Turbine airfoil with turbulating feature on a cold wall

A turbine airfoil (10) includes a flow blocking body (26) positioned an internal cavity (40). A first near-wall cooling channel (72) is defined between the flow blocking body (26) and an airfoil pressure sidewall (16). A second near-wall cooling channel (74) is defined between the flow blocking body (26) and an airfoil suction sidewall (18).

Colour display tube with improved suspension of the colour selection electrode

A colour display tube (1) is disclosed having an improved suspension system of the colour selection electrode (12). The positional stability of the colour selection electrode (12) is of eminent importance for the colour purity of the colour display tube (1). If the colour selection electrode (12) slightly shifts, the electron beams (7,8,9) may impinge on electroluminescent material of the wrong colour, leading to discolourations. It is recognized that this positional stability is improved by applying free end portions (22) of a smaller diameter on the supporting elements (17) because this will lower the friction between the free end portions (22) and the suspension means (20). This smaller diameter has the disadvantage that the insertion of the colour selection electrode (12) into the display window (3) of the colour display tube (1) becomes more difficult. This invention solves this problem by applying free end portions (22), which are provided with a centring tip (44). In order to prevent scratches - which lead to loose particles in the colour display tube (1) - when the colour selection electrode (12) is inserted or extracted, the free end portion (22) is smoothly shaped.

A turbine airfoil including a central cavity defined by an outer wall including pressure and suction sides extending between and joined at leading and trailing edges, and a chordal axis extends generally centrally between the pressure and suction sides. Rib structures located in the central cavity define radial central channels extending across the chordal axis. Radial near wall passages are defined between the rib structures and each of the pressure and suction sides of the outer wall. The radial near wall passages are each open to an adjacent central channel along a radial extent of both the near wall passages and the adjacent central channel to define a radial flow pass associated with each central channel. The flow passes are connected in series to form a serpentine cooling path extending in the direction of the chordal axis.

Shaving apparatus

ABSTRACT Shaving apparatus. A shaving apparatus comprising a shear plate with apertures and a cutting unit which is drivable relative to the shear plate and comprises a central body provided with cutting elements. Each cutting element has an associated hair-pulling element which precedes the cutting element in the direction of driving. Each combination of a cutting element and an associated hair-pulling element is formed by the limbs of a subslantially U-shaped member of a sheet material which may be manufactured as a separate part.

Microelectromechanical gyroscopes and related apparatus and methods

In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a resonant structure having a plate, a drive electrode and a sense electrode. The resonant structure defines an axis substantially orthogonal to a plane defined by the plate when the resonant structure is not excited. The plate is formed from a piezoelectric material. The drive electrode is configured to excite the resonant structure, and the sense electrode is configured to sense a signal in response to rotation of the resonant structure about the axis.
