Abstract: A system for compensating for a relative motion between a probe and an apparatus. The system includes a probe assembly, a sensor, and a computer. The probe assembly includes an actuator pack positioned exterior to the apparatus and a probe insertable into the apparatus. The probe includes a first end coupled to the actuator pack, a second end, and an elongated body extending therebetween. The sensor senses data indicative of a relative motion between the apparatus and the probe assembly. The computer is operably coupled with the sensor and the probe assembly to move the probe of the probe assembly in response to the sensor sensing the data indicative of the relative motion between the apparatus and the probe assembly.

Abstract: Methods for performing in situ balancing of an internal rotating component of a gas turbine engine are provided. The method can include inserting a repair tool through an access port of the gas turbine engine with the repair tool including a tip end positioned within the gas turbine engine and a material supply end positioned outside the gas turbine engine. The tip end of the repair tool is positioned adjacent to a surface of the internal rotating component of the gas turbine engine. A new material is supplied from the material supply end of the repair tool to the tip end of the repair tool; and is expelling from the tip end of the repair tool in a direction of the surface of the rotating component such that the new material is added onto a portion of the rotating part.

Abstract: A system includes one or more processors and a memory that stores a generative adversarial network (GAN). The one or more processors are configured to receive a low resolution point cloud comprising a set of three-dimensional (3D) data points that represents an object. A generator of the GAN is configured to generate a first set of generated data points based at least in part on one or more characteristics of the data points in the low resolution point cloud, and to interpolate the generated data points into the low resolution point cloud to produce a super-resolved point cloud that represents the object and has a greater resolution than the low resolution point cloud. The one or more processors are further configured to analyze the super-resolved point cloud for detecting one or more of an identity of the object or damage to the object.

Abstract: A method for remotely stopping a crack in a component of a gas turbine engine is provided. The method can include inserting an integrated repair interface attached to a cable delivery system within a gas turbine engine; positioning the tip adjacent to a defect within a surface of the component; temporarily attaching the tip adjacent to the defect within the surface on the component; supplying a new material to the area to fill the defect; and heating the new material to fuse the new material to the component within the defect.

Abstract: A system includes one or more processors configured to automatically identify different distressed portions in repeating segments of a rotating body. At least one of a size and/or a shape of one or more of the distressed portions changes with respect to time. The one or more processors also are configured to determine a pattern of the different distressed portions in the repeating segments of the rotating body during rotation of the rotating body based on identifying the different distressed portions. The one or more processors also are configured to subsequently automatically identify locations of individual segments of the repeating segments in the rotating body using the pattern of the distressed portions that is determined.

Abstract: A method for performing a visual inspection of a gas turbine engine may generally include inserting a plurality of optical probes through a plurality of access ports of the gas turbine engine. The access ports may be spaced apart axially along a longitudinal axis of the gas turbine engine such that the optical probes provide internal views of the gas turbine engine from a plurality of different axial locations along the gas turbine engine. The method may also include coupling the optical probes to a computing device, rotating the gas turbine engine about the longitudinal axis as the optical probes are used to simultaneously obtain images of an interior of the gas turbine engine at the different axial locations and receiving, with the computing device, image data associated with the images obtained by each of the optical probes at the different axial locations.

Abstract: A method includes obtaining a series of images of a rotating target object through multiple revolutions of the target object. The method includes grouping the images into multiple, different sets of images. The images in each of the different sets depict a common portion of the target object. At least some of the images in each set are obtained during a different revolution of the target object. The method further includes examining the images in at least a first set of the multiple sets of images using an artificial neural network for automated object-of-interest recognition by the artificial neural network.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an improved system and method for repairing a bend in a turbine blade of a turbine of a gas turbine engine. The system includes an articulating guide configured to fit into an access port of the turbine. The articulating guide includes a proximal end and a distal end. The system also includes a repair tool configured at the distal end of the articulating guide. Further, the repair tool is configured to fit over the turbine blade. Thus, the repair tool is configured to bend the turbine blade to an unbent position while the turbine blade is secured within the turbine.
