  • Patent number: 11359656
    Abstract: A mounting pin assembly includes a first mounting component. The assembly also includes a second mounting component having a first leg located on a first side of the first mounting component and a second leg located on a second side of the first mounting component. The assembly further includes a mount pin extending through an aperture of the first leg, an aperture of the first mounting component, and an aperture of the second leg, the mount pin having a conical shoulder region in contact with a chamfer of the second leg. The assembly yet further includes a self-locking nut plate threaded to the mount pin.

  • Patent number: 11174757
    Abstract: An assembly is provided for a turbine engine with an axial centerline. This assembly includes a turbine engine structure and a valve assembly. The turbine engine structure includes an outer duct wall, an inner duct wall, a first flow path and a second flow path. The inner duct wall is radially inward of the outer duct wall. The first flow path is radially inward of the inner duct wall. The second flow path is radially outward of the inner duct wall and is radially inward of the outer duct wall. The valve assembly includes a valve element and a valve actuator. The valve element is configured to regulate flow of fluid between the first flow path and the second flow path. The valve actuator is configured to move the valve element. The valve actuator is positioned entirely radially outward of the outer duct wall.

  • Patent number: 10154083
    Abstract: A system for collaborating on a component includes a first computing device configured to execute a first multi-user CAx environment and a plurality of second computing devices, each being configured to execute a corresponding second multi-user CAx environment. Each of the second multi-user CAx environments includes a display module configured to cause the corresponding second device to display at least a portion of a component, the component including a plurality of subcomponents wherein at least one of the subcomponents is a released subcomponent, and the first multi-user CAx environment including a first release tracking module configured to cause each of the second multi-user CAx environments to display a visual indication of a released status of the released subcomponent.

  • Publication number: 20170009915
    Abstract: An adapter and seal system is provided. The system may comprise a cylindrical body centered about an axis and a first thread disposed about an outer diameter of the cylindrical body. A protrusion on the cylindrical body may extend radially outward from the cylindrical body with a surface orthogonal to the axis partially defining the protrusion. A circular trench may be formed in the surface and may open in an axial direction towards the first thread. A metallic C-seal may be disposed in the circular trench.
