Abstract: A first orifice (128) is provided in a first fluid passage (122) upstream of a cooler (124), and a second orifice (130) is provided in a second fluid passage (118). The flowrates of hydraulic fluid flowing through the first and second fluid passages (122), (118) are regulated by the first and second orifices (128), (130), respectively, and are thus suppressed from becoming excessive. Also, the downstream side of the second fluid passage (118) is connected to the first fluid passage (122) between the first orifice (128) and the cooler (124), and a lubrication passage (132) is connected to the first fluid passage (122) downstream of the cooler (124). Accordingly, the lubrication passage (132) is a single passage and the cooler (124) and the lubrication passage (132) are arranged in series so the cooler flowrate and the lubrication flowrate are the same. As a result, the flowrate of hydraulic fluid that flows out from a secondary regulator valve (112) to the upstream side of an oil pump (28) can be increased.

Abstract: A balance pressure control is provided for flaps which pivot in a rear of a gas turbine engine nozzle to change the cross-sectional area of the nozzle. An actuator drives a sync ring to move the flaps through a linkage. A supply of pressurized air is also provided to the sync ring to assist the actuator in resisting forces from high pressure gases within the nozzle. When those forces are lower than normal the flow of air to the rear of the sync ring is reduced or blocked. A ring rotates with another ring to control both this air flow, and a supply of cooling air to an interior of the nozzle.

IPC: H01S3/06
Filed: 2008-08-21
Abstract: The present embodiment provides a system and method for lowering the saturated gain level of a thin-disk laser oscillator by multipassing each gain generator in such a way to cancel some of the wavefront error contributions from the disk surfaces. Wavefront aberrations introduced on one pass of the gain disk are canceled through symmetry (140) on successive passes (110,120). The reduced wavefront error significantly improves design space for single-mode resonators. Maximum effectiveness is achieved by rotating the gain disk so that the fold plane-of-symmetry reverses the largest wavefront error or specifically chosen functional forms.
