  • Patent number: 11092014
    Abstract: A blade track system includes a blade track configured to be positioned around a plurality of blades of a gas turbine engine. The blade track includes: a full-hoop body, an inlet port, and an exit port. The full-hoop body includes an outer surface and an inner surface. The inner surface defines an internal cooling channel extending within the full-hoop body. The inlet port and the exit port are each integrated with the full-hoop body and in fluid communication with the internal cooling channel.

  • Patent number: 10907332
    Abstract: A flush actuator assembly for a plumbing fixture includes a housing, a handle and a lever. The housing is configured to be removably coupled to the plumbing fixture. The handle is pivotally and removably coupled to the housing. The handle includes a stem configured to extend through the plumbing fixture and into the housing. The arm is removably coupled to the stem within the housing. The arm is configured to pivot with the handle. The lever is at least partially disposed in the housing, and is configured to be selectively disengaged from the stem to removably couple the handle to the housing.

  • Patent number: 10370983
    Abstract: An air distribution system for cooling a component in a heated gas environment may be provided, where the air distribution system includes a wall and a plate. The wall includes an inner surface, an outer surface configured to be exposed to the heated gas environment, and a protrusion extending from the inner surface of the wall. The plate is fixedly coupled to the protrusion and is space apart from the inner surface of the wall. The plate includes an outer edge. A passage is defined between the plate and the inner surface of the wall. The inlet of the passage is defined by the outer edge of the plate.
