Patent number: 8558878Abstract: A steerable structure of the catheter or endoscope type is disclosed. The structure includes an elastically or deformable longitudinal body including at least one actuator of material of the shape memory type incorporated longitudinally with the body together with a Joule-effect heater enabling the actuator to be contracted longitudinally in order to cause the longitudinal body to bend. The actuator extends over at least one portion of the body that presents varying stiffness.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2008Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignees: SNECMA, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Universite Pierre et Marie CurieInventors: Sadia Bousquet, Jerome Szewczyk

Patent number: 8516910Abstract: A method of developing a tool for non-destructive inspection of parts of a turbomachine engine is disclosed. The method includes: a) making parts and/or sets of parts of an engine portion by prototyping from a digital model of the engine portion, and then assembling the parts and/or sets of parts in order to make a three-dimensional lifesize mock-up; and b) verifying that it is possible to pass the inspection tool through access orifices and/or passages of the mock-up until a distal end of the tool is situated in the vicinity of a part for inspection, and validating the tool or modifying its configuration or the configuration of the access orifices as a function of the results of the verification.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2010Date of Patent: August 27, 2013Assignee: SNECMAInventors: Sadia Bousquet, Claude Robert Louis Lejars, Sylvie Mozer, Alain Timon
