Sealing arrangement of accessory to aircraft engine

To provide an aircraft engine in which an accessory can be directly supported with no accessory gearbox intervening to thereby suppress an increase in size thereof, the aircraft engine (E) includes a take-out shaft (11) having a first end portion, connected with an engine rotary shaft (9) and extending in a radially outward direction, and also having a second end portion connected with an accessory (1), and a mounting pad (12) provided in an engine main body (EB) and to which the accessory (1) is fitted. The mounting pad (12) forms an outer perimeter of an opening (48) through which the take-out shaft (11) extends. The opening (48) is sealed by a covering (47), through which the take-out shaft (1) extends, and a sealing member (49) to seal between the covering (47) and the take-out shaft (11).

Systems and methods for automatically populating a post-operative report of a surgical procedure are disclosed. A system may include at least one processor configured to implement a method including receiving an identifier of a patient, an identifier of a healthcare provider, and surgical footage of a surgical procedure performed on the patient. The method may include analyzing frames of the surgical footage to identify phases of the surgical procedure based on interactions between medical instruments and biological structures and, based on the interactions, associate a name with each phase. The method may include determining a beginning of each phase and associating a time marker with the beginning of each phase. The method may include populating a post-operative report with the patient identifier, the names of the phases, and time markers associated with the phases in a manner that enables the health care provider to alter the post-operative report.

Methods and systems for noise mitigation in multiple motor gearbox drive units
10436306 · 2019-10-08 · ·

Methods and systems for controlling noise in multiple motor gearbox drive units having a common housing are provided. The disclosure describes adjusting an angular position of a drive element of a first motor drive unit relative to the angular position of a drive element of a second motor drive unit in a multiple motor gearbox drive unit. This adjustment to the relative angular position of the drive elements shifts the phase angle of noise sound waves generated by the first and second motor drive units in the multiple motor gearbox drive unit. In some cases, the phase angle shift causes a noise sound wave generated by the first motor drive unit to cancel a noise sound wave generated by the second motor drive unit thereby reducing the overall noise emitted from the common housing of the multiple motor gearbox drive unit while operating.
