20130048807 | MULTI AXIS SLIDE CARRIAGE SYSTEM - A multi axis slide carriage system includes a channeled track, a slide, a shaft and a slide carriage bracket. The channeled track extends along a first axis. The slider slides along the first axis within the channeled track, and includes a slider segment aperture extending therein along a second axis. The shaft includes a slider segment connected to a carriage bracket segment. The slider segment slides along the second axis within the slider segment aperture. The slide carriage bracket is positioned adjacent to the channeled track, and is connected to the carriage bracket segment. | 02-28-2013 |
20130121813 | FLEXIBLE SEAL SYSTEM FOR A GAS TURBINE ENGINE - A flexible seal system for a gas turbine engine includes an annular mounting bracket, an annular support bracket, an annular flexible seal and a plurality of mounting spacers. The flexible seal extends axially between a first mounting segment and a second mounting segment. The first mounting segment is connected axially between the mounting bracket and the support bracket, and includes a plurality of mounting apertures that extend axially through the first mounting segment. Each of the mounting spacers is arranged within a respective one of the mounting apertures, and extends axially between the mounting bracket and the support bracket. | 05-16-2013 |
20140182292 | INTEGRAL INSTRUMENTATION IN ADDITIVELY MANUFACTURED COMPONENTS OF GAS TURBINE ENGINES - An article includes a body portion made of a metal and configured for use in a gas turbine engine, a sensing feature monolithically formed with the body portion, and an interior passage connected to the sensing feature and passing through the body portion. An article with integrated sensing features may be made additive manufacturing, resulting in a structure having internal passageways connecting an aperture at one surface of the monolithic article to a second aperture at another surface of the monolithic article at the opposite end of the internal passageway. | 07-03-2014 |
