| 20090037378 | AUTOMATIC GENERATION OF FORMS BASED ON ACTIVITY - A user can be presented with a form or other record that can enable efficient performance of various actions including a workflow or process. As actions are performed, the user can be presented with different forms more applicable to a current task being performed. The forms can be automatically created and modified, or a user can request various changes or updates to the form. A language associated with the form or other information can be changed from a first language to a second language based upon a request for the change. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090043404 | DISCOVERABLE SERVICES - A goal or desired output can be stated in terms of a high-level overview in a natural language or other format. The high-level overview can be automatically partitioned into steps to be performed in order to achieve the stated goal, such as by interpreting terms within the overview, analyzing definitions, historical data or other information. Each step can be dynamically assigned to various resources distributed throughout an environment. Such resources can include agents or other machinery that are selected based on a multitude of criteria including location, availability, performance level as well as other factors. If needed, the resources can be dynamically balanced in order to achieve the desired output while mitigating wasted resources. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20090088871 | HISTORIAN INTEGRATED WITH MES APPLIANCE - A simulation that integrates historical data and real-time data as a test or simulation tool can capture an entry that relates to a desired output as function points. A determination can intellectually be made as to which activities can achieve the desired output. The activities can be process steps that can represent a workflow that can be automatically implemented by an MES Appliance or other enterprise components. If a simulation reveals that the desired output might not be achieved, a change to one or more function points can be analyzed in an attempt to achieve the desired result. This change can be input into a simulation tool through a feedback loop, for example. Another simulation can performed on the modified data until a determination is made that the desired output can be achieved. | 04-02-2009 |

| 20090241339 | METHOD FOR REPAIRING AN AIRFOIL - An example method of repairing an airfoil includes the steps of securing additional material to a worn airfoil and limiting movement of the additional material with a guide. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20090250441 | Bolt hole repair technique - A method of hole defect repair includes removing one or more defects at or near a desired hole in a part by removing a portion of the part proximate the desired hole in a series of chain link patterns, and welding a filler material to the part after removing the chain link pattern portion of the part. | 10-08-2009 |
| 20100032415 | Repair Methods Involving Conductive Heat Resistance Welding - Repair methods involving conductive heat resistance welding includes repairing a crack of a gas turbine engine component using a conductive heat resistance welding technique and a welding technique other than conductive heat resistance welding. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20100243614 | METHOD OF REPAIRING HOLES USING CONDUCTIVE HEAT RESISTANCE WELDING - A method of repairing a hole in a work piece includes mechanically constraining donor plates against a work piece. Constraint plates keep donor plates flush against the work piece during conductive heat resistance welding. By constraining the donor plates, the molten mixture produced by conductive heat resistance welding cannot escape the hole and a weldment substantially free of voids is formed. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20110138624 | CONSUMABLE COLLAR FOR LINEAR FRICTION WELDING OF BLADE REPLACEMENT FOR DAMAGED INTEGRALLY BLADED ROTORS - A method of repairing an integrally bladed rotor includes the steps of placing a support collar around at least a leading and trailing edge portions of the blade stub, and performing linear friction welding to add a replacement airfoil to the blade stub. The linear friction welding is generally along a direction between the leading and trailing edges. In addition, the support collar leading and trailing edge portions are connected together. | 06-16-2011 |
| 20110138625 | REPAIR OF INTEGRALLY BLADED ROTORS - A method is provided for repairing a damaged rotor blade on an integrally bladed rotor by removing a damaged portion of a damaged blade leaving a blade stub extending outwardly from the disk and performing a linear friction welding operation to attach a replacement blade segment to the blade stub. The rotor may be disposed operation using a linear friction welding apparatus. The method includes disposing a support collar about the blade stub and securing the support collar to the linear friction welding apparatus prior to a commencement of the bonding operation. A lower surface of the support collar is contoured to mate with a portion of an outer circumference surface of the rotor disk. | 06-16-2011 |
