Title: Laser cladding a turbine engine vane platform
Inventor: KANG DAVID
IPC: F02C7/00
Filed: 2000-08-04
Abstract: A method of refurbishing turbine engine vanes (2) in which an alloy blend of a cobalt based superalloy and a nickel base superalloy corresponding to the base material of the turbine vane cobalt platform and the base nickel material of the replacement turbine vane airfoils is laser clad to the gaspath surfaces of the turbine vane platform. Laser cladding with the alloy blend allows the use of replacement airfoils with improved castings in the form of improved nickel based superalloys, and allows a coating to be uniformly applied to the gaspath surfaces of the vane. According to the method, the platforms (4, 6) are separated from the airfoils (8, 10) and laser clad with a blend of cobalt based superalloy and nickel based superalloy. The vane is then reassembled using the laser clad platform and at least one replacement airfoil.

IPC: B29D30/36
Filed: 2002-09-19
Abstract: A tire building drum has a center section (720) and two end sections (722,724). Each end section is provided with an expandable bead lock assembly (726) . The center section is preferably expandable. The expandable bead lock assembly comprises a carrier ring (CR) and a plurality of elongate links (K) extending between the carrier ring (CR) and a plurality of radially-expandable segments (S). When the carrier ring moves inward (towards the center section), the radially-expandable segments (S) move radially outward, urging a plurality of axially extending, circumferentially spaced-apart finger segments (F) outward from a collapsed position to an expanded position, and at least one position therebetween. In an embodiment of the invention, the bead lock assembly comprises a cylinder and two pistons (P1, P2) disposed within the cylinder. The pistons are free to move axially within the cylinder, in response to pneumatic pressure. The first piston (P1) is constrained from moving axially inward by rods (R1P1,R2P1,R3P1). The second piston (P2) is connected by rods (R1P2,R2P2,R3P2) to the carrier ring (CR). Pressurized air supplied through hoses (H1,H2,H3) and passageways in the cylinder (73) control the movement of the pistons (P1,P2) so that the beach lock assembly can be partially-expanded, fully-expanded, and retracted, unexpanded position.

Abstract: An improved flat panel sound radiator assembly is provided for reproducing high quality sound at volume levels substantially higher than existing flat panel sound radiator systems. The assembly includes a flat panel radiator having a core sandwiched between facing skins. The core, which preferably is a honeycomb core, and the skins are made of materials that result in a substantially enhanced signal-to-noise ratio and enhanced bass response when reproducing sound.      The flat panel radiator is disposed within a frame and the peripheral edges of the radiator are movably coupled to the frame with a compliant surround. An exciter, which may be a traditional magnet structure, is mounted on and supported by a bridge structure spaced from the inside face of the radiator and is coupled to the radiator only through a voice coil assembly. In use, the radiator produces sound through distributed mode reproduction below a sound level threshold..      However, when large vibrations are imparted to the radiator corresponding to high volume level or deep bass sounds, the compliant surround accommodates pistonic motion of the entire radiator panel to produce these sounds in a substantially pistonic mode.
