A value rho1/rho2 is preferably in the order of 0.6 to 1.4, in which rho1 denotes the density (g/cm3) of the spacers 5, and rho2 denotes the density (g/cm3) of a resin forming the resin layer 9.

The present invention relates to a turbomachine rotor balancing system comprising a balancing flange (52) provided with through-passageways (78), the system further comprising balance weights (54) each mounted fixedly on the flange (52) by means of a first and a second screw/nut assembly (56a, 56b) having a first and a second screw (84, 84) passing through a first and a second passageway (78, 78). According to the invention, said first screw is pressing against a first tangential end side (116) of the first through-passageway, and at a distance from a second tangential end side, and the second screw is pressing against a second tangential end side (118) of the second through-passageway, and at a distance from the first tangential end side.

A fan for an aircraft turbine engine, including an intake cone including a balancing system including a plurality of mass accommodation holes and at least one balancing mass mounted in one of the holes. The balancing system further includes an attachment mechanism exerting pressure that flattens the balancing mass against the bottom of its mass accommodation hole, the accommodation hole being made blind in the intake cone, so as to open out inside the intake cone.

A mechanical seal device 1 comprises a seal case 30 attached to the device main body, a rotary seal ring 60 attached to the rotary shaft 100, a stationary seal ring 50 arranged in an axial direction opposing to the rotary seal ring 60, and a bellows 40 attached extendably in the axial direction between the stationary seal ring 50 and the seal case 30. A static pressure fluid supplying hole 56, supplying a static pressure fluid to a static pressure fluid chamber C arranged at an inner circumferential side of the bellows, is formed on the seal case 30. A communication hole, guiding the static pressure fluid of the static pressure fluid chamber C to sealing surfaces between the stationary seal ring 50 and the rotary seal ring 60 is formed on the stationary seal ring 50. The sealed fluid is arranged at an outer circumferential side of the bellows 40.

A door mirror which includes a camera for checking the side of a vehicle which is in a blind spot of a driver, has a door mirror body having a through hole formed for lens side part of the camera to be inserted therein, and a camera cover having an opening part for exposing the lens part formed, and the camera cover has the first abutting surface which abuts on the outer surface of the door mirror body with elasticity.

A radiofrequency communication module or semi-finished product able to be integrated into the structure of a tire comprises a radiofrequency transponder embedded in a rubber blend and comprising an electronic chip and a radiating antenna that is able to communicate with a radiofrequency reader. The radiofrequency transponder in addition comprises a primary antenna that is electrically connected to the electronic chip, the primary antenna is electromagnetically coupled to the radiating antenna, the radiating antenna consists of a single-strand helical spring, and the radiating antenna has a core made of steel coated with a metal exterior adhesion layer for adhesion to the rubber blend that surrounds it.

A device with adjustable resistance includes two magnetic elements separated by an insulating or semi-conductor element. The resistance of the device depends on the position of a magnetic wall in one of the magnetic elements, the magnetic wall separating two areas of said magnetic element each having a separate homogeneous direction of magnetization. The device comprises means for moving the magnetic wall in the magnetic element by applying a spin-polarized electric current, such that the resistance of the device is adjustable in a continuous range of values. The invention is useful in neuromimetic circuits, neural networks and bio-inspired computers.

This packaging is for containers having each a cylindrical body and an upper surface located at or near an extremity of the body, said packaging comprising a nest, a tub and a sealing cover; the nest having a nesting structure to receive the containers and comprising at least one first supporting surface, to be received on at least one corresponding supporting surface of the tub, the tub having a bottom wall, lateral walls forming an upper opening, and a peripheral flange leveled with said upper opening, for the sealing of said sealing cover thereon; said nest includes at least one second supporting surface rigidly connected to said at least one first supporting surface and so positioned with respect to this at least one first supporting surface that this second supporting surface is located, when the nest is placed in the tub, at the level of said peripheral flange.

A pet chew with a dental health function includes a carrier and plural dental health members disposed on the surface of interior of the carrier. The dental health members include probiotic, prebiotic and adhesive. The probiotic is a human intestinal probiotic group, and a human beneficial probiotic. Since pets like molar, the chew induces a pet to chew for more than 3 minutes, and the probiotic and prebiotic can clean the pet's teeth during the long chewing time. An adhesive is mixed into the probiotic and prebiotic, so that a large amount of probiotic and prebiotic is adhered into the pet's mouth. The prebiotic promotes the colonization of the probiotic, forms advantageous probiotic groups, and inhibits the breeding of germs in the pet's mouth, and the growth of human harmful germs, so as to achieve the effects of maintaining the pet's oral health and eliminating bad breath.
