    Abstract: An assembly is provided for a gas turbine engine. This assemble includes a stationary structure configured with a first side, a second side and a bore that extends through the stationary structure between the first side and the second side. The assembly also includes a fluid transfer tube extending within the bore and forming a plenum between a sidewall of the fluid transfer tube and the stationary structure. The fluid transfer tube is configured with a first end at the first side, a second end at the second side, a flowpath and an aperture. The flowpath is at least partially formed by the sidewall and extends through the fluid transfer tube between the first end and the second end. The aperture fluidly couples the flowpath with the plenum.

    Abstract: A gear assembly is provided. The gear assembly includes a first gear that rotates about a first axis and includes a first gear face with a plurality of first gear teeth; a second gear that rotates about a second axis and includes a second gear face with a plurality of second gear teeth, where the first axis is not parallel with the second axis and the first and second teeth rotatably engage as the first gear rotates about the first axis and the second gear rotates about the second axis; a scraper that includes a distal interference surface in face-to-face proximity with at least one of the first plurality of teeth as the first gear rotates about the first axis, where the interference surface removes oil entrained adjacent to the plurality of first or second gear teeth as the first or second gears rotate.

    Abstract: A baffle includes a disk, a rim, a peripheral portion, and an outlet. The rim is connected to and circumferentially surrounds a portion of the disk. The peripheral portion is connected to and circumferentially surrounds the rim. The peripheral portion forms a channel. The outlet is fluidly connected to the channel of the peripheral portion. The outlet includes a cover and a series of openings. The cover caps a distal end of the outlet. The series of openings is disposed on a portion of the outlet and is fluidly connected to the channel via the outlet.
