Abstract: A clearance control assembly for a gas turbine engine that defines an axial direction and a radial direction and includes a stage of rotor blades and a shroud hanger. The assembly includes a case configured to be positioned outward along the radial direction from the stage of rotor blades when installed in the gas turbine engine. The case is further configured to be engaged with the shroud hanger at a first location when installed in the gas turbine engine. The assembly also includes a baffle positioned outward along the radial direction from the case to define a chamber therebetween. The baffle has a forward end and an aft end. The forward end of the baffle is engaged with the case to form a first seal and the aft end of the baffle is engaged with the case to form a second seal. The baffle, the case, or both define an inlet to allow a fluid to enter the chamber and the case defines an outlet to allow the fluid to exit the chamber.

Abstract: Examples include a method of managing storage for triggered operations. The method includes receiving a request to allocate a triggered operation; if there is a free triggered operation, allocating the free triggered operation; if there is no free triggered operation, recovering one or more fired triggered operations, freeing one or more of the recovered triggered operations, and allocating one of the freed triggered operations; configuring the allocated triggered operation; and storing the configured triggered operation in a cache on an input/output (I/O) device for subsequent asynchronous execution of the configured triggered operation.

Abstract: Antimicrobial dressings for prevention and mitigation of biofilm and bacterial infection by an applied electric current are provided. Methods of making the dressings and methods of applying an electric current to promote the wound healing process are also disclosed.

Abstract: Differences of electromagnetic (EM) properties between healthy and cancerous tissues allow detection of abnormal conditions occurring in a tissue of an animal, for example, intra-operative cancer detection. By using a time-varying EM field, electrical eddy currents are generated in the tissue sample, and assessed using phase-sensitive detection. In some aspects, a change in phase shift between the voltage in a receiver coil and the voltage in a driver coil provide a direct and immediate indication of differences in EM properties of specimens.

Abstract: A method of verifying a default state of a control parameter in an automobile engine includes checking engine controller performance with the control parameter in both a default state and an alternate state. The results of the tests are then compared to verify which state is the appropriate state for the particular engine being tested. A third engine controller performance check can be made to ensure that the controller and engine perform in a repeatable manner prior to setting the state of the control parameter.
