Abstract: A steam injected turbine engine includes a core engine section that generates a first gas flow, a burner where an inlet flow is mixed with fuel and ignited to generate thermal energy, and an evaporator where thermal energy from at least the first gas flow is used to transform water into a first steam flow. The first steam flow is injected into a core flow through the core engine.

Abstract: A component, and a method of forming a component, including a plurality of representative volume elements, each of the representative volume elements abutting at least one other representative volume element to form the component. Each of the representative volume elements includes at least one dividing structure bound by surfaces offset from a parting surface. The shape and contour of the parting surface defined by a mathematical expression that equals a non-zero constant, the mathematical expression selected to define a triply periodic surface when the expression equals zero.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly that includes a first connector component that has a housing supporting at least one first exposed contact at an interface surface thereof and has a body portion for terminating a first cable. A second connector component is adapted to slidably receive the first component such that the components are mated and unmated in the same direction. The second component includes a housing supporting at least one second exposed contact at an interface surface thereof and has a body portion for terminating a second cable. When the first component is received in the second component, the components are mated such that the first exposed contact engages the second exposed contact, thereby forming a first electrical connection therebetween and a longitudinal axis of the first cable is spaced from and substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the second cable.
