Abstract: A pneumatic actuator is integrated into a foot control valve. It includes a pneumatically activated piston that applies a force to the foot control valve primary piston which, in turn, applies the vehicle brake system. The piston is configured to allow the pedal or treadle actuated plunger to push through the pneumatic actuator and apply the brake system. This finds particular use as an add-on feature for pre-trip inspection systems, as a working brake system, etc.

Abstract: The invention resides in a film cooled article such as a
turbine engine blade or vane, having a wall with a hot
surface  (26)  to be film cooled. The hot surface  (26)  includes a
depression  (48)  featuring a descending flank  (52)  and an
ascending flank  (54) . Coolant holes  (60) , which penetrate
through the wall, have discharge openings residing on the
ascending flank  (54) . During operation, the depression
locally over-accelerates a primary fluid stream  F  flowing
over the ascending flank while coolant jets  (70)  concurrently
issue from the discharge openings. The local over-acceleration
of the primary fluid deflects the jets onto
the hot surface and spatially constrains the jets thus
encouraging them to spread out laterally and coalesce into
a laterally continuous, protective coolant film. In one
embodiment, the depression  (48)  is a trough  (50) . In another
embodiment, the depression is a dimple  (72) .
