Abstract: A case press is disclosed. The case press has a ram moveable relative to a base by an electric actuator. The case press also has a sensor for determining relative movement between the ram and the base. Further, the case press has a load cell for measuring a load exerted by the ram on a die positioned, in use, between the ram and the base.

Abstract: A system may include a memory having computer-readable instructions stored thereon and a processor that executes the computer-readable instructions to receive, from a user, a first login credential associated with an organization on a database management service. The system may receive, from the user, a selection of the first cloud account, retrieve a second login credential for the first cloud account based on the selection, automatically log in to the first cloud account using the second login credential, receive, from the user, input to perform an operation on data in the first database on the first cloud, and transmit, to the first cloud, using the second login credential for the first cloud account, a signal to perform the operation based on the input.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an induction annealing apparatus adapted to anneal cartridge cases to improve their reusability. In one implementation, the apparatus includes a power supply unit and a plurality of annealing units, each including a magnetic core having ends separated by an air gap. An induction coil is wound around the magnetic core to generate a magnetic field in the air gap. A cartridge case holder holds the cartridge case such that the neck of the cartridge case is positioned in one of the air gaps. The power supply unit selectively connects to the annealing units to supply power for a predetermined length of time, and the size of the air gap of the magnetic cores of each of the annealing units may differ. In other implementations, the size of the air gap may be adjustable, and a temperature sensor or a ferrite stake may be included.

Abstract: A turbine blade includes a shank portion and an airfoil portion with leading and trailing edges and a radially outer tip. An internal closed-loop cooling circuit is formed within the airfoil portion and includes at least one radial outflow passage and at least one radial inflow passage connected by at least one respective tip turn at the radially outer end of the airfoil portion. At least one tip turn is provided with a single turbulence-enhancement device on an underside of the radially outer tip, projecting into the tip turn.

Abstract: A nozzle assembly (10) for a turbine engine includes an inner band (16) and an outer band (14) spaced apart from each other. An airfoil (12) installed between the bands has a leading edge (18) and a trailing edge (20). The airfoil has cavities formed in it for fluid flow through the nozzle assembly. A plurality of film cooling holes (1A–6H) are formed in a sidewall of the airfoil on a concave side of the assembly, and a plurality of film cooling holes (1J–1R) are formed in a sidewall of the nozzle on a convex side thereof. The holes are formed on each side of the airfoil, adjacent the trailing edge of the nozzle, in a plurality of rows of holes including at least a forward row (C, J), an aft row (A, L), and an intermediate row (B, K). The spacing between the intermediate row and aft row is substantially closer than the spacing between the forward row and the intermediate row.
