Abstract: A sealing assembly (FIG. 2) for attaching pliable tubes (30) to rigid connecting members (12), for high pressure, low temperature service, which seals by compressing a sealing wafer (18) around the pliable tubes (30). The pliable tubes (30) pass through holes in the sealing wafer (18). As the wafer seal (18) is axially compressed, the wafer seal (18) is restrained against radial expansion, thereby exerting an inward radial pressure on the holes through the wafer seal (18) to cause an hermetic seal between the wafer seal (18) and the pliable tubes (30). A swage bushing (16) can be used, with swage tubes (16) that are swaged onto the pliable tubes (30) by a swage clamp (16), for the purpose of axially restraining the pliable tubes (30).

Abstract: A hybrid vane (50) for a gas turbine engine having a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) airfoil member (52) bonded to a substantially solid core member (54). The airfoil member and core member are cooled by a cooling fluid (58) passing through cooling passages (50) formed in the core member. The airfoil member is cooled by conductive heat transfer through the bond ((70) between the core member and the airfoil member and by convective heat transfer at the surface directly exposed to the cooling fluid. A layer of insulation (72) bonded to the external surface of the airfoil member provides both the desired outer aerodynamic contour and reduces the amount of cooling fluid required to maintain the structural integrity of the airfoil member. Each member of the hybrid vane is formulated to have a coefficient of thermal expansion and elastic modules That will minimize thermal stress during fabrication and during turbine engine operation.

Abstract: The invention is a method for removing trapped water bottom multiples (figur e 2, item 19), receiver side peg-leg multiples (13), and source side peg-leg multiples (15) from dual sensor (figure 1, item 6), OBC (7) data, where the data includes both pressure signals and velocity signals. The pressure and velocity signals are compared to determine any polarity reversals between th em (figure 3, item 21). Polarity reversals are used to identify and separate up - going and down-going wavefields in the pressure and velocity signals (22). A matching filter is applied to a portion of the velocity signal where polarit y reversals exist (24). The down-going wavefield is then estimated by calculating the difference between the portion of the velocity signal where polarity reversals exist and the portion of the pressure signal where polari ty reversals exist and applying a scaling factor to the result (26). An attenuated up-going pressure wavefield is then determined by combining the estimated down-going wavefield and the pressure signal (28).
