Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a turbine section that has a ceramic matrix composite body that defines a core gaspath side that a row of blades, a forward end, an aft end, and circumferential sides. The forward end abuts at least one vane of a first row of vanes, and the aft end including a seal channel. A compliant seal is disposed in the seal channel and seals against at least one vane of a second row of vanes.

Abstract: A microelectronics substrate assembly comprising: an advanced ceramics substrate having a top surface and a bottom surface; a first metallized distribution plane on said top surface and a second metallized distribution plane on said bottom surface; an electrical connection between said first and second distribution planes; at least one first metallized pad on said top surface electrically isolated from said first distribution plane and at least one metallized pad on said bottom surface, electrically isolated from said second distribution plane, wherein said distribution planes and said metallized pads are arranged substantially symmetrically with respect to a plane between and parallel to said top and said bottom surfaces.

Abstract: An electronic package assembly having means for providing direct interconnection for one or more planar electronic circuit boards with a nearly conventional card-on-board circuit package. Electrical interconnection between the card-on-board package and the planar boards is accomplished with the use of interposer cards that utilize a pin and spring blade contact system and printed circuitry to connect corresponding pins on the planar boards and the card-on-board package. The mechanical advantage necessary to overcome the spring contact force encountered in insertion and extraction of the planar boards is provided by a unique lever arrangement which latches and unlatches the planar boards.
