Abstract: An outer air seal assembly (44) cooled by a combination of impingement cooling and film cooling is disclosed. Various construction details are developed which provide impingement of cooling fluid on a radially outer side of an outer air seal assembly (44) and ejection of a film of cooling fluid over a radially inner surface (52) of the outer air seal assembly (44). In a particular embodiment, an outer air seal assembly (44) includes a substrate (54), an apertured cover (56) disposed outward of the substrate (54), and a layer of abradable material (58) extending radially inward of the substrate (54) and defining a flow surface (52). Cooling fluid is directed through the apertures (72), into a cavity (66), and impinges upon the outer surface of the substrate (54). A plurality of film cooling holes (76) extend through the substrate (54) and abradable layer (58) and provide fluid communication between the cavity (66) and flowpath (14). The cooling holes (76) are oriented to eject cooling in a film over the flow surface (52). In another embodiment, the cavity (66) includes a longitudinally extending chamber (112) disposed in an enlarged portion (108) of the air seal (46) to enhance cooling thereof and reduce stresses therewithin.

Abstract: On décrit un frein de bouche de canon permettant de réduire le recul d'un canon d'une arme à feu. Il comprend un tube cylindrique creux (7) possédant une extrémité avant ouverte et au moins deux orifices sur sa paroi (4). Chacun de ces orifices est équipé d'un moyen d'obturation (6) fixé sur le tube et pouvant se déplacer entre une position fermée et une position pleinement ouverte. Chaque moyen d'obturation (6) possède au moins un élément de sollicitation associé (22), destiné à le forcer vers la position fermée. Cet élément de sollicitation est de préférence préchargé afin d'introduire une inertie dans le mouvement du moyen d'obturation (6). Cette inertie est d'un degré tel que l'onde rapide de pression de l'explosion passe sans effet, mais que les effets plus longs de l'onde d'éjection provoquent l'ouverture du moyen d'obturation. De plus, le frein comprend au moins une surface (13, 30) de déflexion des gaz vers l'arrière, permettant de dévier l'onde d'éjection vers l'arrière et de produire ainsi un effet de freinage.

Abstract: A vascular dilatation device for enlarging a flow passage in an obstruction in a vessel carrying flowing blood. A flexible cylindrical dilatation member is provided for placement in the obstruction and has first and second ends and an intermediate portion between the first and second ends with an interior flow passage extending therethrough having a diameter and a longitudinally extending central axis. The diameter of the flow passage is variable with movement of the first and second ends relative to each other along the longitudinally extending central axis from a contracted position to an expanded condition. The flexible cylindrical dilatation member is comprised of a plurality of flexible elongate elements each of which extends helically about the longitudinally extending central axis. First and second collars respectively engage the first and second ends of the flexible cylindrical dilatation member to retain the first and second ends in contracted positions. A mechanism is provided for causing relative axial movement of the first and second ends towards each other to cause an intermediate portion of the flexible cylindrical dilatation member to expand to form a rigid cylinder and thereby enlarge the obstruction spaces between the flexible elongate elements at the first and second ends so that blood in the vessel can continue to flow through said first and second ends and through the interior flow passage.
