20130115092 | ISOTHERMAL STRUCTURAL REPAIR OF SUPERALLOY COMPONENTS INCLUDING TURBINE BLADES - Structural repair of cracks and other defects in superalloy components, such as steam or gas turbine blades in stationary or aero gas turbines, are performed by heating the blade substrate to an isothermal hold temperature below the substrate's incipient melting point and filling the crack with molten superalloy filler material. The molten filler solidifies into a casting and bonds with the component substrate at the isothermal hold temperature. Heat treatment processes are completed, so that the former crack is filled with cast superalloy material having identical or similar structural properties as the adjoining substrate superalloy material. The casting repair method may be utilized universally for all types of superalloy component defects, including those previously repaired by cosmetic, lower strength welding or brazing methods. | 2013-05-09 |

These design features include the following; that the designed assembly has a much larger total blade footprint than prior bladed assemblies, that the assembly's blades overlap each other with the leading edge of the following blade overlapping the trailing edge of the preceding blade, that the assembly has multiple designed blade twist angles that occur within each blade and at segmented lengths along each blade and that the assembly's blades are dimensionally segmented with width to length ratios as a percentage of overall length. | 2013-05-09 |
20130115094 | VACUUM PUMP - Provided is a vacuum pump in which no finish processing has to be carried out after shaping of a cylindrical rotor even in use of a cylindrical rotor obtained by shaping a fiber-reinforced plastic material into a cylindrical shape.

Further, the relative velocity of the reciprocating motor increases such that the relative velocity of the reciprocating motor is faster than the relative velocity of the compression unit, thereby improving the efficiency of the motor. | 2013-05-09 |

The two suction check valves are located close to the pump inlet, above the shaft, and the valves' outlets connect immediately into the diaphragm chambers. The two discharge check valves are located close to the pump outlet, below the shaft, and the valves' inlets connect immediately from the diaphragm chambers. The arrangement of the check valves, all accessible from the topside, allows the valves to be removed for maintenance from above, after disassembly of just the operating fluid distribution module and the check valve access caps, without disconnecting the pump from the fluid line. Similarly the arrangement of the chamber covers allow the diaphragms, without fastenings, to be removed for maintenance from the pump sides, after disassembly of only the operating fluid distribution module and the chamber covers, without disconnecting the pump from the fluid line. | 2013-05-09 |
