Title: Use of Coanda ejector to achieve thrust reversal
Inventor: ANTHONY GREGORY SMITH
IPC: F02K1/72
Filed: 2019-01-30
Abstract: A thrust reverser using Coanda effect to reverse engine thrust. Coanda surfaces 1, 6 are fitted within an engine bypass duct 2. A cylinder 1 is positioned across the bypass duct, which may be blocked using the blocker door 3 creating an aperture 4 in the nacelle. The cylinder 1 has a slot (7, figure 2).

Title: An electric motor apparatus
Inventor: VASILE COROBAN-SCHRAMEL
IPC: H02P29/032
Filed: 2019-04-23
Abstract: An electric motor supplied by a battery source is controlled by receiving an input torque demand signal indicative of the amount of torque demanded from the motor and producing as an output a set of motor current demand signals. A drive stage receives the motor current demand signals and causes currents to flow in each phase of the motor as required to meet the demanded torque. A torque demand limiter outputs a torque demand limit signal indicative of a torque demand limit, above which the battery current would exceed one or more limits. The torque demand limiter may set the value of the torque demand limit signal using a model of the motor and the drive or as a function of the voltage of the battery. The torque demand limiter may use one or more of the following parameters when determining the torque limit: motor battery current limit, generator battery current limits; motor electric power limit; generator electric power limit. A torque demand generator may generate a torque demand signal having a value dependent on the amount of assistance torque demanded from the motor. The arrangement may be used to control a motor of an electric power steering system.
