Segmented flap with variable camber for aircraft wing

Abstract: A wing flap for variable curvature is divided in a plurality of segments (6-9), these segments being arranged to be angularly adjustable in relation to each other, so that the segments together form a curved surface constituting the flap. The angular position of the segments (6-9) in relation to each other and in relation to the very surface of the wing is accomplished by means of an articulating mechanism working in a direction along a vertical cross section of the wing. Said articulating mechanism comprises articulating means which are formed both of link arms (1, 3) and of sliding rods (6a-9a) having variable lengths. Each segment (6-9) of the flap is connected to a sliding rod (6a-9a), the top and bottom shells of the segment being rigidly attached to the top side and bottom side respectively of said sliding rod. Thus the top and bottom shells of the first sliding rod form the first segment in the wing flap, etc. By an arrangement, in which a guide rail (5) makes said link arms (1, 3) to be folded or straightened, the sliding rods (6a-9a) are made to form a polygon curve, the segments (6-9) together with each other then forming a curved flap.

Vehicle safety apparatus

Abstract: Apparatus for absorbing the shock of impact against a vehicle which includes a road contact shock absorber assembly mounted on the vehicle for movement into engagement with the road in response to impact with a bumper of the vehicle A vehicle seat is released for resilient movement in response to impact against the vehicle to cushion impact against a passenger or driver Each bumper of the vehicle has variable resistance shock absorbing means therewith

Method and device for controlling a car

Abstract: An alco key for a car uses the immobiliser associated with the car's ignition system. A key is used for remote control of the immobiliser of a car, said key comprising an analysis device for determining the alcohol level of a person and, arranged to trans-mit a signal authorizing starting the car only if the alcohol level is below a prede-termined limit. The method comprises the steps of - transmitting an open signal to at least one door of the car - operating the ignition key to start the car, - detecting the alcohol level of a person and, if the level is below a predetermined limit level, transmitting an ok signal wirelessly to signal that it is ok to start the car, - starting the car only if said ok signal has been received by the immobiliser. The opening of doors can be controlled in a similar way.
