Abstract: Methods for forming high temperature coating systems are provided. In embodiments, the coating formation method includes forming a fracture-resistant Thermal Barrier Coating (TBC) layer over a workpiece surface. The fracture-resistant TBC layer is produced from a first coating precursor material containing an amount of zirconia in mole percent (ZrOmol%1) and an amount of tantala in mole percent (TaOmol%1). A Calcium-Magnesium Aluminosilicate (CMAS) resistant TBC layer is formed over the fracture-resistant TBC layer from a second coating precursor material, which contains an amount of zirconia in mole percent (ZrOmol%2), an amount of tantala in mole percent (TaOmol%2), and an amount of one or more rare earth oxides in mole percent (REOmol%2). The first and second coating precursor materials are formulated such that ZrOmol%1 is greater than ZrOmol%2, TaOmol%1 is less than TaOmol%2, and TaOmol%2 is substantially equivalent to REOmol%2.

Abstract: A display assembly with loopback cooling includes a housing for an electronic display where a first airflow pathway extends within the housing. An equipment storage device for electronic equipment located at a storage area within the housing. A second airflow pathway fluidly connects the storage area with the first airflow pathway. One or more fans, when activated, cause a flow of air to travel through a portion of the first airflow pathway extending rearward of the electronic display in a first direction and a portion of the flow to leave the portion of the first airflow pathway and travel through the second airflow pathway, at least initially, in a second direction.

Abstract: The present embodiments relate to intelligently throttling a modification message based on a period of time that a trade order is required to remain in a market. In an embodiment, intelligently throttling a modification message includes intelligently selecting a transmission time of a modification message based on a period of time that a trade order is required to remain in a market. The modification message is transmitted at the selected time to ensure that the modification order is received at an electronic exchange at or shortly after, but not before, the period of time has expired. As a result, the modification order is accepted (e.g., not rejected) by the electronic exchange. The modification order does not need to be resent to the electronic exchange.

Abstract: Disclosed is a flight deck system comprising a controller for displaying message content from an ATC conversation. The controller is configured to: receive extracted message content from a plurality of messages; and generate a ticker tape graphical element having a first panel and a second panel for display as an overlay over a primary display on an aircraft display device. The first panel has a main panel for displaying message content for a most recently received message and one or more subsidiary panels for displaying message content for up to a first predetermined number of the most recently received messages. The second panel has a bookmark main panel for displaying message content for a second predetermined number of the most recently received bookmarked messages and one or more bookmark subsidiary panels for displaying message content for a third predetermined number of the most recently received bookmarked messages.

Abstract: An application is disclosed that receives from a host exchange a plurality of trade notifications, each trade notification corresponding to an executed trade, and for each executed trade of interest, may determine whether the executed trade belongs in an aggregated set with one or more other executed trades. The application provides an indicator for indicating whether the corresponding executed trade or aggregated trade traded on the bid side or on the offer side of the market, and which indicates whether additional volume is available at the associated trade price.

Abstract: A sensor walk-test may be streamlined by storing an expected behavior of sensor events. The sensor event data is then compared to the expected behavior of sensor events in order to determine which of the plurality of sensors need a sensor walk-test to verify proper operation of the sensor and which of the plurality of sensors do not need a sensor walk-test. A listing of which of the plurality of sensors are determined to need a sensor walk-test to verify proper operation of the sensor is displayed on a display of a user device. Communication testing may be streamlined in a similar manner.

Abstract: The technologies described and recited herein pertain to a permanent magnet motor having multiple voltage taps so that the motor may run in multiple configurations, e.g., a low-range and a high-range, and have multiple optimal operating points.

Abstract: A display assembly includes a mounting structure with one or more cavities for electronic equipment located along a dedicated central airflow pathway for a first flow of ambient air. Each of a number of side assemblies are attached to a respective side of the mounting structure and include a front cover, a display layer located rearward of the front cover, an illumination device for illuminating the display layer when operated, and one or more dedicated side assembly airflow pathways.

Each layer of the plurality of pairs of alternating layers is relative less thick as compared with the environmental barrier coating layer.

Abstract: A bleed arrangement for a turbomachine that results in uniform flow to the combustor. A turbomachine includes a compressor, a combustor disposed to receive the compressed air from the compressor through a flow path, and a diffuser disposed in the flow path between the compressor and the combustor. A number of bleed holes are disposed downstream in the flow path from the diffuser and are configured to direct bleed air compressed by the compressor away from the combustor. The number of bleed holes have a plural number of sizes configured to provide uniform compressor exit flow distribution around a circumference of the diffuser.
