Patent number: 8939707Abstract: Turbine and compressor casing abradable component embodiments for turbine engines, with composite grooves and vertically projecting rows of stepped first ridges in planform patterns, to reduce, redirect and/or block blade tip airflow leakage downstream into the grooves rather than from turbine blade airfoil high to low pressure sides. Each stepped first ridge has a first portion proximal the substrate surface with a pair of first opposed lateral walls terminating in a plateau, and a second portion terminating in a ridge tip. These ridge or rib embodiments have first lower and second upper wear zones. The lower zone, which at and below first portion height, optimizes engine airflow characteristics, while the upper zone, between the plateau and the second portion ridge is optimized to minimize blade tip gap and wear by being more easily abradable than the lower zone.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2014Date of Patent: January 27, 2015Assignee: Siemens Energy, Inc.Inventors: Ching-Pang Lee, Kok-Mun Tham, Gm Salam Azad, Zhihong Gao, Neil Hitchman, David G.

Patent number: 8939706Abstract: Turbine and compressor casing abradable component embodiments for turbine engines, with composite grooves and vertically projecting rows of ridges in planform patterns, establishing upper and lower wear zones. The lower wear zone reduces, redirects and/or blocks blade tip downstream airflow leakage, while the upper wear zone is optimized to minimize blade tip gap and wear by being more easily abradable than the lower zone. An elongated first ridge in the lower wear zone terminates in a continuous surface plateau. A plurality of second ridges or nibs, separated by grooves, project from the plateau, forming the upper wear zone. Each of the second ridges has a planform cross section smaller than the plateau planform cross section and a height smaller than the first ridge height. Some embodiments of the second ridges have spacing, planform cross sections, heights and separating groove dimensions selected for shearing when contacted by turbine blade tips.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2014Date of Patent: January 27, 2015Assignee: Siemens Energy, Inc.Inventors: Ching-Pang Lee, Kok-Mun Tham, Gm Salam Azad, Zhihong Gao, Neil Hitchman, David G.

Patent number: 7975980Abstract: An adjustable water valve of time-controlled type consists of an inner shell and a time-controlled apparatus. The time-controlled apparatus is disposed inside the inner shell and includes an elastomer and a push rod. The elastomer is disposed between a support lid and the push rod. When the push rod is pushed into the inner shell, the water valve is opened, so the user can wash with the water ejected. After certain time, the water pressures are balanced and the elastomer which has been compressed will push the push rod back to its initial position to close the valve.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2006Date of Patent: July 12, 2011Assignee: Highplus International Co., Ltd.Inventors: Youyue Gao, Zhihong Gao
