問１．下記の従来技術の問題点に関する記述を和訳してください。細かい表現にはとらわれず、技術的内容を正確に和文で表現してください。
[0003] Propellers may be used at subsonic airspeeds, as at higher speeds
when the blade speed approaches the speed of sound, drag, noise andpropeller structural problems may be created. Even at typical operating
speeds, balance and integrity of propeller must be maintained to prevent
failure. Also, under typical operating conditions a propeller is subject tomechanical stresses that can produce cracking, fatigue or the like in thepropeller, which can lead to catastrophic failure of the propeller that caneven lead to the loss of the aircraft. Proactive testing and rework may be
used to help prevent propeller failure.
[0004] As a part of aircraft maintenance, testing and rework may be
performed on various aircraft parts and systems in an attempt to detect
parts that may soon fail, or have accumulated enough use to be deemed
ready for maintenance. However, such testing efforts though tending toimprove aircraft reliability, tend to increase overall aircraft maintenancecosts, and increase parts inventory as parts being tested must be replacedwith ones taken from a spare parts inventory.
[0005] Time in maintenance, and the operations performed also tend toincrease maintenance costs of an aircraft. At any given time a certain
percentage of parts may be removed or switched out of the operation to besubjected to maintenance and testing. Before the part can be again bedeemed suitable for use in service they might also have to be reworked orrefurbished as a result of the testing, or as a general practice. Such testing
and rework procedures tend to take parts out of use further increasing
maintenance costs. It may be desired to be able to test parts with speed,
improved accuracy and lowered cost to improve overall maintenance costs.
Accordingly it is desirable to continue to provide improved systems andmethods of testing and maintaining aircraft parts such as propellers.
問２．下記の半導体ウエハー用急速冷却炉の実施形態からの抜粋の、***START***から***END***の範囲を和訳してください。翻訳対象範囲内に原文誤りがある場合、正しいと思われる内容に修正してその旨をメモするか、あるいは、原文通りの翻訳としてその旨をメモするか、いずれかの対処を行ってください。
(13) Referring now to FIG. 3, generally designated at 66 is a perspective viewillustrating a combination plenum providing and supporting manifold of theFIGS. 1, 2 embodiments of the fast cool-down furnace of the presentinvention. The input and exhaust manifolds are generally the same, exceptthat they have reflective symmetry, and each includes a first annular rim 68
for supporting on its inside surface the outer surface of the reaction vessel. A
sealing material 70 is provided between the inside surface of the annularsupport rim 68 and the outside surface of the reaction vessel. Any suitablesealing member may be employed such as a high temperature fiber flax
paper.
(14) An annular rim 72 of a diameter larger than the diameter of the rim 68
is concentrically mounted to the rim 68 by a sealing and strengthening web
74 welded perpendicularly to about the midpoint of the annular rim 68 andwelded perpendicularly to the annular rim 72. The annular rim 72 supports
with its inside surface the outside surface of the cylindrical member 58 (FIG.
1). An annular, high-temperature seal 76 is circumferentially provided
between the confronting walls of the members 72, 58 (FIG. 1). Any suitablesealing material such as woven quartz or fiber flax paper can be employed.

***START***(15) The region enclosed by the rims 68, 76 and the included wall 76,
together with the proximate end of the thereby aligned and supported
reaction vessel, define a distribution plenum and an exhaust plenum
respectively at each of the ends of the fast cool-down furnace. A nipple 78terminating on its free end in a strengthening flange 80 is welded orotherwise fastened to the annular rim 72. At the distribution plenum, input
air is coupled thereinto through the corresponding nipple of the distribution
manifold via a suitable coupling. The exhaust plenum is coupled to ambient
via a conduit opening to atmosphere coupled to the nipple of the exhaust
manifold. Any other suitable means for moving air from the distribution to
the exhaust plenums such as a negative pressure source may be employed
without departing from the inventive concept.
