Publication number: 20230311199Abstract: An intermediate investment casting mold includes at least a shell and a core. The shell has an outer surface and an inner surface, with the inner surface defining an interior for the shell. The core is located in the interior of the shell and is at least partially spaced from the inner surface of the shell. A void can be defined as the space between the core and the inner surface. The intermediate investment casting mold can include a plurality of anchors.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 5, 2022Publication date: October 5, 2023Inventors: Evin Nathaniel Barber, Joshua L.

Patent number: 9869196Abstract: An arcuate panel for a thermal control assembly includes an arcuate panel base, at least one axially extending panel header sealingly attached to a radially outwardly facing surface of the panel base, a plenum therebetween, one or more spray tubes or channels depending radially inwardly from the panel base and in fluid communication with the plenum, and radially outwardly biasing spring means mounted on or attached to the radially inwardly facing surface of the panel base. The panel may include at least one set of clockwise and counter-clockwise hinge wings attached to clockwise and counter-clockwise ends of the panel base, axial positioning, and circumferential positioning. The axial positioning may include a circular row of spring clips mounted on the panel base. A hoop of arcuate panels pivotably attached by hinges may encircle a portion of a casing compressing leaf springs against rings of the casing.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2015Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Christophe Jude Day, Christopher Francis Poranski, James Edward Thompson, Jeffrey Scott Laubenthal, James L.

Patent number: 8338736Abstract: A method for making a test specimen includes machining out a chordal core from an annular forging and machining the specimen symmetrical about a chordal axis of the core. A linear cutting tool such as a wire EDM machine is used for the machining which includes at least a partially cylindrical cutting about the chordal axis with the linear cutting tool. A copper or brass tubular EDM electrode may be used. The chordal core may be machined from fat of the forging. The test specimen may have with a gauge section diameter in a range of 0.1-0.5 inches. The EDM process may include directing jets of machining fluid or dielectric in up and down along a cutting portion of an EDM wire of the EDM machine or performing the EDM process in a tank of machining fluid or dielectric with the annular forging submerged in the fluid or dielectric.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2008Date of Patent: December 25, 2012Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Christophe Jude Day, Mark Douglas Ehresman, Clifford Edward Allen, Jr., Mark Joseph Gleason, Michael Joseph Gambone
