  • Publication number: 20190225194
    Abstract: The invention concerns a detection system (1) intended to equip a motor vehicle. This detection system (1) comprises at least one optical sensor (2) delimited by at least one optical surface (20), the shape and orientation of which define a detection field (21) of the optical sensor (2), and at least one cleaning device (3) for cleaning this optical surface (20). The cleaning device (3) comprises a delivery ramp (4) for delivering at least one cleaning and/or drying fluid, said delivery ramp (4) being movable, relative to the optical surface (20), between a first so-called rest position in which it does not deliver any fluid and a second position. According to the invention, in each position of the movement of same between the first and second positions, the delivery ramp (4) is situated outside the detection field (21) of the optical sensor (2).

  • Patent number: 8038410
    Abstract: When cold and in the uncoated state, the aerodynamic airfoil is substantially identical to a nominal airfoil determined by the Cartesian coordinates X, Y, Z? given in Table 1, in which the coordinate Z? is the ratio D/H where D is the distance from the point in question to a reference plane P0, located at the base of the nominal airfoil, and H is the height of this airfoil, measured from said reference plane up to the tip of the blade. The D and H measurements being taken radially with respect to the axis of the turbine whereas the X coordinate is measured in the axial direction of the turbine.
