Abstract: A rotor blade includes an airfoil having an airfoil shape. The airfoil shape has a nominal profile substantially in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z set forth in one of Table I, Table II, Table III, Table IV, Table V, Table VI, Table VII, Table VIII, Table IX, Table X, Table XI, or Table XII. The Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z are non-dimensional values from 0% to 100% convertible to dimensional distances expressed in a unit of distance by multiplying the Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z by a scaling factor of the airfoil in the unit of distance. The X and Y values, when connected by smooth continuing arcs, define airfoil profile sections at each Z value. The airfoil profile sections at Z values are joined smoothly with one another to form a complete airfoil shape.

Abstract: A novel microcapsule which is endowed for example with reduced leakage of encapsulated materials. The microcapsule contains one or more fragrances and is suitable for inclusion in non-edible consumer goods products, laundry products, personal care products and cosmetic products. The microcapsule can be obtained in an economic and efficient manner by polymerizing an emulsion so that emulsion droplets are encapsulated into a subsequently cured polymeric shell.
