  • METHOD FOR ULTRASONIC PEENING OF GAS TURBINE ENGINE COMPONENTS WITHOUT ENGINE DISASSEMBLY
    Publication number: 20110308290
    Abstract: A method for peening a component of a gas turbine engine, or a module of a gas turbine engine, without removing the component from the assembled gas turbine engine or module includes blending the damaged area of the component, determining parameters for peening the damaged component, and peening the damaged component without removing it from the engine.

  • Solid-state flight data recording system
    Patent number: 4646241
    Abstract: Flight parameter data is real time sampled in successive sample frames and temporarily stored in memory for one or more sample frame intervals, the stored sample values are examined to detect extremes in parameter values with time, periodic ones of the temporarily stored sample frames are permanently stored in memory at fixed frame intervals notwithstanding the presence or absence of extreme values in the sample set data, sampled frames intermediate to the fixed frames are stored only in the presence of extreme sample values amoung selected ones of the sensed flight parameters.

  • Holder for crossed wires
    Patent number: 4578896
    Abstract: A wire holding device adapted for holding or retaining wires that intersect or pass each other such as in a grid trellis. A piece or block of material is provided having slots or openings in it on opposite sides of the material in an angular orientation with respect to each other corresponding to the angular orientation of the wires to be held.
