Abstract: An airfoil and turbine vanes and vane assemblies incorporating the same. The airfoil has an uncoated profile substantially in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y, and Z as set forth in Table 1, carried to four decimal places. The Z values refer to a percentage of the radial span of the airfoil measured radially from a radially outwardly facing surface of the inner platform. The turbine vane includes an inner platform, an outer platform, and an airfoil such as the one discussed above extending radially outward from the inner platform toward the outer platform. And the vane assembly includes an inner platform, an outer platform, and two or more first stage vanes extending from the inner platform to the outer platform. Each of the two or more first stage vanes include an airfoil as discussed above.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for assisting a user in creating a process diagram according to a specific methodology. A template library includes a plurality of entities associated with the methodology. Each of the plurality of entities has an associated one of a plurality of entity categories. A user interface allows a user to insert entities from the library into the process diagram and insert connections between the entities to show logical relationships between the entities. A graphical engine generates an optimal arrangement of the entities within the process diagram according to at least one characteristic of a plurality of entities and at least one connector associated with the process diagram and at least one optimization criteria when a user inserts an entity or connection. The graphical engine is operative to animate a transition between an original arrangement and the optimal arrangement.
