The food processing machine comprises a crushing cutter device, a machine head or a machine base, a motor, a barrel and a control circuit board, wherein the barrel is provided with a sealing device, has or does not have a heating device. An electric sucking pump is arranged on the machine head, the machine base, the sealing device, the barrel or a barrel handle of the food processing machine, the sucking port of the electric sucking pump is positioned in the barrel and above the foodstuff liquid level, the exhaust port of the electric sucking pump is communicated with the outer part of the barrel; and the electric power source of the electric sucking pump is an independent motor, an electromagnetic vibration device, a piezoelectric ceramic vibration device or the crushing cutter device of the food processing machine. A sealing mode is adopted to seal the barrel of the food processing machine, the electric sucking pump is used to pump air out of the barrel, then crushing and heating are carried out to crush and heat the foodstuff in the barrel of the food processing machine under the vacuum condition, the oxidation of the foodstuff liquid is greatly reduced and avoided for the crushing and heating processes, so the nutritive loss is reduced, and the good taste and appearance color are kept.

An aircraft having a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) propulsion system. The aircraft includes a fuselage, the VTOL propulsion system, at least one forward thruster, a power source used for both the VTOL propulsion system and forward thruster, fore and aft wings and a plurality of spars attached to and spanning the space between the two wings. The VTOL propulsion system includes a plurality of VTOL cells (including a motor, motor controller, and propeller) attached in a spaced relation along each spar. The VTOL cells are used exclusively for vertical flight or hovering and are powered down as the aircraft develops forward flight velocity and corresponding wing lift. During forward flight the VTOL propellers are articulated to allow the aircraft to take on a low drag configuration. The present invention is suitable for use in manned or un-manned aircraft of any scale.

An engine power extraction control system controls the main propulsion engines and the electrical machines that are coupled thereto to supply an appropriate amount of aircraft thrust and electrical energy to the aircraft. The engines and electrical machines are also controlled so that the propulsion thrust that is generated is split between the various turbines in the main propulsion engines to maintain an adequate surge margin and to minimize residual thrust generation.

The present application discloses an axial operator that is configured for use with a door assembly. The axial operator comprises a rotatable operator output member that rotates about an operator axis, the operator output member being constructed and arranged to be operatively connected within the door assembly such that the operator output axis extends generally vertically. An electric motor has a rotatable motor output member that rotates about the operator axis. The motor is constructed and arranged to selectively rotate the motor output member about the operator axis. A reduction transmission is connected between the motor output member and the operator output member. The reduction transmission is constructed and arranged such that the transmission rotates the operator output member at a lower rotational speed than a rotational speed at which the motor rotates the motor output member and applies a higher torque to the operator output member than a torque which the motor applies to the motor output member.
