Title: Control of leak zone under blade platform
Inventor: GIOT CHANTAL
IPC: F01D5/22
Filed: 2003-05-28
Abstract: A system for controlling the leak zone under the platforms (34) of blades (33) belonging to the impeller (30) of a turbomachine is disclosed, using liners (10) having edges (13, 14, 15, 18) which are flared radially inwards. Said liners are disposed in the inter-blade cavities (37) which are defined by the platforms, the radial walls upstream and downstream of the blades and the periphery of the disk (31) of the impeller. According to the invention, one of the flared edges, upstream or downstream, comprises an elastic zone (18) which rests against a surface (39) of the adjacent radial wall (35), which is inclined in relation to a radial plane, such that, under the action of centrifugal forces, the liner (10) moves axially towards the opposite radial wall (36) in order to improve the sealing in said zone. Moreover, when the impeller stops, the aforementioned elastic zone (18) moves radially inwards and the liner (10) pivots around an axis (44) at a distance from said elastic zone (18).

IPC: H02M7/217
Filed: 2005-01-28
Abstract: A bi-directional boost circuit for power factor correction includes a power factor control circuit and a pair of diodes, a pair of inductors, and a pair of switches. A  first diode, a second diode, a first inductor, a second inductor, a first switch, and a second switch convert the AC input voltage, rectify the AC input voltage, and output an intermediate DC  voltage. The power factor control circuit receives the AC input voltage and receives the intermediate DC voltage. The power factor control circuit regulates the DC output voltage. Based on the AC input voltage and the intermediate DC output voltage, the power factor control circuit controls an inductor current waveform by driving the first switch and the second switch to create a substantially sinusoidal current as seen by the power source that is in phase with the AC  input voltage.
