Abstract: The described invention is an unique universal ink jet media. The invention incorporates a unique barrier layer based upon UV or EB curable chemistry which replaces common polyethylene extruded bases. The invention also incorporates multiple ink receptive layers. The first layer is based upon gelatin and/or polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) chemistries and gives the invention excellent ink drytime. Poor drytime is a common problem which leads to smudging and print defects, especially as ink jet printer speeds increase as technology improves. The high ink absorbency of the invention also makes this media well suited for wide format ink jet printers. The next ink receptive layer(s) are based upon pigmented, cellulose chemistry which reduces the tack of the sheet and gives the sheet good waterfastness. This is important for the end use in that the sheet may be frequently handled and exposed to dampness.

The breather further includes a breather cover seal in sealed engagement with the breather cover, and the breather cover seal includes a breather cover seal drainback hole that is aligned with the breather cover drainback hole to create a drainback passage. A breather chamber is bounded on at least one end by the breather cover and the breather seal. A breather media is positioned within the breather chamber, the breather media for removing an amount of oil from the blow-by. The amount of oil removed from the blow-by can, during operation of the engine, be drawn through the drainback passage so as to exit the breather chamber, at least partially due to gravity, and at least partially using a gearing mechanism that is in operative association with a camshaft of the engine.

Abstract: A compositionally graded gas turbine disk is made by placing a cylindrically symmetric slip case concentrically into an interior of a cylindrically symmetric outer container. A first nickel-base superalloy powder is loaded into a radially inner first portion of the interior and a second nickel-base superalloy powder is loaded into a radially outer second portion of the interior. The slip case is removed so that the first nickel-base superalloy powder and the second nickel-base superalloy powder contact in the transition region and form a non-compacted powder mass. The non-compacted powder mass is processed into a gas turbine disk, typically by compacting the non-compacted powder mass to form a compacted powder mass, and thereafter heat treating the compacted powder mass.

Abstract: In a preferred embodiment, the invention provides a circuit and method for a high reliability triple redundant latch. Three settable memory elements set an identical logical value into each settable memory element. After the settable memory elements are set, three voting structures with inputs from the first, second, and third settable memory elements and control to the settable memory elements determine the logical values held on the settable memory elements. The propagation delay through a latch is the only propagation delay of the triple redundant latch.
