Abstract: A modular storage and charging system for personal devices is disclosed. The system may be implemented in a suitcase, box, briefcase, pouch, handbag, or other container format and includes an internal power-distribution assembly (e.g., a thermally efficient power strip or charging hub) configured to supply power to one or more devices stored within the container. The container may include fixed and/or adjustable compartments, cable-management features for routing charging cables to devices stored in respective compartments, and an interior visible-light illumination element actuated upon opening. Optional features may include wireless communications functionality, antimicrobial and/or washable liners, ventilation structures, and ultraviolet sanitization components.

Abstract: An aircraft turbomachine has a gas generator that includes, along a longitudinal axis (X), at least one compressor, a combustion chamber, and at least one turbine. The turbomachine further includes at least one duct for supplying liquid to at least one member chosen from an oil jet and a fuel injector. The duct (20) has rectilinear portions and bent portions and includes at least one region in which the liquid is liable to coke. The turbomachine also includes at least one turbulence element in the at least one region in the duct.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sensor (1) for determining a liquid level (NE) for an aircraft tank (100), the determining sensor (1) comprising a closure device (2) for closing a port (101) of the tank (100) and a measuring device (3), removably mounted on the closure device (2), comprising a liquid line (20) configured to convey liquid from the port (100) of the tank (100), and a member (21) for automatically sealing the liquid line (20) if the measuring device (3) is not mounted on the closure device (2), the measuring device (3) comprising at least one pressure measuring member (30) configured to measure a pressure difference between the liquid pressure (P1) in the liquid line (20) and a reference pressure (P2) in order to deduce the liquid level (NE) thereof.

Abstract: An elevator system includes a hoistway having a vertically adjacent structural platform, i.e., a roof slab or pit slab, that includes a recess, and a machine that fits within the recess. The vertically adjacent structural platform defines either the ceiling or floor of the hoistway. As a result of having the machine tucked into the recess in the hoistway, the machine is removed from the hoistway and the hoistway need not be expanded, either horizontally or vertically, to accommodate the machine.
