A variable guide vane (VGV) assembly, has: vanes distributed about a central axis, each of the vanes having an airfoil extending between first and second stems, the vanes rotatable about vane axes extending between the first and second stems; and a bushing ring supporting the first stems of the vanes, the bushing ring defining circumferentially distributed pockets receiving the first stems of the vanes, the bushing ring having a first ring body extending circumferentially around the central axis, a second ring body extending circumferentially around the central axis and removably secured to the first ring body, the second ring body defining at least one tab projecting axially to axially overlap at least a portion of the first ring body and defining a contact plane therebetween, and at least one locking member extending radially through the contact plane to removably secure the first ring body and the second ring body together.

Systems and methods for cooling a server case are disclosed. In at least one embodiment, a fan switches between an axial operation mode and a centrifugal operation mode to change a direction of an air flow within this server case.

A turbocharger includes a compressor housing, a turbine housing, a bearing housing, a variable nozzle unit, and a fixing member. The variable nozzle unit includes a first plate, a second plate, a plurality of nozzle vanes, and an attitude changing mechanism. The fixing member includes an engagement portion that is engaged with at least one of the first plate and the second plate, a through shaft portion shaped to extend through the bearing housing toward the compressor housing, and a fixing portion that fixes an end portion of the through shaft portion on the compressor housing side to the hearing housing.

A propeller having a plurality of blades extending radially outward from a hub, the blades forming a loop. Each loop having an intake portion, an exhaust portion and a tip portion extending radially outward from the hub and a gap between the intake root and the exhaust root. The tip portion of each of the blades is 30%-75% of the blade, the tip portion beginning at a first deviation from zero of the roll value and extending to 90 degrees, wherein roll value is zero in a plane parallel to the hub axis, and wherein the blades have a vertical angle between −45 degrees and 45 degrees throughout.
