  • Energy-absorbing structural element made of a composite material and aircraft fuselage having said absorber
    Patent number: 8814092
    Abstract: An aircraft fuselage has at least one reinforcement frame (13), at least one crossbar (14) and at least one energy-absorbing structural element (2) that includes a compression beam (21) having a longitudinal axis Z and oriented substantially in the direction of compression forces to be absorbed upon an impact, the compression beam being attached at a first end (213) thereof to the crossbar (14) and at a second end (214) thereof to the reinforcement frame (13). The compression beam (21) is attached at least one of its ends (213, 214) via a shoulder bracket (22), wherein the shoulder bracket further has the function of cutting the compression beam (21) in case of an impact.

  • Steam Cooking Method and Oven with an Improved Water Supply
    Publication number: 20080292761
    Abstract: The inventive steam cooking method is designed to be carried out in a cooking oven (1) provided with a steam generator (2, 4). The steam generator (2,4) comprises a water evaporation vessel (201) and a heating unit (200) which is in thermal contact with the water evaporation vessel (201). The method comprises a cooking phase, during which the water supply for the water evaporation vessel (201) is regulated. Regulation of the water supply comprises the following phases: temperature increase is detected in the heating unit (200) whereupon the supply of water to the water evaporation vessel (201) is triggered in the case of said temperature increase. The supply of water for the steam generator (2, 4) is thus triggered on the basis of a simple, reliable detection which is adapted to mass consumer products.
