  • Publication number: 20160175983
    Abstract: There is proposed a method of producing an integrally bladed rotor, preferably a so-called “blisk” for a turbomachine, the method including the steps of: providing a rotor disc having a plurality of spaced-apart radial protrusions formed integrally around its perimeter; and forming a respective aerofoil-shaped blade extending radially generally outwardly from each of the protrusions via laser deposition. Each protrusion preferably extends radially outwardly from a circumferential body part of the rotor disc by a distance which is greater than the radially inward penetration of a heat-affected zone arising from the laser deposition used to form the respective blade.

  • Patent number: 9316066
    Abstract: A subsea manifold-riser system is redeployed from a first production location to a second production location. A manifold module is lowered to the ocean floor at the first production location using a marine riser as a running tool by adding threaded pipe sections to the upper end of the marine riser. The manifold module is raised from the ocean floor at the first production location for redeployment at the second production location using the marine riser as a retrieval tool by removing threaded pipe sections from the upper end of the marine riser.

  • Patent number: 9081379
    Abstract: In a method of controlling operation of a processing system, a host computer, a process tool and a component of an evacuation system, for example an abatement tool, are connected to a system bus. The abatement tool monitors signals transmitted on the system bus between the host computer and the process tool, and signals received directly from the process tool. The abatement tool uses information contained within the monitored signals to generate a signal for the process tool regarding an operating characteristic of the abatement tool. This signal is transmitted either directly or over the system bus to the process tool, which uses the generated signal to control an operating state of the process tool.
