  • Patent number: 11970974
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine and engine mount structure includes a core engine including a compressor section, a combustor section and a turbine section mounted within a core engine housing. The fan, the compressor section and the turbine section rotate about an axis of rotation. An outer nacelle surrounds the fan, and is spaced from the core engine housing to define a bypass duct. The fan delivers air into the bypass duct and into the core engine housing. The nacelle is formed with camber so as to be curved in a first plane away from the axis of rotation in a first lateral direction. An engine mount structure extends from the nacelle at an angle that is non-parallel and non-perpendicular to the first plane, and has a component in a lateral direction that is opposed to the first lateral direction. An aircraft is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8808938
    Abstract: A fuel cell system includes at least one cooling channel that extends between a housing and a fuel cell stack disposed within the housing. The cooling channel has an inlet and an outlet for producing a gas flow in the cooling channel. As a result, a gas flow may be used for cooling and at the same time may be used for ventilation of the cathode.

  • Publication number: 20110070480
    Abstract: A three-dimensional microbattery is disclosed, in which a depression, in which two chambers lying adjacent to one another in the substrate plane are implemented, is provided in a substrate. The active mass, which is impregnated with an electrolyte, of negative and positive electrodes is received in each of the chambers. A porous partition wall, which is impregnated with the electrolyte and prevents a passage of active electrode mass, is located between the two chambers. The free surfaces of the active mass of both electrodes and the partition wall lie in a plane with the surface of the substrate. The electrodes and the partition wall are hermetically sealed by a cover layer, which projects beyond the edge of the depression.
