Airfoil member with a piezoelectrically actuated servo-flap

An airfoil member, especially a rotor blade for a helicopter, includes an airfoil body and a servo-actuated flap tiltably connected to the airfoil body so as to form at least a portion of the trailing edge of the airfoil member. At least one piezoelectric actuator is arranged inside the airfoil member, and connected to the servo-flap via a transmission mechanism and a connecting rod linkage so as to tiltingly deflect the servo-flap as needed. Preferably, two counter-acting piezoelectric actuators are connected to the flap via respective transmission mechanisms and connecting rod linkages. An elongation of the piezoelectric actuators in the span width direction of the airfoil member is converted or redirected into an actuating motion in the chord length direction of the airfoil member by the transmission mechanisms. Orienting the actuators to have an elongation motion in the span width direction prevents the high centrifugal accelerations arising in the rotor blade from having negative influences on the operation of the actuators.

Superscale processor performance enhancement through reliable dynamic clock frequency tuning

In the case of a pipelined processor, a performance gain is achievable through dynamically generating a main clock signal associated with a synchronous logic circuit and generating at least one backup register clock signal, the backup register clock signal at the same frequency as the main clock signal and phase shifted from the main clock signal to thereby provide additional time for one or more of the logic stages to execute. Error detection or error recovery may be performed using the backup registers. The methodology can further be extended, to design a system with cheaper technology and simple design tools that initially operates at slower speed, and then dynamically overclocks itself to achieve improved performance, while guaranteeing reliable execution.
