    摘要: An intervention apparatus for gaining lateral access to a well via a lateral access passage of the well is provided, including an outer pipe and a flexible guide pipe for guiding a flexible conduit towards the lateral access passage, the flexible guide pipe being arranged to be forwardly advanced in the outer pipe and to deform around a bend in the outer pipe as it is forwardly advanced.

    摘要: An assembly is provided for an aircraft propulsion system. This assembly includes a sun gear, a ring gear, a plurality of intermediate gears, a carrier, a first brake and a second brake. The sun gear is rotatable about a centerline axis. The ring gear circumscribes the sun gear and is rotatable about the centerline axis. The intermediate gears are arranged circumferentially about the centerline axis. Each of the intermediate gears is meshed between the sun gear and the ring gear. The carrier is rotatable about the centerline axis. Each of the intermediate gears is rotatably mounted to the carrier. The first brake is configured to slow and/or stop rotation of the ring gear about the centerline axis. The second brake is configured to slow and/or stop rotation of the carrier about the centerline axis.

    摘要: A mechanical surface treatment method for a workpiece includes using a multi-axis powered machine to actuate a deep rolling tool having a roller relative to the workpiece. The actuating includes applying the roller against a workpiece surface with a normal force sufficient to plastically deform the workpiece and translating the roller relative to the workpiece surface. The method includes concurrently applying an electrical current to the workpiece surface in a manner that produces an electroplastic effect at the workpiece surface and a near surface region. The electroplastic effect and the plastic deformation produce a refinement in a grain structure at the workpiece surface and near surface region and an increase in dislocation sources and tangles within the grain structure.
