Abstract: A gas turbine engine turbine stage has an annular row of turbine airfoils including a first plurality of first airfoils having a first chord length and a second plurality of second airfoils having a second chord length shorter than the first chord length. At least one of the second airfoils is circumferentially disposed between each adjacent pair of the first airfoils. A second leading edges of the second airfoils are located downstream of first leading edges of the first airfoils. The first and second airfoils have different first and second temperature capabilities respectively and the first temperature capability is greater than the second temperature capability. The first and second airfoils may be made from different alloys and/or the second airfoils may be constructed to use lower amounts of cooling airflow than the first airfoils. More than one of the second airfoils may be disposed between each pair of the first airfoils.

Abstract: A method and system for data cache with browser notification of a change in the cache and update of the browser information content from the cache. A subset of data in a larger SQL type database, in the form of a lite cache is extracted and stored in RAM. The lite cache includes a record ID and one variable, although the SQL type database typically includes a plurality of variables associated with the record ID. The lite cache is updated on a periodic basis from the SQL type database. A client browser establishes an HTTP connection with a server and loads a web page with information content including content from the lite cache. The server and client also establish a TCP socket connection to pass messages from the server to the client over the socket connection. When the lite cache is updated and it is determined that browser content from the lite cache needs update or has changed, the application server triggers transmission of a change notice message over the socket connection.

Abstract: A surgical table apparatus is provided for supporting a patient before, during, or after a surgical procedure. The surgical table apparatus includes a base and a table top. The table top includes a body support section adapted to support the body of a patient and a head support section adapted to support the head of a patient.

Abstract: A method and system for data display and data capture using applets within hidden frames on a browser. A visible frame and two invisible frames are passed to a client in response to an http request. The visible frame may include multiple layers. The hidden frames contain applets such as Java Server programs (JSP), but do not contain any visible html. Static data that is used for data display and data selection (e.g. pick boxes) is contained within one hidden frame. An applet, such as JSP within the other hidden frame provides an interface between the visible frame and the server to retrieve dynamic data, or verify data entry.

Abstract: A patient-support apparatus includes a base, a patient-support deck, a deck-positioning assembly coupling the patient-support deck to the base, and a locking mechanism, the locking mechanism having a first state to prevent longitudinal movement of the patient-support deck relative to the base, and a second state to allow longitudinal movement of the patient-support deck relative to the base.

Abstract: Compositions having improved gas/vapor barrier qualities are described. The compositions are composed of a substantially non-polar resin and a lamellar filler, the lamellar filler delaminating under high shear, to increase its aspect ratio. Also described are compositions composed of a non-polar thermoplastic resin filled with platelets of talc having an aspect ratio of at least 5; the platelets have an average aspect ratio of between 16-30 and a CIE whiteness index of at least 40.

Abstract: A door panel assembly including a door panel having a dry side and a wet side, a drive mechanism being secured to the door panel via at least a first mounting feature and a cable drum being secured to the door panel via at least a second mounting feature, in which the at least one first and at least one second mounting features are located on the same side of the door panel.

Abstract: An assembly including a first, second and third component and a first and second fixing member, the first, second and third component having respective first, second and third holes, the first hole being a threaded hole, in which the first fixing member cooperates with the second hole and a first threaded portion of the first fixing member engaging the first hole to secure the first component to the second component, the first and second fixing member cooperating with the third hole with the first fixing member engaging the second fixing member to secure the third component to the first component, in which the first component is situated between the second and third component.

Abstract: A door panel assembly including a door panel having a first and second side, a drive mechanism being mounted on the first side of the door panel and having an output shaft on which is mounted a window regulator cable drum, and a window regulator cable drum housing being mounted on the second side of the door panel and being made of metal and having at least one integral cable support.

Abstract: An assembly including a first, second and third component having respectives first, second and third holes, the assembly further including a locating means assembled into the first, second and third holes, the locating means having at least a small diameter cylindrical portion which is concentric relative to a large diameter cylindrical portion to provide a shoulder, the locating means further including a fixing portion proximate the small diameter portion for securing the second component relative to the assembly and a fixing portion proximate the large diameter portion for securing the third component relative to the assembly, in which the small diameter cylindrical portion is located in the second hole in order to align the locating means relative to the second component, and a large diameter portion is located in the third hole in order to align the locating means relative to the third component, thereby aligning the second component relative to the third component, in which the first component is situate

Abstract: A turbine includes three rows of airfoils which receive in sequence hot combustion gases during operation. The third row airfoils are clocked circumferentially relative to the first row airfoils for bathing the third row airfoils with relatively cool wakes discharged from the first row airfoils during the hottest running condition of the gas turbine engine being powered. The third row airfoils therefore avoid the hottest temperature of the combustion gases for reducing the cooling requirements thereof.
