  • Patent number: 11692447
    Abstract: A tip shroud may include a platform to couple to an airfoil having a pressure side and a suction side. A front tip rail and a rear tip rail extend radially from the platform with each including a downstream side, an upstream side, and an origin(s). Each of the downstream side and the upstream side of the rear tip rail and the downstream side of the front tip rail has a shape having a nominal profile substantially in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y, Z set forth in a respective table and originating at a selected origin. The Cartesian coordinate values are non-dimensional values of from 0% to 100% convertible to distances by multiplying the X, Y, Z values by a minimum rear tip rail X-wise extent expressed in units of distance. The X, Y, Z values are connected by lines to define each respective surface profile.

  • Patent number: 11679184
    Abstract: A dialysis machine (e.g., a peritoneal dialysis (PD) machine) can include a pressure sensor mounted at a proximal end of a patient line made of a distensible material that provides PD solution to a patient through a catheter. During treatment, an occlusion can occur at different locations in the patient line and/or the catheter. When an incremental volume of additional solution is provided to the patient line while the occlusion is present, a change in pressure results. The change in pressure depends on dimensions and a distensibility of a non-occluded portion of the patient line. If the change in pressure, the incremental volume, properties related to the distensibility of the patient line, and some of the dimensions of the patient line are known, a location of the occlusion can be inferred. An occlusion type can be inferred based on the location of the occlusion.
