Abstract: A method for redirection of coolant flow is provided. The method includes an identifying step that identifies a hot spot on an exterior surface of a body of a component of a turbine system. A first parameter of the component indicates that a temperature of the exterior surface in the hot spot exceeds a threshold value. Another identifying step identifies a cool spot on the exterior surface. A second parameter of the component indicates that the temperature of the exterior surface in the cool spot is below the threshold value. A reconfiguring step reconfigures a plurality of cooling passages of the component to direct a portion of a coolant from the cool spot to the hot spot.

Abstract: A headset, during play of a particular game, receives a plurality of audio channels carrying game sounds and determines whether a first of the game sounds overwhelms a second of the game sounds. In response to the determination, the headset adjusts a level of one or more of the audio channels such that perceptibility of the second game sound is improved relative to perceptibility of the first game sound prior to the adjustment, wherein for the adjustment, a level of one or more of the audio channels carrying the first game sound is decreased while a level of one or more of the audio channels carrying the second game sound is maintained or increased. The audio channels include three or more audio channels and the adjustment of the level of the audio channels is performed while the three or more audio channels are combined into two stereo channels.

Abstract: A turbine vane in a gas turbine engine includes an inner platform, an outer platform, and a vane airfoil positioned therebetween. The vane airfoil includes a first cooling passage extending between the outer platform and the inner platform, and a second cooling passage extending between the outer platform and the inner platform. The second cooling passage is arranged downstream of the first cooling passage with respect to a flow direction. The turbine vane includes a jumper tube disposed between the second cooling passage and the inner platform. The jumper tube includes an inlet, an outlet, and a tube wall enclosing a hollow interior. The inlet is positioned a distance within the second cooling passage. The outlet is positioned at least partially through an aperture of the inner platform.

Abstract: A turbine shroud segment, e.g. for a gas turbine engine, which is coolable by a supply of cooling air, e.g. from a gas turbine engine compressor. The turbine shroud segment has a segment casing that has a radially outer surface and a radially inner surface. The segment casing houses a main plenum, a first layer of impingement chambers, a second layer of impingement chambers, and a plurality of effusion passages. The first layer of impingement chambers fluidly communicates with the main plenum via transfer passages that are formed in the segment casing. The second layer of impingement chambers fluidly communicates with the first layer of impingement chambers via impingement passages that are formed in the segment casing. The effusion passages run between impingement chamber core surface, which is a radially inner surface of an impingement chamber, and the radially inner surface of the segment casing.

Abstract: A ring segment and a turbomachine including the ring segment are provided. The ring segment installed on an inner circumferential surface of a casing and disposed to face an end of a blade existing inside the casing, the ring segment includes a segment body disposed inside the casing in a radial direction of the casing and having a channel through which cooling air flows, and a pair of segment protrusions protruding outward from the segment body, coupled to the inner circumferential surface of the casing, and spaced apart from each other along a flow direction of fluid flowing through the casing to form an RS cavity through which cooling air flows, wherein the segment body includes a cavity for supplying cooling air introduced from the RS cavity to the channel.
