摘要:
A system (10) for controlling propeller blade pitch is disclosed. The system (10) comprises a transfer tube (18), wherein the transfer tube (18) defines an element of the rotatable portion (12) and wherein the transfer tube (18) is non-translating relative the rotatable (12) and non-rotatable portions (26). A transfer bearing (16) for providing hydraulic fluid to and interfacing with the transfer tube (18) is also used, wherein the transfer bearing (16) is located on the non-rotatable portion (26). The system further includes a pitch change actuator (22) and a mechanism form (74) for actuating the pitch change actuator (22), wherein the mechanism (74) is fluidically connected to and translatable relative to the transfer tube (18). A device for measuring blade angle of the propeller blade (120) is also provided, wherein the device is separate and distinct from the transfer tube (18).
摘要:
The hydraulic propeller system of the present invention has a central hub (14) including a stationary portion (28), and a rotatable portion (30). A plurality of propeller blades (12) are connected with the rotatable portion (30), wherein each of the plurality of propeller blades (12) has an adjustable pitch, and a counterweight (26) biasing the blades (12) in a first pitch direction . An actuating mechanism (16) is used for adjusting the pitch of each of the plurality of blades (12). A valve (56) for locking the propeller blades (12) at a last commanded pitch is further provided. At least the valve (56), the actuating mechanism (16) are located on, and rotatable with, the rotatable portion (30).
摘要:
This invention provides isolated polynucleotides that encode the MurD protein of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Purified and isolated MurD recombinant proteins are also provided. Nucleic acid sequences which encode functionally active MurD proteins are described. Assays for the identification of modulators of the of expression of murD and inhibitors of the activity of MurD, are also provided.
摘要:
A brush block assembly (44), for providing stationary mounting of electrically conductive brushes (98) in contact registration with associated slip rings (40) of a rotating interface, comprises a main housing (46) adapted for mounting in proximity to the rotating interface (52) and having a recess portion (50) for releasably engaging a brush holder (48), and a brush holder (48) formed from thermoplastic molding compound comprising an organic polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) filler distributed within a polyetheretherketone (PEEK) thermoplastic resin, for securing the brushes (98) within the recess in contact registration with their associated slip rings (40).
