Title: Method for reducing the vibration levels of a propeller of a turbine engine
Inventor: LOMBARD JEAN-PIERRE FRANCOIS
IPC: F01D5/10
Filed: 2009-08-27
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for reducing the vibration levels capable of occurring, in a turbine engine comprising at least one propeller and one coupling structure of the turbine engine, because of the turbulence The aerodynamic origin generated by the coupling structure on the propeller. The method comprises the following steps during the design of the aerodynamic profiles of the propeller and of the coupling structure: an initial configuration of the aerodynamic profiles is defined, the synchronous forced response on the 1 propeller is calculated as a function of the force of harmonic excitation generated by the coupling structure expressed in the form of a linear function of the generalized aerodynamic force for the mode in question; for stacked sections of one of the propeller or of the coupling structure, a tangential geometric offset value e of the individual aerodynamic profiles is determined in order to reduce the term corresponding to the generalized aerodynamic force. The combination of the sections with the tangential offsets therefore defines a new configuration of the aerodynamic profiles that is applied to the aerodynamic profiles of the propeller or of the coupling structure.

Title: Improvements in apparatus for measuring densities or opacities
IPC: G01N21/86
Filed: 1933-04-04
Abstract: 401,178. Photometric apparatus. I. G. FARBENINDUSTRIE AKT.-GES., Frankfort-on-Main, Germany. April 4, 1933, No. 10091. Convention date, April 4, 1932. [Class 97 (i).] In an apparatus for measuring the densities or opacities of screens of graduated densities, such as are produced photographically on lightsensitive layers, the measurements are recorded automatically and graphically in the form of points which can be connected up to form a curve. The graduated screen 6 and a grey wedge 7 are placed between a source of light 1 and a photo-electric cell 8 the illumination of which is balanced against that of a cell 9 illuminated by a white screen 10 which receives light from the source 1. The cells are arranged in an amplifying circuit so that when their outputs are unequal a closed-circuit relay is actuated so as to energize a solenoid 20, Fig. 2. The support 30 for the screen strip 6 is mounted on a carriage 29 which also carries the squared paper 21 on which the record is made, and this carriage is provided with a rack 28 engaged by a pinion 27 which is rotated intermittently by a maltese-cross gear from a shaft 25 driven by a motor 23. The grey wedge 7 and the marking device 38 are both carried by an endless band 31 passing over rollers 32. A lever 34, actuated by the solenoid 20, carries a roller 35 which presses the band into engagement with a friction roller 33 rotated from the shaft 25. The grey wedge thus becomes displaced to vary the illumination of the cell 8 until this illumination balances that of the cell 9 when the circuit of the solenoid 20 is broken and the band 31 is consequently disengaged from the roller 33. The marking device 38 is periodically depressed on to the paper 21 by a rail 22 which is normally held above the marker by a bar carried by a lever 42 having a roller bearing on the shaft 25, and is released shortly before each forward movement of the carriage 29.

Abstract: 715,922. Temperature-responsive actuating-elements. BROOKE, R. April 22, 1953 [April 22, 1952], No. 10108/52. Class 64(2) [Also in Group XXXVII] . A temperature-responsive actuating- element comprises two parallel differently thermally expansive elements, one of a thermo-plastic synthetic resin having a relatively high coefficient of thermal expansion, such as an acrylic resin, polystyrene or a linear polyamide, and the other of glass or fused silica having a relatively low coefficient of thermal expansion, As shown, the micro-switch 10 is rigidly mounted in a box 12 of acrylic resin, the box having a sleeve 18 surrounding the actuating member 16 of the switch 10 and serving as a guide for one end of a rod 20 of fused silica or glass such as that sold under the Registered Trade Mark "Pyrex." The other element is a bar or strip 22 of the material sold under the Registered Trade Mark "Perspex," let into and cemented to the box 12 at one end. The bar 22 forms part of a wider piece from which it is cut and is separated from side portions 26 and 27 by saw cuts 28 and 29 extending over the major par of the piece. A cover strip 37 preferably of "Perspex" is cemented to the portions 26 and 27. A block 33 is secured to the end of the bar 22 and carries an adjustable abutment 35 housing the end of the rod 20. In use, the thermal switch is mounted with. the outer face of the bar 22 in contact with the wall of a tank. The bar takes the temperature of the tank, being adequately heat insulated by the cover strip 37 and side portions 26, 27. In an alternative arrangement, the rod of glass or fused silica is used in conjunction with a tube of nylon which.surrounds the rod, Figs. 5, 6 (not shown). In Fig. 7 (not shown) one of the elements is formed by a tank wall of thermo-plastic resin, or according to the Provisional Specification, of glass or metal.
