  • Publication number: 20240125385
    Abstract: A zero turning radius mower park brake system includes a park brake pawl on a transmission which engages a park brake to a pair of independently driven traction wheels. A park brake link may be pivotably mounted to the park brake pawl and connected to a left steering lever and a right steering lever. The park brake link may pivot while moving the park brake pawl forward to a park brake engaged position if only one of the steering levers is moved outward from a neutral traction drive position.

  • Patent number: 11959396
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine article includes a silicon-containing ceramic wall that has an external combustion gaspath side and an internal side that borders a cooling air cavity. The external combustion gaspath side has an associated combustion gas flow direction there along. An array of cooling holes extends through the silicon-containing ceramic wall and connects the internal side with the external combustion gaspath side. The cooling holes are oriented to discharge cooling air to the external gaspath side in a direction counter to the combustion gas flow direction.

  • Publication number: 20230106346
    Abstract: An additive material manufacturing (AMM) system is provided to deposit powder to a build. The AMM system includes a powder supply, and a delivery mechanism. The powder supply receives a first electrical charge having first polarity. The delivery mechanism receives a second electrical charge having second polarity opposite first polarity. The build receives a third electrical charge having the first polarity. The third electrical charge of the build is greater than the second electrical charge of the delivery mechanism. The delivery mechanism receives the electrically charged powder where it is retained thereto based on electrostatic attraction generated between the first polarity of the electrically charged powder and the second polarity of the delivery mechanism. The electrocharged powder is from the delivery mechanism to the build based on electrostatic attraction generated between the first polarity of the electrically charged powder and the second polarity of the build.

  • Patent number: 11286783
    Abstract: An airfoil includes an airfoil section that has an airfoil wall that surrounds a cavity. The airfoil wall includes an exterior monolithic ceramic shell and an interior CMC liner that has CMC plies. An outermost ply of the CMC plies forms tabs that are raised from an underlying ply so as to define a slot. The exterior monolithic ceramic shell includes an underlapping shell piece and an overlapping shell piece. The underlapping shell piece has a portion disposed in the slot and bonded with the tabs. The overlapping shell piece extends over the tabs and is bonded to the tabs. There are channels bounded by adjacent ones of the tabs, the underlapping shell piece, and the overlapping shell piece. Channel orifices through the CMC liner connect the cavity and the channels.
