Patent number: 9982686Abstract: An elastomeric dampening link including two or more interconnected dampening bushings mounted around corresponding ones of two or more adjustable length turnbuckles linked to devices and elastomeric dampening link includes at least one bar connecting adjacent ones of the dampening bushings. Clamping bands of clamp may be clamped around each of the dampening bushings. Bar may be in tension between the dampening bushings. Each of the turnbuckles may include a rod disposed in a corresponding one of the dampening bushings and having distal hollow internally threaded first end, first eyelet mounted on the first externally threaded shank adjustably screwed into internally threaded first end. One of the bushings may be substantially solid, have a rectangular slot extending inwardly from an annular surface of bushing, and the rod may have six sided surface with two opposite sides slidingly engaging and fitting snugly in the slot. Turnbuckles and links may be used to actuate variable stator vanes.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2015Date of Patent: May 29, 2018Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Aldo Daniel Ramirez Ollervides, Luis Alejandro De Leon Teran, Timothy Jay VanDemark, Steven Edward Horner, Sr.

Publication number: 20180121404Abstract: A tool is provided for document or design code completion. The tool includes a storage element in which common and user-specific unfinished work indicators are stored in first and second databases, respectively, a search element and a processor. The search element is disposed to identify unfinished work in documents by searching for matches of first text within the documents with second text of the common and user-specific work indicators in the first and second databases. The processor is configured to create a third database including the second text and pertinent sections of the documents. The pertinent sections are respectively associated with the second text and verifiably marked as unfinished by natural language processing of the first and second text by the processor. The processor is further configured to update the first and second databases based on results of the natural language processing.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 2, 2016Publication date: May 3, 2018Inventors: Susan M.

Patent number: 9552304Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes storing commands and maintaining an order of receipt of the commands in a command processing unit. The commands include address translation cache miss commands that are organized as one or more linked lists and stored in a content-addressable memory (CAM). All nodes within a single linked list include commands having addresses that map to the same hash value. Based on receiving a memory fetch completion indicator for a cache entry for a command in a head node in a linked list, all of the commands in the linked list are returned. The returning includes sending the commands in the linked list to an address translation unit in an order specified by the linked list.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2015Date of Patent: January 24, 2017Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: David M.
