A modular subfloor system comprises first longitudinal structural frames, lateral regions, and a modular tank system that is connected to the first longitudinal structural frames. The modular tank system comprises a bottom shell, an upper panel, second longitudinal structural frames arranged between the bottom shell and the upper panel and transversal structural frames that are arranged between the bottom shell and the upper panel. The transversal structural frames and the second longitudinal structural frames form compartments. The modular tank system further comprises tank bladders arranged in at least some of the compartments and sealing elements that seal the upper panel, the bottom shell, and the at least some of the compartments of the modular tank system.

A shrouded rotor assembly for an aircraft. The shrouded rotor assembly comprises a stator hollow structure comprises formed from a plurality of composite angular segments. Each composite angular segment includes: a core arched section of a central hub casing, a peripheral rim section of an external hollow duct and a pair of angularly opposed sliced portions, respectively for one of a pair of guide vanes. The resulting stator hollow structure is a unitary one-piece, integrating together continuously the composite angular segments. The invention typically applies e.g. to aircrafts such as rotary wing aircrafts.

A tail assembly for a rotorcraft. The tail assembly is manufactured to include at least one transition structure provided in the tail assembly. The transition structure is longitudinally arranged between a longitudinal median boom portion and a tail fin. A power transmission shaft of the rotorcraft extends at least partly externally above a longitudinal median boom portion of the tail assembly. The transition structure includes at an entering region a cut-out elevation step, where is made a passing through opening for the power transmission shaft.

A method for setting energy supply parameters of a field device electrical current supply module. The field device electrical current supply module is connected, in such case, exclusively to one field device. The connected field device can be supplied electrical energy by the field device electrical current supply module. In the method, a field device type of the connected field device is identified first by the field device electrical current supply module. Then, a parameter setting of at least one energy supply parameter of the field device electrical current supply module is automatically read out from a database and this is loaded into the field device electrical current supply module.

A rotary wing aircraft with a tail rotor in a rotor duct of a shroud. A bumper projects from a lower transition region of said shroud, said lower transition region having a left hand and a right hand lower transition edge between respectively the left hand and the right hand annular surface around the rotor duct and the bumper. Upper leading edges of a vertical fin and of said shroud are provided with left hand and right hand trailing edges. A projection of the upper transition edge to an upright longitudinal plane is defined by a spline curve through points Pi (i=1 . . . 5) and a projection of the lower transition edge to the plane is defined by a spline curve through points Pi (i=6 . . . 10) defined by their respective coordinates (xi, zi) relative to a centre of the shrouded tail rotor.

A method for monitoring charge level or remaining capacity of a battery pack, a disposable battery or a rechargeable battery, which is used to supply energy for an automation technology, field device having a data storage unit associated with the battery pack, disposable battery or rechargeable battery. Specific information about the battery pack, disposable battery or rechargeable battery is stored in the data storage unit and process-specific and operation-specific information about energy consumption is written to the data storage unit. In the case of the battery pack, disposable battery or rechargeable battery being used in a second automation technology field device, remaining service life of the battery pack, the disposable battery or the rechargeable battery is calculated and output on the basis of the process- and operation-specific information.

An apparatus having an electronics unit and a battery unit for energy supply of the electronics unit, wherein the battery unit has a first formed part, and wherein the electronics unit has a second formed part. The first and second formed parts are connectable with one another, wherein, by orienting, especially by rotating, the first formed part, respectively the second formed part, the first formed part and the second formed part are connectable with one another in different installed positions, and wherein the energy supply of the electronics unit occurs from the battery unit as a function of the installed position, in which the first formed part is connected with the second formed part.

Transport securing device for a battery unit

A method for integrating a field device of automation technology into a radio network composed of a plurality of field devices, wherein the field device to be integrated switches, or is switched, at start-up, respectively, first start-up, into a special start-up mode, wherein, in the special start-up mode, a peer to peer connection to a service device or to a selected field device is produced on a specific channel and wherein integration data are transmitted from the service device or the selected field device to the field device to be integrated and/or diagnostic data of the field device are transmitted to the service device or to the selected field device.

A method, in the case of which it is monitored in a wireless adapter connected to a field device whether, in the context of communication with the field device, a status change of the field device is being reported. In case a status change has been reported, the wireless adapter queries for expanded status information of the field device. The expanded status information is transmitted event-controlled from the wireless adapter to a superordinated communication unit and provided through such to an evaluation tool, in case a comparison of the expanded status information with a status pattern adapted specifically for the field device shows that the relevant, expanded status information should be evaluated.
