Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for repairing a wide crack in a hot gas path part for a gas turbine using brazing, the method including the steps of removing oxides from the inside of the wide crack of the hot gas path part, filling base metal powder and a filler into the wide crack from which the oxides have been removed, and bonding the wide crack by means of the br

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a labyrinth seal using wire arc additive manufacturing, which is mounted between a diaphragm of a turbine and a turbine rotor to induce a smooth rotation of the turbine rotor and preventing gas leakage by minimizing friction between the diaphragm of a turbine and a turbine rotor when a rotating body such as the turbine rotor rotates inside a fixed body such as the diaphragm, and which includes a ring-shaped body part and a tooth part protruding on one side of the ring-shaped body part, wherein the labyrinth seal is deposition-manufactured by 3D printing, the body part is manufactured by the wire arc additive manufacturing, and the tooth part is manufactured by a directed energy deposition.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing channel equalization in a communication system may potentially reduce power consumption in channel equalizers of communication systems. A filtering circuit filters a received data sequence as a plurality of data values to be stored in a plurality of filter cells. Each filter cell may store at least one data value and may contain a coefficient related to the stored data value. A coefficient updating circuit may update the coefficients based on at least one parameter, and may compare the updated coefficients to a threshold. Based on the comparison, filter cells of selected coefficients may be selected for restoring the received data sequence to its original state.

Abstract: An improved dry cleaning machine and process which eliminates solvent emissions while simultaneously providing cost and quality benefits. The solvent filtration apparatus and process currently used in typical dry cleaning operations is eliminated and the solvent is instead separated based on the anticipated extent of contamination wherein the less clean solvent is cleaned via a distillation unit.
