Aspects of the disclosure are directed to a rotatable shaft, and a plurality of bearings coupled to the rotatable shaft, where the plurality of bearings include a first bearing, a second bearing, and a third bearing, where the first bearing defines an axial first bearing centerline, where the second bearing defines an axial second bearing centerline, where the third bearing defines an axial third bearing centerline, and where the axial second bearing centerline is radially offset from the axial first bearing centerline and the axial third bearing centerline.

A sandwich structure includes a first skin and a second skin spaced apart from each other and interconnected by a hinge assembly including a first hinge member and a second hinge member. The first hinge member proximal end is coupled to the first skin. The second hinge member proximal end is coupled to the second skin. The first hinge member distal end is coupled to the second member distal end at a member joint. The hinge assembly: prevents movement of the first skin relative to the second skin in an in-plane longitudinal direction of the first skin, allows movement of the first skin relative to the second skin in an in-plane transverse direction of the first skin, and allows movement of the first skin relative to the second skin in an out-of-plane direction that is normal to the in-plane longitudinal direction and the in-plane transverse direction.

An assembly is provided for a gas turbine engine. This engine assembly includes a gas turbine engine case, a conduit and a bushing. The gas turbine engine case includes a case wall and a boss at a port through the case wall. The conduit extends longitudinally along a centerline through the port and into an interior of the gas turbine engine case. The bushing circumscribes the conduit and is arranged within the port. The bushing is engaged with and laterally between the conduit and the boss. The bushing is configured from or otherwise includes a cellular material. The cellular material may be or otherwise include a cellular metal material and/or a cellular composite material.

A device for adjusting the pitch of at least one annular row of stator vanes for a turbine engine module. The device includes a first control ring mounted to rotate freely about an axis of the turbine engine. The device also includes connecting rods for connecting the first control ring to the vanes and a second control ring mounted to rotate freely about the axis. Each vane of the at least one row is simultaneously connected to the first and second control rings by a set of at least two connecting rods. The device is suitable for use as part of a module and is suitable for use in a turbine engine.

A turbocharger is provided herein. The turbocharger includes a housing and an adjustable core at least partially circumferentially surrounded by the housing, the adjustable core having a turbine rotor coupled to a compressor rotor via a shaft. The turbocharger further includes an adjustment mechanism coupled to the adjustable core configured to adjust an axial position of the housing relative to the adjustable core in response to adjustment commands.

A sandwich structure includes a first skin and a second skin spaced apart from each other and interconnected by a hinge assembly including a first hinge member and a second hinge member. The first hinge member proximal end is coupled to the first skin. The second hinge member proximal end is coupled to the second skin. The first hinge member distal end is coupled to the second member distal end at a member joint. The hinge assembly: prevents movement of the first skin relative to the second skin in an in-plane longitudinal direction of the first skin, allows movement of the first skin relative to the second skin in an in-plane transverse direction of the first skin, and allows movement of the first skin relative to the second skin in an out-of-plane direction that is normal to the in-plane longitudinal direction and the in-plane transverse direction.

A turbocharger has compressor arrangement configured to compress the fresh air of an internal combustion engine. The turbocharger has at least one compressor housing (with a fresh air inlet) and a fresh air outlet. At least one compressor impeller is arranged in the compressor housing, and with at least one exhaust gas turbine for driving the compressor arrangement, with at least one turbine housing with an exhaust gas inlet and an exhaust gas outlet. At least one turbine wheel is arranged in the turbine housing. A heated catalytic converter is configured to at least partially convert supplied fuel with fresh air and/or exhaust gas. The heated catalytic converter includes a catalytic converter housing with a gas inlet and a gas outlet and a fuel inlet. The catalytic converter housing and the compressor housing and/or the turbine housing are in thermal contact on at least one part surface.

A sandwich structure includes a first skin, a second skin, a first hinge member, and a second hinge member. The first hinge member may be movably coupled to the first skin and a first skin joint. The second hinge member may be movably coupled to the second skin and second skin joint. The first hinge member and the second member may be movably coupled to one another and a member joint located between the first and second skin joint.
