the outer duct blows open a hinged door (26) in the skin (10) of the cowl to provide a visual indication of the rupture of the inner duct. The outer duct can be made narrow enough to maintain working pressure in the inner duct after rupture.
