20110183366 | Methods for achieving a protective ACE2 expression level to treat kidney disease and hypertension - The present invention provides a method for enhancing expression of angiotensin converting enzyme ACE2 in the vasculature of a mammal, particularly in the renal vasculature and podocytes. The method comprises administering to a mammal in need of such enhancement (e.g., a mammal suffering from, or at risk of developing renal damage or hypertension), an amount of an angiotensin II antagonist sufficient to promote a protective level of ACE2 expression in the vasculature of the mammal. Preferably, the angiotensin II antagonist is administered in an angiotensin II blocking amount, more preferably in an amount sufficient to achieve and maintain a desired level of ACE2 expression in the vasculature of the mammal. The methods of the invention are useful for ameliorating kidney damage from diseases, such as diabetes, as well as hypertension. | 07-28-2011 |

20120321460 | VERTICAL SHAFT TURBOMACHINE - A turbomachine includes a compressor, a first shaft, a second shaft, a first turbine, and a second turbine. The first shaft carries at least one turbine wheel belonging to one of the elements selected from the first and second turbines. The second shaft carries at least one turbine wheel belonging to the other element selected from the first and second turbines. The first and second shafts are oriented substantially vertically in normal utilization situations of the turbomachine. The first shaft is held by a first single bearing while the second shaft is held by a second single bearing. | 12-20-2012 |

20130280098 | MECHANICAL PROTECTION METHOD AND DEVICE - A device and method for providing mechanical protection, and in particular to a mechanical protection device including a transmission shaft with a resonant frequency in bending that corresponds to a predetermined rotary overspeed of the transmission shaft, the transmission shaft being insufficiently damped to avoid breakage of the transmission shaft as a result of the resonance in bending. In the mechanical protection method, the transmission shaft breaks as a result of this resonance in bending. | 10-24-2013 |
20140123673 | A METHOD OF STARTING A TURBOMACHINE WHILE REDUCING THERMAL UNBALANCE - A method of starting a turbomachine, performed by an electronic unit, the turbomachine including a gas turbine engine including at least one rotor and a starter to drive the rotor in rotation, the method including: receiving an order to start the turbomachine, and executing in response to receiving the order to start: a primary acceleration during which the starter is operated to increase speed of rotation of the rotor; a thermal homogenization during which the starter is operated to keep the speed of rotation of the rotor constant or to decrease it until a predetermined condition is satisfied; after the predetermined condition is true, a secondary acceleration in which the starter is operated to increase the speed of rotation of the rotor; and an ignition in which ignition of the engine is ordered. | 05-08-2014 |
