  • Patent number: 11937429
    Abstract: Some embodiments include an integrated structure having vertically-stacked conductive levels alternating with dielectric levels. A layer over the conductive levels includes silicon, nitrogen, and one or more of carbon, oxygen, boron and phosphorus. In some embodiments the vertically-stacked conductive levels are wordline levels within a NAND memory array. Some embodiments include an integrated structure having vertically-stacked conductive levels alternating with dielectric levels. Vertically-stacked NAND memory cells are along the conductive levels within a memory array region. A staircase region is proximate the memory array region. The staircase region has electrical contacts in one-to-one correspondence with the conductive levels. A layer is over the memory array region and over the staircase region. The layer includes silicon, nitrogen, and one or more of carbon, oxygen, boron and phosphorus.

  • Patent number: 11384654
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes one of a turbine section and a compressor section having multiple stages. At least one of the stages defines an outer diameter comprised of a plurality of circumferentially arranged blade outer air seals. Each blade outer air seal is spaced from each adjacent blade outer air seal in the plurality of circumferentially arranged blade outer air seals via a mateface gap. The mateface gap is oblique to a radius of the gas turbine engine, such that air entering the mateface gap is directed to an inner diameter surface of at least one of the blade outer air seals in the plurality of blade outer air seals.

  • Patent number: 11098612
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a compressor, a combustor fluidly connected to the compressor via a core flowpath, and a turbine fluidly connected to the combustor via the core flowpath. The turbine includes at least one stage having a plurality of rotors and a plurality of vanes. An outer diameter of the core flowpath at at least one stage is at least partially defined by a set of circumferentially arranged blade outer air seals. Each blade outer air seal includes a platform. An internal cooling cavity is defined within the platform. At least one mateface of the platform includes a cooling trench, and a first set of cooling holes connecting the internal cavity to the cooling trench.

  • Patent number: 10473331
    Abstract: A combustor of a gas turbine engine may include a combustor shell, a first combustor panel coupled to the combustor shell, and a second combustor panel coupled to the combustor shell. The first combustor panel may have a first endrail and the second combustor panel may have a second endrail. An annular cooling cavity may be defined between the combustor shell and the first and second combustor panels and a channel may be defined between the first endrail and the second endrail, wherein direct line-of-sight through the channel from the annular cooling cavity to a combustor chamber is obstructed. Said differently, the interface between the adjacent endrails may be non-linear, in a direction from the annular cooling cavity to the combustor chamber.
