  • Publication number: 20240125272
    Abstract: A component for a gas turbine engine, including: at least one internal cavity extending through the component, the internal cavity having at least one inlet opening and at least one outlet opening each being in fluid communication with the at least one internal cavity; a plurality of cooling features extending from a surface of the at least one internal cavity, the plurality of cooling features are formed in accordance with at least one of the following groups: i) a plurality of airfoil shaped features that extend upwardly from the surface of the at least one internal cavity and a plurality of wedge shaped features each having a triangular base that has an upstream portion and a downstream portion, the upstream portion extending further from the surface than the downstream portion; ii) a plurality features having a curved or ā€œJā€ shaped base that extends upwardly from the surface, a plurality features having a double curved or symmetrically ā€œJā€ shaped base that extends upwardly from the surface, and a pluralit

  • Patent number: 7228280
    Abstract: A signature array of digitally sampled audio is formed from segment(s) of the digitally sampled audio by counting the number of occurrences within the segment(s) in each of a plurality of value bands or slots, such as amplitude bands. The signature array undergoes a fuzzy comparison with signatures arrays in the database. If more than one potential match is found, a more precise comparison is made. In the case of compact discs (CDs), five second sample segments may taken from the beginning, middle and end of each track to detect, e.g., the amplitude of the digitally sampled audio on the CD. A CD signature array may be formed of approximately 2000 value bands or slots by accumulating the occurrence of signals within each slot for all of the sample segments of the CD.
