  • Patent number: 8544173
    Abstract: A turbine nozzle may be repaired by severing the inner band from the vanes and outer band, which may then be discarded. A replacement nozzle is cast to include replacement vanes extending between a replacement outer band and an inner web, with the replacement outer band and vanes conforming with the original outer band and vanes. The new web is configured differently than the old inner band and includes a tie bar. The inner band is machined to form vane seats. The web is machined to form plinths atop the tie bar at each of the replacement vanes. The plinths and tie bar are assembled through the vane seats and bonded to the machined inner band to collectively form the repaired turbine nozzle.

  • Patent number: 6592330
    Abstract: A dovetail assembly including non-parallel relief faces that facilitates reduced pressure face brinelling in turbine engines. The assembly includes a plurality of rotor blades, each including a dovetail. Each dovetail includes at least a pair of blade tangs including blade relief faces. The dovetail assembly also includes a rotor disk including a plurality of dovetail slots, each sized to receive a dovetail. Each dovetail slot is defined by at least one pair of opposing disk tangs including disk relief faces. The disk relief faces are non-parallel to the blade relief faces when the dovetail is mounted in the dovetail slot.

  • Publication number: 20030113206
    Abstract: A turbine nozzle includes segments of outer and inner bands supporting corresponding vane pairs. The bands adjoin each other at corresponding ends along splitlines, with each band having a forward land, an opposite aft land, and a middle land extending therebetween. The forward lands have a nominal aft-facing step, the aft lands have a nominal forward-facing step and the middle lands are nominally flush.

  • Patent number: 6439837
    Abstract: A nozzle vane includes a row of trailing edge apertures and cooperating inboard slots joined in flow communication with a mid-chord cavity. An outboard slot is spaced outwardly from a respective last one of the inboard slots, and outboard of a respective last one of the trailing edge apertures. The outboard slot extends behind a braze joint between the vane and a supporting band and is effective for backside cooling thereof.

  • Patent number: 5299173
    Abstract: A sonar buoy 40 has narrow-beam sonar heads 80, 82 driven by a stepper motor 84. The heads produce sonar data for example accurately measuring the seabed. The buoy is handled by a crane wire 41 held taut by a float above the buoy and attached to a clump weight 46 resting on the seabed (although shown in retracted condition). A wire 50 runs from a winch 48 around pulleys 52 on the weight 46 and is connected to a lever 54 of a gimbal mechanism 56 which has two transducers 62, 70 giving measurements of the "X" position and the "Y" position of the buoy. A footage mechanism 76 is driven by the wire 41 and has a transducer giving a measurement of the heave position. A compass 88 and roll and pitch transducers at 86 give measurements of the heading position and the roll and pitch positions. The sonar data is compensated for the position of the buoy using a computer.
