Publication number: 20120034102Abstract: A bucket assembly and a method for forming the bucket assembly are disclosed. The bucket assembly includes a platform, an airfoil, and a lower body portion. The platform defines a platform cooling circuit configured to flow cooling medium therethrough. The airfoil extends radially outward from the platform. The lower body portion extends radially inward from the platform. The lower body portion defines a root and a cooling passage extending from the root. The cooling passage is configured to flow cooling medium therethrough. The platform and lower body portion further include a ligament between the cooling passage and the platform cooling circuit.

Publication number: 20110027090Abstract: A dual-component locking spacer assembly for insertion in a circumferential dovetail slot includes a stationary member having a platform configured to fit into a space between the adjacent rotor blade platforms. A first leg extends transversely from an underside of the platform. A longitudinally extending groove is defined in the platform. A slide member is movably engaged with the stationary member along the groove, and includes an upper plate and a second leg connected to the upper plate. The slide member is movable along the groove between a first unlocked position wherein the first and second legs are spaced apart a first distance so as to be insertable into the dovetail slot, and a second locked position wherein the first and second legs are spaced apart an extended second distance so as to engage against opposite walls of the dovetail slot and lock the stationary member in position in the dovetail slot.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2009Publication date: February 3, 2011Applicant: GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANYInventors: MATTHEW STEPHEN CASAVANT, BRADLEY TAYLOR BOYER

Publication number: 20090198788Abstract: A method of providing a fast path message transfer agent is provided. The method includes receiving bytes of a message over a network connection and determining whether the number of bytes exceeds a predetermined threshold. If the number of bytes is less than a predetermined threshold, then the message is written only to memory. However, if the number of bytes exceeds the predetermined threshold, then some of the bytes (e.g. up to the predetermined threshold) are written to memory, wherein the remainder of the bytes are stored onto the non-volatile storage. If the message was received successfully by each destination, then the message is removed from the memory/non-volatile storage. If not, all failed destinations are identified and the message (with associated failed destinations) is stored on the non-volatile storage for later sending.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2009Publication date: August 6, 2009Applicant: Mirapoint Software, Inc.Inventor: Bradley Taylor

Publication number: 20030088757Abstract: A reconfigurable chip is described using a reconfigurable functional unit including a shifter unit, arithmetic logic unit and multiplexers. The data path units are interconnected to other data path units. The interconnection is preferably done by transferring word length data. The shifter allows for the word length data to be adjusted for use in the arithmetic logic unit. In a preferred embodiment the reconfigurable functional units are controlled by reconfigurable functional unit instructions. The reconfigurable functional unit instructions preferably are stored in a reconfigurable functional unit instruction memory which is addressed by a state machine on the chip.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2002Publication date: May 8, 2003Inventors: Joshua Lindner, Gary Lai, Bradley Taylor, Peter Lam, Mark Rollins, Vladimir Dinkevich, Craig B.

Patent number: 5664170Abstract: A network database. The network database is arranged in a plurality of domains in a logical hierarchy. Each domain of the hierarchy represents a body of information associated with a logically related group of users or related group of computers. A relative naming scheme is implemented in which a domain stores the names of only its parent domain and child domains. This permits reconfiguration of the network to be accomplished without changing the database structure. Each domain stores information in a hierarchical structure known as a "directory." Each directory consists of a list of zero or more "properties," each having an associated name and ordered list of values.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 1995Date of Patent: September 2, 1997Assignee: NeXt Computer, Inc.Inventor: Bradley Taylor
