Abstract: A cost effective method is provided for determining empty and/or near empty medical and other medical emergency oxygen tanks employing a single, simple device for practicing the method, comprised of 5 or 6 readily obtainable components, to issue visual and audible alarms when the oxygen pressure of a medical oxygen tank has decreased to a predetermined pressure, deemed too low to provide the needed and/or prescribed oxygen flow rate to a patient to alert medical personnel and other caregivers that it is time to replace the tank in with a full tank.

Abstract: A workflow is processed by plurality of activity servers, each of the plurality of activity servers performing at least one of a plurality of activities. In step a, a workflow packet requiring one of the plurality of activities to be executed is retrieved from a workflow queue. In step b, the activity is executed by the one of the plurality of activity servers. In step c, a next activity to be performed is determined based on workflow transition information. In step d, the next activity is executed if the one of the plurality of activity performs the next activity. In step e, the next activity is forwarded to the workflow queue if the one of the plurality of activities does not perform the activity. Steps a-e are repeated until all of the plurality of activities in the workflow are executed.

Abstract: A turbine engine blade has an attachment root, a platform outboard of the attachment root, and an airfoil extending from the platform. The airfoil has pressure and suction sides extending between leading and trailing edges. An internal cooling passageway network includes at least one inlet in the root and a plurality of outlets along the airfoil. The passageway network includes a leading spanwise cavity fed by a first trunk. A streamwise cavity is inboard of a tip of the airfoil. A spanwise feed cavity feeds the streamwise cavity absent down-pass. A second trunk feeds the spanwise feed cavity.

Abstract: A turbine airfoil includes a span wise extending cavity formed from a ceramic mold and a slot extending from the cooling air cavity to a trailing edge being formed by a refractory metal core. The refractory metal core facilitates the reduction in the size of the slot and also in the reduction in the size of pedestals which pass transversely through the slot to interconnect the pressure side to the suction side of the airfoil. The blade has a cutback feature to expose a back surface on the inner side of the suction side wall with dimples being formed on the back surface so as to enhance heat transfer characteristics thereof. Provision is made for fabricating the dimples by way of a photo etching process.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine blade has a relatively large fillet to improve the characteristics of the air flow thereover. The fillet has a thin wall which partially defines a fillet cavity therebehind, and cooling air is provided to the fillet cavity and is then routed to the outer surface by way film cooling holes. Various design features are provided to enhance the effectiveness of the cooling air being provided to both the fillet cavity and other cavities within the blade.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine blade has a relatively large fillet to improve the characteristics of the air flow thereover. The fillet has a thin wall which, together with an impingement rib, defines a fillet cavity therebetween, and cooling air is provided to flow through impingement holes in the impingement rib and impinge on the rear surface of the fillet. The impingement holes are elongated in cross sectional shape with their elongations being orient in a direction generally transverse to a radial direction.
