20130028735BLADE COOLING AND SEALING SYSTEM - A cooled component for a gas turbine engine, for example a turbine rotor blade, is provided. The component has an internal cooling flow passage. Cooling air is passed through the internal cooling flow passage to remove heat from the component and thereby reduce its temperature. The cooling air is bled from the internal cooling passage after it has passed through a portion of the passage into an internal bleed flow passage. This bled air is then used in a seal. Thus, some of the cooling air that enters the internal cooling flow passage is used both to cool the component and to form a seal, for example with another component.01-31-2013

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100198133MICROCELLULAR INJECTION MOLDING PROCESSES FOR PERSONAL AND CONSUMER CARE PRODUCTS AND PACKAGING - A method of injection molding produces a microcellular material. In this method, a polymer is melted and blended with a supercritical fluid to produce a single-phase polymer-gas solution. This solution is injected through a nozzle and into a mold. When injected through the nozzle, gas in the solution (from the supercritical fluid) emerges from the polymer, which then solidifies. In emerging from the solution, the gas causes the nucleation of cells that result in a microcellular structure. A foam material comprises a polymer having a microcellular structure formed by the nucleation of micro-cells. The micro-cells are formed by the dispersing of a supercritical fluid in a liquid solution of the polymer when the polymer is subjected to a pressure drop. A feminine hygiene device is fabricated from a foamed polymer.08-05-2010

20120061867POLYMER PELLETS CONTAINING SUPERCRITICAL FLUID AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING - A process for the manufacture of a plastic part, the process comprising providing a polymer, heating the polymer, introducing a gas or supercritical fluid into the polymer, mixing the polymer and the gas to produce a first melt, extruding the first melt, pelletizing the extruded first melt to form pellets, transforming the pellets into a second melt, and molding the second melt to form the plastic part. In pelletizing the first melt, individual cells of gas are included in the resulting pellets. Before the cells can nucleate, the polymer is solidified to keep the gas contained therein. After the polymer is pelletized, the pellets are considered to be unfoamed. In molding the second melt to form the plastic part, nucleation of the cells is initiated through favorable process conditions and/or additional cell nucleating agents, thereby resulting in the second melt being foamed.03-15-2012
20120061870METHODS FOR MICROCELLULAR INJECTION MOLDING - In a method of microcellular injection molding, a polymer and a supercritical fluid are processed. A condition of processing the polymer and/or the supercritical fluid is adjusted to control a weight of a plastic part and/or a surface characteristic of a plastic part produced. In another method of producing a plastic part using microcellular injection molding, a polymer is heated and melted and a supercritical fluid is added thereto. The resulting mix is a single-phase polymer-gas solution comprising the polymer and the supercritical fluid. The polymer and/or the supercritical fluid are adjusted to control the weight of the plastic part and/or a surface characteristic of the plastic part. Once adjusted, the melted polymer with the supercritical fluid is injected into a mold. Upon injecting the melted polymer and supercritical fluid, a pressure drop causes the supercritical fluid to nucleate in the melted polymer, thereby causing nucleation of bubbles.03-15-2012
