Publication number: 20240328329Abstract: An integrally bladed rotor (IBR) for a gas turbine engine is provided. The IBR includes a hub, rotor blades that include a test blade, and at least one heating element. Each rotor blade has an airfoil with leading and trailing edges, suction side and pressure side surfaces, and a base end. The airfoil of the test blade includes at least one slot defining a void in the airfoil. The slot extends a lengthwise distance into the airfoil along a direction generally between the leading and trailing edges of the airfoil and terminates at a slot end surface. The airfoil includes at least one internal cavity extending lengthwise from the slot end surface. The heating element is disposed in the internal cavity and selectively produces thermal energy sufficient to heat the airfoil material proximate the internal cavity to a temperature at which the airfoil mechanical strength properties are decreased.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2024Publication date: October 3, 2024Inventors: Yongsheng Zhou, Brigitte Toljagic

Publication number: 20230369985Abstract: A bidirectional DC/DC converter includes a first terminal circuit, a transformer, a second terminal circuit, and a reset circuit, and the transformer includes a first winding and a second winding. The first terminal circuit is coupled to the first winding, and the second terminal circuit and the reset circuit are coupled to the second winding. In a first time period in which the bidirectional DC/DC converter is in a second working state, the second terminal circuit transmits a second alternating current to the first terminal circuit by using the second winding and the first winding; and in a second time period in which the bidirectional DC/DC converter is in the second working state, the reset circuit is in a conducted state, to reset the second winding.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2023Publication date: November 16, 2023Inventors: Yanfeng Li, Yu Ma, Yongsheng Zhou

Publication number: 20230233605Abstract: A serum exosome with high osteogenesis and high angiogenesis, a preparation method and an application thereof are provided, which belongs to the field of bone defect repair technologies. The serum exosome is derived from a serum in a fracture recovery period, and the fracture recovery period is in a range of a second week to a fifth week after fracture. It has been found that the exosomes extracted from the serum after fracture have stronger osteogenic and angiogenic properties than exosomes extracted from normal serum, which is helpful to solve problems that large segmental bone defects, extensive traumas and other diseases are difficult to repair, and provide a new therapy for all diseases that need to be repaired and cured through osteogenic and/or angiogenic properties.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2022Publication date: July 27, 2023Inventors: Hao Liu, Yongsheng Zhou, Wei Li, Ranli Gu
