20100180828 | Portable Pet Refreshment Device - A single-serving, liquid or water filled, disposable container, particularly suited to provide portable refreshment for pets during walking or exercising. The device includes an integrated clip, particularly suited for easy attachment and removal from a pet's leash, pet owner's belt loop, fanny-pack, pocketbook, exercising equipment, etc. To provide pet refreshment, the device is unclipped from its tether, and a peel-back lid reveals the liquid, provided in a flat-bottomed container, suitable for placement on ground or floor. When the pet has consumed the liquid, the device can be discarded. The intention is for the device to be provided in multi-packs, and that all materials used can be recycled. The container size and serving portion are intended to be enough to provide refreshment, but must be lightweight enough to not hinder either the pets or owners movement during walking or exercising. | 07-22-2010 |

20090020523 | Systems and Methods for Providing Localized Heat Treatment of Metal Components - Systems and methods for providing localized heat treatment of metal components are provided. In this regard, a representative method includes: identifying a portion of a metal component to which localized heat treatment is to be performed; shielding an area in a vicinity of the portion of the metal component; and directing electromagnetic energy in the infrared (IR) spectrum toward the portion of the metal component such that the portion is heated to a desired temperature and such that the area in the vicinity of the portion that is subjected to shielding does not heat to the temperature desired for the heat treatment. | 01-22-2009 |
20090094832 | Heat treating apparatus and method of using same - An apparatus and method for heat treating the welded area of a repaired gas turbine engine component uses first and second heating elements. The heating elements each include an insulating tube supported by a support rod and wrapped with a conducing wire. One of the heating elements is sized to fit inside a recess in the gas turbine engine component, adjacent to the welded area, while the second heating element is placed outside the recess, but also adjacent to the welded area, thereby heating the welded area from two sides. | 04-16-2009 |
20130019473 | REPAIR OF COATED TURBINE VANES INSTALLED IN MODULE - A method of repairing a damaged coated vane from a turbine module without removing the vane from the module is taught. The method includes locally removing the coating in the vicinity of the damage as well as any underlying damage in the superalloy substrate. A diffusible coating precursor is then applied to the damage site. A heat treating fixture is then mounted on the vane and repair site is heated to up to 2000° F. in an inert environment to interdiffuse the coating precursor and the substrate. After the diffusion anneal, the vane is cleaned and the module is returned to service. | 01-24-2013 |
20130022339 | LOCAL HEAT TREATMENT OF IBR BLADE USING INFRARED HEATING - A device and method for locally heat treating at least one airfoil in an integrally bladed rotor device. A pair of IR heat sources are positioned to direct IR heat rays in the direction where local heat treatment is required. A pair of parabolic mirrors are positioned to direct the IR heat rays on to the metal component. The heat treating is useful after welding the airfoil on to the rotor device. | 01-24-2013 |

A pair of IR heat sources are positioned to direct IR heat rays in the direction where local heat treatment is required. A pair of parabolic mirrors are positioned to direct the IR heat rays on to the metal component. The heat treating is useful after welding the airfoil on to the rotor device. | 10-10-2013 |
20140053958 | Gamma Titanium Dual Property Heat Treat System and Method - A method for forming a part having a dual property microstructure includes the steps of: forming a blank having a narrow top portion and a wide base portion; heating the blank to an elevated temperature; and forming a dual property microstructure in the blank by cooling different portions of the blank at different cooling rates. | 02-27-2014 |

20090065494 | Systems and methods for providing localized heat treatment of gas turbine components - Systems and methods for providing localized heat treatment of gas turbine components are provided. In this regard, an exemplary method includes: identifying an area of a gas turbine component to which localized heat treatment is to be performed; positioning a resistance heating element, sized and shaped to transfer heat to the area, adjacent the area; electrically coupling a current-limiting power controller to the resistance heating element; and locally heating the area using the resistance heating element, with power being provided to the resistance heating element via the current-limiting power controller. | 03-12-2009 |
