    Abstract: The blades and the outer case of an encased engine, such as a turbo engine or the like will expand and contract during periods of operation. Blade expansion and contraction can result from operating temperature changes, rotational velocity changes, or the like. The engine casing includes a segmented seal (10) which is properly spaced apart from the engine blade tips so as to provide optimum operation of the engine. Proximity sensors mounted on the engine detect the radial clearance of the engine blades to the seal segments at all times. The seal segments are mounted on a corrugated piezoelectric support (12) which is electrically stimulated so as to properly adjust the seal segments relative to the blade tips to provide the proper spacing as the blades and case expand and contract. Appropriate stimulation of the piezoelectric support will move the seal segments toward or away from the blade tips as needed.

    Abstract: A shock strut assembly (10) for an aircraft landing gear includes a trunnion fitting (12), a compressible oleo strut subassembly (14), a wheel subassembly (16), an energy dissipating subassembly (50), and a mechanical fuze subassembly (60). The oleo strut subassembly (14) includes a cylinder member (24) having an upper end mounted in combination with the trunnion fitting (12) by means of the mechanical fuze subassembly (60). The energy dissipating subassembly (50) includes a cylindrical cutter member (52) secured in combination with the cylinder member (24) and the trunnion fitting (12) and a frangible tube member (58) mounted in concentric combination with the cylinder member (24).

    Abstract: A hydraulic control system for a jet aircraft engine has an electronic control that commands a pair of torque motors to ultimately control the position of each one of a plurality of two-position, "latching" hydraulic actuator valves. A first torque motor is operable with a three-position, on/off hydraulic valve. The second torque motor operates in conjuction with a second valve to control the linear position of the spool of a multiplexer selector valve. The multiplexer selector valve has a plurality of positions that the spool can be linear translatable to. At each position is located a pair of control ports to which are ultimately connected one side of each of a pair of corresponding hydraulic actuator valves. The actuator valves may comprise fuel or air valves. A selected fuel or air actuator valve is translated between one of its two positions by translating the spool of the multiplexer selector valve to the appropriate position and then porting high pressure hydraulic fluid to that actuator valve for a predetermined period of time. The control system can asynchronously choose any fuel or air actuator valve to translate, as necessary, at any point in time.

    Abstract: The present invention teaches a method for fabricating a bipolar junction transistor ("BJT") from a semiconductor substrate having a base region, wherein the BJT comprises an increased Early voltage. The method initially comprises the step of forming a patterned interlevel dielectric layer superjacent the substrate such that a segment of the substrate is exposed. Subsequently, a contact comprising a material having a grain size smaller than polycrystalline silicon is formed superjacent the patterned interlevel dielectric layer and the segment of the substrate exposed. The contact is then implanted with a dopant. Once implanted, the substrate is annealed to enable the dopant to diffuse from the contact into the base region impeded by the grain size to form an emitter region and thereby increase the Early voltage of the bipolar junction transistor.

    Abstract: A composite spar for a helicopter rotor blade includes upper and lower sidewall regions (40, 42) and forward and aft conic regions (45, 47) wherein the conic regions further define transition and closure subregions (50, 52). Constant width crossplies (62) and unidirectional plies (72) are stacked and arranged to form crossply and unidirectional laminates (60, 70). The crossply laminates (60) form the upper and lower sidewall regions (40, 42) and end portions thereof extend into the forward and aft conic regions (45, 47) to form a staggered distribution of structural joints (68) and slip plane interfaces (66) therein. The crossply laminates are comprised of high modulus fibers which are oriented within a range of +/- 42 DEG to about +/- 38 DEG relative to the longitudinal axis (25) of the composite spar (10). The unidirectional laminates (70) form the upper and lower sidewall regions (40, 42) and have end portions (72e) extending into the transition subregions (50). The unidirectional laminates (70) are interposed between the crossply laminates (60) and comprised of a mix of high and low modulus fibers which are oriented substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis (25). Furthermore, plies of reinforcing fabric (80) having low modulus fibers oriented above about 80 DEG relative to the longitudinal axis (25) may be disposed between the unidirectional plies (72) of the unidirectional laminate (70). The composite spar is manufactured in molds.

    Abstract: The described embodiment of an edge-of-part (EOP) scribe device (10) is operative to simultaneously scribe trim lines in an oversized, cured leading-edge sheath (120) mounted on a sheath mold assembly (160) so that the scribed, cured leading-edge sheath may be cut along the scribed trim lines to form a prefabricated leading-edge sheath having finished edges for a helicopter main rotor blade (100). Trim line templates (168) having profile edges (170) defining the profiles of the finished edges of the prefabricated leading-edge sheath are affixed to the sheath mold assembly. The EOP scribe device includes a primary carriage assembly (12) having V-groove rollers (14) secured thereto wherein the primary carriage assembly is translatable in a spanwise direction along side rails (166) secured to the sheath mold assembly, handles (16) for mounting and dismounting the EOP scribe (10) device in combination with the sheath mold assembly, opposed pairs of guide rails (18) affixed to the primary carriage assembly, and a secondary carriage assembly (20) mounted in movable combination with each pair of guide rails. Each secondary carriage assembly includes a spring-loaded scribe head (22) mounted in movable combination therewith, a positioning knob (24) secured in rigid combination with the scribe head and operative to allow the scribe head to be moved between a disengaged position for mounting/dismounting of the EOP scribe device and a scribe position for inscribing a trim line in the cured leading-edge sheath, a rigid follower linkage (26) secured to the secondary carriage assembly, and a follower slide roller (26) mounted in rotatable combination with the rigid follower linkage. The spring-loaded scribe head (22) includes a hardened scriber (30) for scribing the trim line and a tolerance roller (32) that interacts with the cured leading-edge sheath during the scribing operation to define the depth of the scribed trim line. With the EOP scribe device mounted in combination with the sheath mold assembly and the spring-loaded scribe heads in the scribe position, each follower slide roller interacts with the respective profiled edge (170). As the primary carriage assembly is subjected to spanwise translation along the sheath mold assembly, dimensional changes in the profiled edges induce vertical displacements in the follower slide rollers, the induced vertical displacements being coupled through the rigid follower linkages to cause corresponding vertical displacements in the secondary carriage assemblies and concomitantly, in the scribe heads. The vertical displacement of the hardened scribers matches the respective profiled edges such that the scribed trim lines correspond to the profiles of the finished edges of the prefabricated leading-edge sheath.
