  • Publication number: 20190338661
    Abstract: The invention relates to a guide vane for a bypass aircraft turbomachine, its aerodynamic part comprising a first lubricant cooling interior passage in which heat transfer structures are arranged and a second lubricant cooling interior passage in which heat transfer structures are arranged, the aerodynamic part comprising a bent area connecting a lubricant output end of the first interior passage to a lubricant input end of the second passage, the bent area extending along a curved generatrix and being partly delimited by the intrados wall and the extrados wall of the vane. According to the invention, the bent area comprises one or more lubricant guide(s) arranged between the intrados and extrados walls of the vane, and each extending substantially parallel to the curved generatrix of the bent area.

  • Publication number: 20190056559
    Abstract: A fiber distribution system (10) includes a fiber distribution hub (20, 300); at least one fiber distribution terminal (30, 100); and a cable (40) wrapped around a spool (110) of the fiber distribution terminal (30, 100). The fiber distribution terminal (30, 100) includes a spool (110) and a management tray (120) that rotate together. A second connectorized end (40b) of the cable (40) is held at a fiber optic adapter (125) on the tray (120). After dispensing the first connectorized end (40a) to the hub (20), an optical splitter (70, 130, 140) can be mounted to the tray (120). The splitter (26, 70, 130, 140, 306) has output adapters at which patch cords (50) can be inserted to connect subscribers to the system. The fiber distribution hub can use the same format of splitters (26, 70, 130, 140, 306). Other distributed splitter systems are provided with splicing and/or adding of splitters as needed.

  • Publication number: 20180293497
    Abstract: A processor circuit may perform processing associated with storing in a memory a record for each of a plurality of transactions, each record comprising an indication identifying at least one item, of a set of items, involved in the transaction and an indication of a time elapsed between the transaction and a previous transaction. The processor circuit may perform processing associated with analyzing a sequential plurality of the transactions using at least a long short term memory (LSTM) network to produce a probability that the at least one item will be involved in a next transaction for each at least one item, and a time estimate until the next transaction occurs. The processor circuit may perform processing associated with storing each probability and the time estimate in the memory as a prediction.

  • Publication number: 20180258779
    Abstract: The invention relates to a guide vane for a twin-spool aircraft turbomachine, of which the aerodynamic part (32) comprises an internal lubricant cooling passage (50a) extending along a principal lubricant flow direction (52a). According to the invention, the aerodynamic part is made in a single piece and also comprises heat transfer fins (80a, 80b) arranged in the passage (50a) connecting the intrados and extrados walls (70, 72) and extending approximately parallel to the direction (52a), these fins being distributed in successive rows along the principal direction (52a) and made such that for two rows (R1, R2) of staggered directly consecutive fins, the row (R1) comprises fins (80a) forming a positive acute angle A1 with a dummy reference plane (Pf), while the row (R2) comprises fins (80b) forming a negative acute angle A2 with this plane (Pf).

  • Patent number: 10002322
    Abstract: Systems and methods for predicting transactions. A record is stored for each of a plurality of transactions, each record comprising an indication identifying each item from a set of items involved in the transaction and an indication of a time elapsed between the transaction and a previous transaction. A sequential plurality of the transactions is analyzed using a unidirectional long short term memory (LSTM) network to produce a probability that each item from the set of items will be involved in a next transaction, and a time estimate value for a future time when the next transaction will occur. The probability for each item and the time estimate value is stored in the memory as a prediction.
