Abstract: The present invention concerns a pre-mix for a syntactic phenolic foam
composition; a syntactic phenolic foam composition; and a process for preparing
the syntactic phenolic foam composition. 
     The pre-mix comprises thermally expandable and / or expanded thermoplastic
microspheres, the microspheres comprising a thermoplastic polymer shell made of
a homopolymer or copolymer of 100 to 25, for example 93 to 40, parts by weight
of a nitrile-containing, ethylenically unsaturated monomer, or a mixture thereof;
and 0 to 75, for example 7 to 60, parts by weight of a non-nitrile-containing,
ethylenically unsaturated monomer, or a mixture thereof; and a propellant, or a
mixture thereof, trapped within the thermoplastic polymer shell; and one of either
a highly reactive phenolic resole resin capable of fully crosslinking at
temperatures between 15°C and 60°C, optionally in the presence of up to ten times
its own weight in water, and having, typically, a free phenol content of 12-15%
(w/w); or an acidic catalyst for curing the phenolic resole resin. 
     The process comprises either curing the above-mentioned pre-mix in the presence
of the other of the acidic catalyst; and the highly reactive phenolic resole resin, as
defined above or, alternatively, curing all three components, together with any
other components.

Inventor: ROSON IVAN
IPC: B64C1/40
Filed: 2003-06-12
Abstract: The invention proposes to address the vibration transfer
function transmitted by a turbo-fan engine or equivalent to the aircraft
structure, with two types of isolators mounted on a unique assembly but with a
different physical response to the transfer function, an absorbing one and a
resonating one. The difference in nature of such responses induces a non-interaction
effect between the two isolators. 
     The invention concerns more specifically a two-tone isolator
assembly adapted to be mounted on an aircraft or equivalent comprising in
particular a head, a cabin yoke (3) and a power engine (5) structure having a
longitudinal axis crossed by a radial plan. The two-tone isolator assembly
comprises, located at the head side of the aircraft, at least one support (7) for, at
least, one fluid mount isolator (17) and two dynamic absorbers (15a,15b), and mechanical
means (19,9) to couple said support to the power engine structure and to the cabin
yoke. Said assembly is designed to link the fluid mount isolator at once to the
power engine structure and to the cabin yoke, whereas the dynamic absorber
is only linked to the cabin structure. Furthermore, the dynamic absorbers are
supported to move in the radial plan of the power engine structure.

Abstract: The inflatable, illuminated balloon is mounted on a vertical mast and has an anemometer for detection of wind speed. A control circuit (34) controls a fan (16) in order to vary the internal inflation pressure of the envelope as a function of the wind speed.  The balloon comprises an inflatable envelope (12) and on its uppermost surface includes an anemometer for detection of wind speed outside the balloon. The balloon houses a halogen lamp within the flexible and translucent material of the envelope. A control circuit (34) controls a fan (16) in order to vary the internal inflation pressure of the envelope as a function of the wind speed. The control circuit emits a signal to increase the pressure when the wind speed increases, and reduce the pressure when the wind speed decreases. The balloon is held on a vertical mast (14), the upper part of which (14A) lies diametrically through the balloon. The mast is hollow and includes at least orifices within the upper part for inflation of the balloon.
