Abstract: The present disclosure is generally directed to techniques for radial alignment of motor components relative to each other to achieve a motor with a rotor bore having sub-micron end-to-end deviation. In an embodiment, a rotor bore alignment tool is disclosed herein that can be inserted between motor components, and more particularly, apertures/through holes defined by each of the motor components such as housing sections and a stator assembly. The rotor bore alignment tool includes expandable members that can be selectively transitioned to an extended position to cause each of the motor components to be radially aligned prior to securely coupling the same in a so-called “stack” to form a motor. Once the motor components are coupled together, the resulting motor includes a rotor shaft extending from end-to-end that preferably includes a sub-micron deviation of less than 10 microns, and more preferably less than or equal to 5 microns, for example.

Abstract: A rotor comprises a disk having a rim. The rim has an axial face facing one of a forward or rearward direction. The rim defines a circumferential groove. A damper engages with the rim at both the axial face and the circumferential groove. The disk includes a rotor hub having a hub inner surface facing a longitudinal axis about which the rotor hub rotates. The rim is spaced radially outwardly relative to the hub inner surface. The axial face extends radially inwardly from the rim to the hub inner surface. The circumferential groove is formed within the hub inner surface. The damper comprises a split ring damper with a first leg mounted within the circumferential groove and a second leg that extends from the first leg, surrounds a radial lip of the hub inner surface, and extends radially outwardly to contact the axial face. An integrally bladed rotor is also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to recombinant phages carrying fusion peptides that bind to avian influenza virus (AIV). Such phages are useful as diagnostic reagents to replace anti-AIV antibodies because the phages are capable of competing with the latter antibodies for binding sites on the virus. Synthetic peptides with the sequence CNDFRSKTC, either in linear or cyclic conformations, or fusion phages bearing the above said peptides inhibited AIV propagation in embryonated egg as well as in MDCK cell lines. Therefore they may be used as'therapeutic agents to control, to treat and to eradicate bird flu caused by avian influenza virus.

Abstract: A turbine disk includes a rotor and a plurality of turbine blades, each comprising a root at a proximal end secured to the rotor and a tip having a shroud at a distal end. The shroud includes a inner diameter surface, an outer diameter surface and a segmented sidewall surface separating the inner and outer diameter surfaces. The shrouds of adjacent turbine blades are separated by a tip shroud damper, and which includes a retention rail that cooperates with the outer diameter surface to maintain a positional relationship of the damper, a inner flange that engages the segmented sidewall surface, and a web that separates the retention rail and the inner flange. The tip shroud damper reduces the vibratory responses of modes involving axial and radial shroud motion to prevent high cycle fatigue (HCT).
