A pointing mechanism for use in an electric propulsion system of a spacecraft, the pointing mechanism comprises a mobile plate adapted to receive a thruster and defining a thrust vector of the thruster received on the mobile plate. The pointing mechanism further comprises a rotary actuator coupled to the mobile plate by means of a connecting element, the rotary actuator being configured to rotate the connecting element about a rotational axis of the rotary actuator such that the thrust vector defined by the mobile plate rotates about the rotational axis, wherein the thrust vector is inclined relative to the rotational axis.

A fluidic oscillator device, in particular for a or in a flow control system for an aircraft or spacecraft, has a first and a second fluidic actuator, wherein each of the actuators has an inlet for supplying pressure and a first and a second outlet, from which an actuator flow can be discharged. The device further has a fluidic control for controlling an oscillating discharge of the actuator flow from the first and second outlet of the actuators, wherein the control has a connection portion which is arranged between the first actuator and the second actuator.

A materials handling vehicle is provided comprising a pair of forks to be inserted in a longitudinal direction of the forks into a pallet having one or more stringers. A pallet clamp device is provided including first and second operating devices, one mounted in each fork for actuating respective punch members into engagement with an adjacent surface on the pallet. Each operating device comprises a module located within a cavity in one of the forks, the module including an actuator, one of the respective punch members, and a linkage structure connecting the actuator and the respective punch member.
