| 20110164957 | Method and Apparatus for Double Flow Turbine First Stage Cooling - A cooling path is defined through a double-flow steam turbine. The steam turbine includes a generator end and a turbine end and a double-flow tub diaphragm disposed axially between the generator end and the turbine end. A first stage of the steam turbine includes a plurality of first stage nozzles and a plurality of first stage buckets, and a steam path is defined from an inlet region, through the turbine end, to a steam outlet. The cooling path includes cooling holes in the tub diaphragm and root radial seals permitting steam flow beneath the tub diaphragm and around the first stage nozzles and back into the steam path before the first stage buckets. | 07-07-2011 |

| 20110085905 | TURBOMACHINE ROTOR COOLING - A rotor of a turbomachine includes a rotor drum located at a central axis and a plurality of buckets secured to the rotor drum. A rotor shell extends between axially adjacent buckets of the plurality of buckets and is secured to and supported by the plurality of buckets defining a cooling passage between the rotor drum and the rotor shell. A low pressure sink is located at an upstream end of the rotor receptive of a coolant flow through the cooling passage. A method of cooling a rotor of a steam turbine includes locating a rotor shell radially outboard of a rotor drum defining a cooling passage therebetween. A flow of steam is urged from a downstream portion of the steam turbine through the cooling passage toward a low pressure sink located at an upstream end of the steam turbine thereby cooling the rotor. | 04-14-2011 |

| 20090059975 | LASER MODULE FOR PROJECTION DISPLAYS - A laser module with a linear laser diode array includes multiple, mutually separated laser cells. A nonlinear optical material serves to double the frequency of the radiation emitted by the laser cells. The linear laser diode array and the nonlinear optical material are so positioned relative to each other that the resulting frequency-doubled radiation propagates, within the nonlinear optical material and essentially within mutually separated columns associable with the laser cells, both in the direction of the radiation emitted by the laser cells and in the opposite direction. The laser module includes optical elements which divert the bidirectionally propagating frequency-doubled radiation in a manner whereby, upon diversion between the columns in the respective other direction, the radiation propagates in the nonlinear optical material, so that frequency-doubled light ultimately exits the nonlinear optical material in only one direction. | 03-05-2009 |

| 20110302558 | System and Method for Constructing an Application Using Distributed Functionalities - A system and method are disclosed for factoring the functionalities within one or more applications into separate entities, storing them locally and/or distributing them across a network of servers such that code reusable across applications is updatable at one place, the user of an application sees only the interface relevant, to the task at hand, the interface for the user is consistent across applications utilizing the same functionality while at the same time it remains clear to the user which context the user is in, and additional functionalities may be added and subtracted during run time without recompiling the application or reinitialising the application. | 12-08-2011 |
