  • Publication number: 20240167391
    Abstract: A blade outer air seal has seal mount hooks on both a leading edge of the central web and a trailing edge of the central web. The seal mount hooks have a generally radially outward extending section extending to a generally axially extending section. The seal mount hooks have a support face which is to be supported on a support mount hook. The support face is generally formed about a single radius of curvature over at least 50% of a circumferential length defined from a radially inner end of the support face to a radially outer end of the support face. A radius of curvature of the inner support surface is greater than or equal to 0.150 inch and less than or equal to 0.300 inch. A blade outer air seal and a gas turbine engine are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11982187
    Abstract: A blade outer air seal arc segment includes a ceramic matrix composite body that defines a core gaspath side, a non-core gaspath side opposite the core gaspath side, a forward end, an aft end, and circumferential sides. The ceramic matrix composite body has first and second flanges on the non-core gaspath side. The ceramic matrix composite body is comprised of fiber plies disposed in a ceramic matrix. The fiber plies include flange fiber plies that have a +/?15-75 degree ply layup arrangement.

  • Publication number: 20240110488
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a turbine section that has a ceramic matrix composite body that defines a core gaspath side that a row of blades, a forward end, an aft end, and circumferential sides. The forward end abuts at least one vane of a first row of vanes, and the aft end including a seal channel. A compliant seal is disposed in the seal channel and seals against at least one vane of a second row of vanes.

  • Publication number: 20240110487
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a turbine section that has a retainer ring, a first vane that bears against the retainer ring to prevent movement of the first vane in a first axial direction, a second vane axially spaced from the first vane, and a blade axially between the first vane and the second vane. A blade outer air seal is situated radially outwardly of the blade. The blade outer air seal includes a ceramic matrix composite body that defines a core gaspath side that faces the blade, a forward end, an aft end, and circumferential sides. There is a spring seal at the aft end of the blade outer air seal that seals against the second vane. The spring seal provides a preload that biases the blade outer air seal against the first vane and thereby biases the first vane against the retainer ring.

  • Publication number: 20140346957
    Abstract: The present invention provides a medical lighting system (1), in particular an operating lighting system, comprising: a set of light sources (2) for illuminating a determined area and having one or more modifiable optical properties; and a control device (6) for controlling the set of light sources (2), in order to modify said one or more optical properties as a function of a command from a user. In particular, the control device (6) is a control device having a gestural interface and comprising: two sensors (7, 8) mounted some distance from each other, each sensor delivering a signal corresponding to a detection zone and the detection zones of the two sensors (7, 8) including a common detection zone for detecting a gestural command from the user; and analysis means receiving as input the signals coming from both of the sensors (7, 8) and configured to modify said one or more optical properties as a function of said gestural command.
