20090104356 | METHOD OF COATING AND A SHIELD FOR A COMPONENT - A gas turbine engine is used for power generation or propulsion and includes vanes. Each vane includes a trailing edge having a curvature and cooling slots that cool the vane. A photochemical edge shield includes an edge and projections that project from the edge. Before coating the vane, the photochemical edge shield is positioned on the vane such that each of the projections is received in one of the cooling slots. A ceramic coating is then applied to the vane. The photochemical edge shield prevents the ceramic coating from entering and clogging the cooling slots of the vane during the ceramic coating process. | 04-23-2009 |

The lift system is capable of positioning a wing in a substantially horizontal position. The number of robots is capable of applying a number of finishing compounds to at least one of an interior of the wing and an exterior of the wing, while the wing remains in the substantially horizontal position. | 09-16-2010 |
20100316804 | METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A TUBULAR BODY - A method for manufacturing a tubular body, includes: attaching a first member to an outer or inner peripheral surface of one end in an axial direction of a cylindrical core, along a circumferential direction of the peripheral surface thereof; applying a first resin solution on the peripheral surface, to cover it and the peripheral surface of one end of the first member closer to the center of the core, and to form a coating (first coat film); attaching a second member to the peripheral surface of the end of the first coat film on the side where the first member has been attached; applying a second resin solution on the peripheral surface of the first coat film, to cover it and the peripheral surface of the end of the second member closer to the center, and to form a coating (second coat film); peeling off the first and second members. | 12-16-2010 |
20110086169 | METHOD FOR MASKING COOLING HOLES AND DEVICE FOR USING IN A MASKING PROCESS FOR MASKING COOLING HOLES - A method of masking cooling holes of a turbine component, in particular a turbine blade or vane, for a coating process is provided. The component includes an external surface to be coated, at least one internal cavity having an opening towards the outside of the component, and cooling holes extending from the at least one internal cavity to the external surface. The method comprises the steps of: filling the cooling holes with a masking material and hardening the masking material. The masking material, water, is used to fill in the cooling holes. The hardening is done by freezing the water to water ice. A method of coating an external surface of a turbine component and a device for use in a masking process for masking cooling holes in a turbine component are also provided. | 04-14-2011 |
20110177250 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MASKING A COMPONENT ZONE - An apparatus and a method for masking a component zone which is to be omitted by the spray jet during the thermal spraying of a component is disclosed. The apparatus can be elastically deformed at least partially at room temperature for attachment to the component. During the thermal spraying operation the apparatus has at least one inelastic region such that the impinging spray particles adhere to the surface thereof. After the thermal spraying operation, the apparatus can be removed from the covered component zone without leaving any residue. In this way, a simple, reusable solution is created, which avoids the disadvantages of the prior art. | 07-21-2011 |
20120328784 | METHOD FOR INTERSTITIAL POLYMER PLANARIZATION USING A FLEXIBLE FLAT PLATE - A method and structure for forming an ink jet print head having a dielectric interstitial layer. A flexible top plate attached to a press can be used to apply pressure to an uncured dielectric interstitial layer. The uncured dielectric interstitial layer is cured while contacting the uncured dielectric interstitial layer with the flexible top plate and applying pressure using the press. Using a flexible top plate rather than a rigid top plate has been found to form a cured interstitial layer over an array of piezoelectric elements which has a more uniform or planar upper surface. An interstitial layer so formed can result in decreased processing time, reduced problems with ink communication in the ink jet print head during use, and decreased manufacturing costs. | 12-27-2012 |
20130059083 | System For Painting Door Areas - An improvement of traditional painter's tape for use after painting an object, especially a door. The tape has a conventional adhesive on one side, and a wax or wax-based coating on the opposing side. It is designed so that the adhesive side is placed against a door jamb, and the wax side is to be placed against the painted door when the door is shut. This allows the door to remain operational after painting without the possibility of the door sticking to the door jamb. The present invention can also be placed on a window sill for a freshly painted window, preventing the window from sticking to the window sill. | 03-07-2013 |
20130171353 | PRESSURE MASKING SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USING THE SAME - Methods of pressure coating a target surface of an article comprising one or more passageways include fluidly connecting a pressure masker comprising pressurized masking fluid to a first side of at least one passageway, passing the pressurized masking fluid through the at least one passageway from the first side to a second side comprising the target surface, and, coating the target surface using a coating material, wherein the pressurized masking fluid passing through the at least one passageway prevents the coating material from permanently altering a cross sectional area of the at least one passageway. | 07-04-2013 |
20140186534 | MASKING METHOD USED IN SURFACE TREATING PROCESS - A masking method for a surface treating process provides an injector filled with infilling material and injecting the infilling material in holes having any shape or size or irregularity in a workpiece. The infilling material is cured to form a protective plug in the hole. The infilling material includes resin resistant to the surface treating process. The infilling material overfills the hole and partly protrudes out from the hole. The protective plug adheres to every inner surface of the hole to protect the inner surfaces of the hole from the surface treating process. Gripping and pulling on the partial protrusion of the protective plugs, that are formed from the cured resin, from the hole elastically reduces the original girth or diameter of the infilling material in the hole to allow easier physical removal. | 07-03-2014 |
20160121363 | COAT-IN-PLACE ASSEMBLIES AND METHODS TO PROVIDE AN AESTHETICALLY PLEASING SPRINKLER ASSEMBLY - Coat-in-place assemblies and methods to provide an aesthetically pleasing sprinkler assembly. A coat-in-place assembly includes a sprinkler body having a proximal portion and a distal portion, a thermally responsive trigger disposed adjacent the distal portion; and an escutcheon centered about the distal portion of the sprinkler body to define a void between the sprinkler axis and the escutcheon. A coating-inhibiting-cap encloses and protects the thermally responsive trigger between the sprinkler body and the cap. The cap extends into the void and is radially spaced inward relative to the escutcheon so as expose surfaces of the escutcheon for coating. | 05-05-2016 |
