  • Patent number: 10518605
    Abstract: An aircraft turbomachine comprising a fan conduit with a wall, a flow of air passing through the turbomachine via the fan conduit. An air passage comprising an air opening is arranged in the wall, the air passage configured to receive a portion of the flow of the air through the fan conduit. A deflector is fixed to the wall upstream of the air opening, the deflector comprising at least one cross-section extending in the fan conduit to capture the flow of air. The at least one cross-section is porous. The deflector protects the air passage structure and is easy to produce and to fix to the wall of the fan conduit when it is screwed or riveted directly thereto. The deflector, as a result of its location in the fan conduit, is easy to access and thus allows rapid maintenance operations without having to disassemble the air passage.

  • Patent number: 10319359
    Abstract: A masking method includes: a step of choosing a generating element which is part of the skin of an aircraft, a first step of measuring a fundamental frequency of a sound signal emitted by the generating element, a step of selecting a masking element which is part of the skin, a second step of measuring a fundamental frequency of another sound signal emitted by the masking element, a step of modification of the structure of the masking element in such a way as to shift the fundamental frequency of the sound signal emitted by the masking element to a frequency lower than the fundamental frequency of the sound signal emitted by the generating element. Such a masking method thus makes it possible to mask the sound signal emitted by the generating element by the sound signal emitted by the masking element.

  • Patent number: 9106801
    Abstract: A wireless mobile terminal works with an identification server to automatically identify a broadcast program/movie and then identify and connect to a networked media server to receive the identified program/movie therefrom. The terminal generates data that characterizes content of a broadcast program/movie that is send by the terminal and is playing external thereto. The terminal transmits a message that includes the characterization data and a request for identification of a media server from which the broadcast program/movie can be received. The identification server identifies the broadcast program/movie, and identifies a user viewed location within the identified program/movie that corresponds to what was sensed by the terminal. The identification server identifies an Internet address of a media server from which the terminal can receive transmission of the identified program/movie.
