  • Patent number: 9885315
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rear casing for a turbine engine comprising a primary body generating a primary flow (10) to be ejected through a primary nozzle (6), said rear casing (7) being shaped so as to be positioned downstream from the primary body and to define, on the inside of the turbine engine, the path followed by the primary flow downstream from the primary nozzle (6). The tail cone is characterised in that it comprises a connection to a system for supplying a pressurised gas and at least one perforation (8) for injecting the pressurised gas through the perforation and into the primary flow. The casing preferably comprises at least one means for rotating same about the axis of rotation of the mobile elements of the primary body.

  • Patent number: 9502824
    Abstract: An electrical connector for terminating an electrical cable and for engaging with a mating electrical connector comprises a body, resilient member, and a collar. The body has an engagement portion including a sleeve which extends in a longitudinal direction for engaging with the mating electrical connector. The sleeve comprises a keyway configured to receive a keyed mating connector. The resilient member is arranged on the sleeve and can deform in a transverse direction perpendicular to the direction and provide a reaction force for maintaining the engagement of the connector with the mating connector. The collar is configured to rotate about the sleeve, and comprises a radially inwardly protruding pin which extends into the sleeve and can be moved between two positions. One position is within the keyway between the key of the mating connector and the keyway opening such that the pin prevents axial disengagement of the connector.

  • Patent number: 8770921
    Abstract: An aircraft jet engine with a longitudinal axis, including a wall enclosing a gas flow ejected from a downstream end of the wall in the longitudinal axis, plural ducts being distributed around the periphery of the downstream end of the wall each including a terminal section, including an outlet opening. Each duct can eject a fluid jet through the outlet opening thereof. The ducts are configured to eject the fluid jets essentially parallel to each other, each fluid jet ejected through the corresponding outlet opening forming a lateral angle with the longitudinal axis in a projection view in a plane with the longitudinal axis.

  • Patent number: 8496494
    Abstract: A first electrical connector (1) for terminating an electrical cable (11) and for engaging with a mating electrical connector (51). The first connector comprises a body (5) having an engagement portion including a sleeve (7) whose passage extends along a mating axis (101) for engaging the mating electrical connector. The connector comprises at least one resilient member (15), such as a coil spring, arranged on the sleeve. The resilient member is capable of deforming radial to the mating axis (101) to provide a reaction force for maintaining the engagement of the connector with the mating connector.

  • Patent number: 8393139
    Abstract: An aircraft jet engine including a wall centered about a longitudinal axis and surrounding a stream of gas ejected at a downstream end of the wall in the direction of the axis, primary ducts distributed at the periphery of the downstream end of the wall configured on command each to eject a jet of primary fluid to interact with the ejected stream of gas, the primary ducts of each pair converging towards one another near the downstream end of the wall so that the primary jets ejected form two sides of a triangle that meet at the vertex thereof in a view projected onto a plane perpendicular to a transverse plane, and secondary ducts each associated with each pair of primary ducts and configured on command to eject a jet of secondary fluid directed into the triangle formed by the primary jets.

  • Patent number: 8157050
    Abstract: A jet engine, including a wall surrounding a first gas flow ejected from a downstream end of the wall along a longitudinal axis, a second flow of gas running outside the wall in a direction of ejection of the first gas flow, at least one duct arranged on the periphery of the downstream end of the wall which is desired to eject a gas flow for interacting with one and/or the other gas flow, the at least one duct including a terminal section provided at the free end thereof with an outlet opening through which the fluid is ejected. The terminal section successively includes a first section of straight duct aligned along a median axis and a second duct section forming a bend relative to the straight section, the second portion having a free end provided with the outlet opening and sufficiently close to the median axis of the first section to give the terminal section a reduced restriction in a direction of formation of the bend.

  • Patent number: 8047858
    Abstract: An electrical connector comprises a dielectric spacing element having elongate through holes and a forward end surface; a plurality of parallel, elongate conductive contacts arranged in respective through holes of the spacing element, the conductive contacts providing electrical connections; an outer body arranged about the spacing element and the conductive contacts, the outer body having a longitudinal position fixed relative to the dielectric spacing element and having a forward end for engagement with a mating connector; and a collar slidably mounted about the outer body. The collar has an engagement position in which a forward surface of the collar is positioned in front of the forward end of the outer body for mechanically coupling the connector with the mating connector and a retracted position in which the forward surface of the collar is positioned behind the forward end surface of the spacing element for cleaning access to the conductive contacts.
