Abstract: A vibration-damping component, a gas turbine engine having the vibration-damping component and a method for forming such component are disclosed. The vibration-damping component comprises a body formed from an additive manufacturing material by an additive manufacturing process and defining a cavity within the body, and a vibration damper disposed within the cavity. The vibration damper comprises a damping element and a damping medium containing a viscoelastic material surrounding the damping element. The damping element has a relative motion when the component vibrates.

Abstract: The Fence Master is an apparatus and method of unrolling and stretching fence wire for use with a vehicle such as a bobcat, tractor, pallet fork attachment or as pulled trailer. This device is designed to aid in the installation of fencing such as woven, barb or welded wire and other types of roll fencing. The device stretches fencing against the preset posts as it is spooling the fencing material by applying constant tension on the dispensed fencing. This device allows the installer to attach the fence to the posts without loosing tension and having to re-stretch the fence before permanently attaching it. The fencing material is guided through the tensioning drums that apply pressure onto the fencing material. The tensioning drums are adjustable and tension is applied to the wire by an adjustable band brake. The device holds four rolls of fencing wire that allows for continuous fencing by splicing a new roll to the end of another before going through the tensioning drums.
