Abstract: A turbine blade includes a platform, a blade airfoil attached to one side of the platform, a blade root attached to the other side of the platform, a manifold attached to the blade root. The blade root defines a first cooling passage and a second cooling passage. The manifold includes an outer wall, a first compartment having a first flow area defined by a first aperture formed at the outer wall, and a second compartment having a second flow area defined by a second aperture formed at the outer wall. The first compartment meters a non-zero first flow of cooling air to the first cooling passage through the first flow area. The second compartment meters a non-zero second flow of cooling air to the second cooling passage through the second flow area that is different than the first flow area.

Abstract: A method of translating a structured document into a dynamic interactive document having fillable fields, the method including the steps of: (a) inputting the structured document into a computer resource; (b) initially utilising the parsable structure of the structured document to determine input fillable fields in the structured document; and (c) outputting a second structured document including a series of interactive fillable fields corresponding to the determined input fillable fields.
