  • Methods and apparatus for controlling contact within stator assemblies
    Patent number: 7597542
    Abstract: A method enables a stator assembly for a turbine engine to be assembled. The method comprises forming a recess within a portion of each base, and coupling the stator vanes within the turbine engine in a circumferentially-spaced arrangement such that the recessed portion of each base facilitates reducing excitation responses of each of the plurality of stator vanes during engine operation.

  • Stator vane profile optimization
    Patent number: 7384243
    Abstract: An airfoil for a stator vane having an uncoated profile substantially in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z set forth in Table I is provided. The profile is carried only to three decimal places wherein Z is a distance from a platform on which the airfoil is mounted and X and Y are coordinates defining the profile at each distance Z from the platform.

  • Source loading apparatus for imaging systems
    Patent number: 7126142
    Abstract: A transmission source loading apparatus for an imaging system utilizing a transmission source is disclosed. The source loading apparatus comprises a storage container for storing the transmission source, and a translation device. The translation device is adapted for advancing the transmission source from the storage container into a holder device for use of the imaging system. A gantry for an imaging system utilizing a transmission source is also disclosed. The gantry includes a gantry housing, a detector ring, a holder device for rotating the transmission source in a rotation path associated with the detector ring, and a transmission source loading apparatus.

  • Source pin loading methods and apparatus for positron emission tomography
    Patent number: 6794667
    Abstract: A method for transporting a source pin in a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) system having a transmission ring includes aligning the transmission ring with a source pin within a storage device having a magnetic force holding the source pin in place, and moving the source pin from the storage device to the transmission ring using a magnetic force greater than the magnetic force of the storage device.
