Abstract: A sealant spreader device fills voids around a drilled hole with sealant in glued-in-rod (GIR) structures. A liquid sealant may be applied to the base of a drilled hole. A sealant spreader device is then inserted to the base of the drilled hole, through the sealant. The sealant spreader device is then withdrawn while rotating. The sealant spreader device includes winged sections having contours which force the sealant radially outward toward walls of the hole, into any voids around the circumference of the drilled hole, and leaves a thin layer of sealant around the circumference of the drilled hole.

Abstract: A multi-cell inductive wireless power transfer system includes multiple transmitting elements. Each transmitting element includes one or more transmitting windings and one or more transmitting magnetic cores. The multi-cell inductive wireless power transfer system also includes multiple receiving elements. The transmitting elements are separated from the receiving elements by an air gap. Each receiving element includes one or more receiving windings and one or more receiving magnetic cores.

Abstract: A method and structure for an independent programming tool for analyzing business separations-of-duties conflicts for users and profiles in an object-oriented application, the tool including a database containing a matrix of transactions, descriptions, object authorization values, and transactional separations-of-duty conflicts; an analysis engine adapted to use data from the object-oriented application in conjunction with the matrix to analyze business conflicts and produce separations-of-duties conflict reports about the object-oriented application; and a user interface adapted to control the tool.

Abstract: A high memory capacity dual in-line memory module (DIMM) for use in a directory-based, distributed shared memory multiprocessor computer system including a data memory for storing data and a state memory for storing state or directory information corresponding to at least a portion of the data. The DIMM allows the data and the state information to be accessed independently. The DIMM can be configured in a plurality of storage capacities.

Abstract: A system (30) for outputting digital data stored in a memory of a computer (12) in accordance with the invention includes a graphics display processor (20), coupled to the memory, for processing the digital data stored in the memory to produce at least one serial data stream including clock information, which is a function of a clock signal representative of a rate at which the at least one display formatted serial data stream is outputted, and display information for use in controlling a video monitor; a video channel (24), coupled to the display processor, for outputting the at least one serial data stream produced by the graphics display processor; a data processing memory (52); and a data processing system (40, 44 and 50) for processing the at least one serial data stream in response to the clock information and for removing at least the display information and controlling storing of the at least one of the at least one serial data stream with the display information removed which contains the digital dat

Abstract: A dynamic random access memory (DRAM) single in-line memory module (SIMM) having optimized physical dimensions achieves high speed and high storage capacity. The DRAM SIMM has a printed circuit board with a multi-contact connector, a plurality of DRAM sets, each set having a plurality of DRAM chips mounted on the printed circuit board, and a plurality of buffers which are also mounted on the printed circuit board. The number of buffers is equal to the number of DRAM sets. Various standard DRAM chips can be used on the SIMM to achieve different performance and storage capacity, while maintaining plug compatibility of the multi-contact connector with a memory board. The buffers buffer the control and address signals for the DRAM chips, which is necessary to keep control and address signal integrity due to the number of DRAMS. The buffers permit each DRAM to receive the necessary control and address signals in a more synchronized fashion, so that relative delays are well controlled.

Abstract: Nozzle block vanes having damaged trailing edge sections are repaired by removing the damaged section and replacing it by a new forged replacement trailing end section. The replacement section is coated with an erosion resistant coating leaving an uncoated border on three sides, preferably beveled. The coated section is welded to the vane and walls of the nozzle block and the weld portion ground to give a uniform contour between the vane and replacement section. The block is heat treated or the heat affected zone heat treated to provide a repaired vane.

Abstract: A laminated metal structure and a method of hardsurfacing stainless steel base metals are herein provided for resisting wear of steam turbine components at elevated temperatures. The laminated metal structure employs a buttering layer, sandwiched between the stainless steel base metal and a hardsurfacing layer. The buttering layer consists essentially of nickel or a nickel-based alloy and is selected to have a coefficient of thermal expansion which is between that of the base metal and that of the hardsurfacing material. This improved structure produces a relatively crack-free deposit that can provide greater service life for turbine components with less downtime due to repairs.
