  • Patent number: 11936248
    Abstract: A power tool system includes a power tool having a tool housing. The tool housing includes a battery pack receptacle having a set of tool terminals. A brushless motor includes an output shaft operably coupled to drive a tool element, a stator having an outer diameter of approximately 60 mm to approximately 80 mm, and a stack length of approximately 75% to approximately 125% of the outer diameter of the stator. A controller is operably connected to the set of tool terminals and to the brushless motor to control power delivery to the brushless motor. A battery pack includes a battery pack housing connectable to the battery pack receptacle on the tool housing and a set of battery cells. The set of battery cells includes at least 15 battery cells each having a nominal voltage of approximately 3.6V and an impedance of approximately ?13 m?. A set of battery pack terminals is connectable to the set of tool terminals.

  • Patent number: 11851556
    Abstract: The invention pertains to a composition based on a fluoroelastomer comprising nitrile or carboxylate-type cure sites and including a curing agent and a Br-containing marker having reactivity towards the said cure-sites, which can be cured so as to deliver cured parts maintaining chemically bound bromine atoms; this material, when submitted to wear/damage would hence release Br-containing contaminants, which can easily spotted via notably an on-line mass spectrometer, so as to monitor and anticipate critical failures of sealing materials based there upon.

  • Patent number: 11208540
    Abstract: The invention pertains to a method of making cured parts from a composition comprising certain fluoroelastomers and certain bromine-containing compounds under conditions suitable for delivering cured parts possessing outstanding mechanical and sealing properties and incorporating suitable amounts of bromine-containing compounds, so that these cured parts, when submitted to wear/damage would release Br-containing compounds, which can easily detected using appropriate analytical techniques, so as to monitor and anticipate critical failures thereof.

  • Patent number: 5113646
    Abstract: To evaulate the working line characteristics of a compressor of a gas turbine engine, fuel is supplied from the gas turbine engine fuel supply to a fuel accumulator via a control valve. The control valve is closed when a predetermined quantity of fuel is in the fuel accumulator, and a three way valve is adjusted to allow high pressure fluid from a fluid cylinder into the accumulator to pressurize the fuel. The fuel is then supplied from the accumulator via the valve to a combustion chamber to be burnt to increase the pressure in the combustion chamber and hence the compressor. The pressure of the fuel supplied which causes a surge is indicative of the working line characteristics of the compressor. The pressure and quantity of fuel supplied are varied until a surge is produced.Reworking of compressors with reduced surge margin can be carried out. Enables evaluation to take place while the engine is fixed to an aircraft.
