  • Publication number: 20220242795
    Abstract: Slurry and tape compositions include particles of a precursor that converts to a ceramic material when heated to a firing temperature, at least one binder that is capable of adhering the particles of the ceramic precursor together to form a pliable prepreg tape, at least one liquid plasticizer, and at least one solvent in which the binder is dissolved. The solvent may be sufficiently volatile to evaporate from the slurry composition during formation of the tape, yet the tape may also be pliable as a result of the slurry composition containing a sufficient amount of the liquid plasticizer.

  • Patent number: 11080167
    Abstract: A debug work is performed with respect to states after execution of a plurality of commands which is collectively issued from a processor to an arithmetic processing apparatus. A command register group holds commands issued from the processor in respective registers with a command chain including a plurality of commands as a unit. A command processing section processes the commands supplied from the command register group. A state machine manages processing states of the commands in the command processing section. A control section previously sets a condition under which stop is to be performed in the command chain as a stop condition and causes to stop the processing in the command processing section on the basis of the previously set stop condition and the processing states managed in the state machine.

  • Publication number: 20140241900
    Abstract: Methods for repairing a turbine airfoil constructed from a CMC material are provided via filling a cavity located in the turbine airfoil with a ceramic paste (e.g., including a ceramic powder and a binder), heating the ceramic paste in the cavity to remove the binder, thereby forming a porous ceramic material, and adding a molten ceramic material to the porous ceramic material. The cavity can be defined in an airfoil of the turbine airfoil (e.g., on a tip or cap of the airfoil). Intermediates formed during the repair of a turbine airfoil are also provided. The intermediate can generally include an airfoil comprising a CMC material, a cavity defined in the airfoil, and a porous ceramic material filling the cavity.

  • Patent number: 8651955
    Abstract: A game device includes a packet processing section that processes a packet that is transferred between the game device and another game device via a network, a game calculation section that performs a game calculation process based on data transferred using a packet, and an image generation section that generates an image based on a result of the game calculation process. The game calculation section performs a game sequence process as the game calculation process in each game sequence interval. A packet that is transferred between the game device and the other game device includes a packet ID that specifies the type of data transferred using the packet, and an interval ID that specifies the game sequence interval that utilizes data transferred using the packet. The packet processing section compares the interval ID included in a received packet with the interval ID of a current game sequence interval.

  • Patent number: 8305475
    Abstract: A solid-state image sensor element outputs either n bits or in a bit number of an integral multiple of n in synchronization with an output clock. An allocating unit allocates respective bit data of pixel signals obtained by the solid-state image sensor element into at least two series of bit data alternately, in synchronization with a clock converted by a clock converting unit. A first selector selects an output from the bit data allocated by the allocating unit and the bit data not allocated by the allocating unit. A second selector selects an output from a clock with a frequency converted by the clock converting unit and a clock with a frequency not converted by the clock converting unit.
