US Patent:

20180322222, Nov 8, 2018

Filed:

May 8, 2017

Appl. No.:

15/589635

Inventors:

- Schenectady NY, US
Hoil Song - Greenville SC, US
Mohamed Karim Baig - Bangalore, IN
Jason Anton Byers - Greenville SC, US

International Classification:

G06F 17/50

Abstract:

A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable medium, including computer-readable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computer, cause the one or more processors to generate a first digital product definition associated with a computer-aided design (CAD) model. Furthermore, the computer-readable instructions cause the one or more processors to present, via a graphical-user-interface (GUI) on a display, the first digital product definition, such that the first digital product definition includes product and manufacturing information (PMI) associated with the CAD model, generate a second digital product definition based on a selection via the GUI, such that the second digital product definition includes a portion of the PMI associated with the CAD model that is indicated by the selection, receive an indication to modify at least a subset of the portion of the PMI of the second digital product definition, modify the at least subset of the portion of the PMI of the second digital product definition based on the indication, and update the PMI of the first digital product definition, based on the modification to the subset of the portion of the PMI.

- Schenectady NY, US
Jason Anton Byers - Greenville SC, US
Prashant Madhukar Kulkarni - Simpsonville SC, US

International Classification:

G06F 17/50

Abstract:

A system includes a display, a processor, and memory storing instructions that cause the processor to receive a request to scale one or more objects of on a model depicted on the display, identify the one or more objects of the model, determine one or more model parameters of the model, such that the model parameters include information indicative of the one or more objects, the model, the display, or any combination thereof, calculate a size for the one or more objects of the model based on the one or more model parameters; and scale the one or more objects based on the size for the objects.

International Classification:

F01D 5/14
F01D 5/18

Abstract:

A blade includes an airfoil body defined by a concave pressure side outer wall and a convex suction side outer wall that connect along leading and trailing edges and, therebetween, form a radially extending chamber for receiving the flow of a coolant. The airfoil body has an inner surface facing the radially extending chamber and an outer surface, a first corrugated surface on a portion of the outer surface, and a second corrugated surface on the inner surface paralleling the first corrugated surface. The corrugated surface on the outer surface of the airfoil provides wake mixing. The blade may also include an integrally formed impingement cooling structure having a third corrugated surface parallel to the second corrugated surface, which is made possible through additive manufacturing. The impingement cooling structure so formed provides improved cooling of the blade.
