Abstract: A turbine shroud assembly includes a first shroud segment, a second shroud segment, and a seal assembly. The first shroud segment includes a first carrier segment arranged circumferentially at least partway around a central axis and a first blade track segment supported by the first carrier segment. The second shroud segment is arranged circumferentially adjacent the first shroud segment about the central axis. The seal assembly is configured to block gases from escaping the gas path radially between the first shroud segment and the second shroud segment.

Abstract: A method of forming a bladder cast ceramic matrix composite (CMC) article including infiltrating a CMC substrate positioned in a cavity of a mold body with a slurry. The CMC substrate includes reinforcement material defining inner spaces. The slurry includes solid particles and a carrier material. During infiltration, the slurry at least partially fills at least a portion of the inner spaces of the CMC substrate. The method also includes inflating at least one bladder that is coupled to the mold body and disposed within the cavity such that a surface of the at least one bladder in an inflated configuration contacts at least one surface of the CMC substrate. The method also includes drying the slurry to remove at least a portion of the carrier material form an infiltrated CMC and deflating the at least one bladder.

Abstract: An example electrical machine is described that includes active segments for variable voltage generation. The electrical machine includes a drive shaft, a fixed rotor segment, an active rotor segment, and an actuator mechanism. The fixed rotor segment is coupled to the drive shaft, where the fixed rotor segment has affixed thereon first permanent magnets of alternating polarity. The active rotor segment axially is adjacent to the fixed rotor segment along the drive shaft. The active rotor segment also has affixed thereon second permanent magnets of alternating polarity. The actuator mechanism is configured to articulate the active rotor segment relative to the fixed rotor segment and thereby alter a phase of the second permanent magnets relative to the first permanent magnets in order to change a first voltage generated by the electrical machine to a second voltage generated by the electrical machine.

Abstract: An example system includes one or more heaters configured and positioned to add thermal energy to one or more portions of a gas turbine engine after the gas turbine engine was in operation, wherein the thermal energy minimizes or prevents undesired contact or seizing of a rotor of the gas turbine engine with another component of the gas turbine engine due to warping of the rotor due to uneven cooling of the gas turbine engine after the operation. The system further includes a controller configured to control operation of the one or more heaters.
