Publication number: 20190304001Abstract: As products and services architectures increasingly use a modular approach, the use of configurators needed to assemble bundles increases correspondingly Situation: Configurators are typically focused on creating one bundle at a time. Each bundle is made of various parts selected from a given catalog in a way that they all work together. Configurators help customer visualize the bundle obtained and understand its characteristics (For example pricing, weight, consumption, shipping cost . . . ) Complication: There are situations where customers may want to combine in different ways (use-cases) two (or more) parts from one (or several) configured bundles. In such a case they may have to try various bundle configurations to visualize possible resulting use-cases. As the number of parts increases per bundle and the number of bundles increases, the combination of possible use-cases increases even more. Figuring out use-case from bundles becomes a lengthy task.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 16, 2019Publication date: October 3, 2019Inventor: PATRICK JACQUES ANDRE MARIE DANEY DE MARCILLAC

Patent number: 10400623Abstract: A system and method for detecting a fluid leak in a turbomachine. The turbomachine includes a high temperature fluid source, at least one fluid distribution pipe adapted to distribute the fluid to different parts of the turbomachine and/or an aircraft which is to be equipped with the turbomachine, a turbomachine compartment in which the distribution pipe is at least partly accommodated, the compartment having in operation a low temperature relative to the high temperature of the fluid supplied by the fluid source. The method includes measuring a temperature variation in the compartment between two instants to obtain a temperature gradient, and detecting a fluid leak when the temperature gradient is greater than or equal to a threshold temperature gradient.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2015Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: SAFRAN AIRCRAFT ENGINESInventors: Alexandre Patrick Jacques Roger Everwyn, Arnaud Rodhain
