A compliant shim for use between the root of a gas turbine fan blade and a dovetail groove in a gas turbine rotor disk to reduce fretting therebetween. The compliant shim has first and second slots for engaging tabs extending from the fan blade root. The slots and tabs cooperate to hold the shim during engine operation. An oxidation layer covers the compliant shim. The shim is augmented with an upstanding wall and a seal element to seal the gap that exists between platform edges of adjacent fan blades. This simple combination solves two complex problems, fatigue of fan assembly parts and loss of operating efficiency caused by fluid flow leakage.

An intravascular device for locating a coronary sinus of a patients heart and method of using the same. In one embodiment, the intravascular device includes an elongated member having at least one lumen and at least one optical fiber coupled to the elongated member. The optical fiber has a distal end configured to contact with a blood flow within the patients heart and a proximal end coupled to a laser Doppler velocimetry system for performing a plurality of laser Doppler velocity measurements of the blood flow within the heart to locate the coronary sinus of the heart. Incorporating LDV technology into an intravascular device such as a catheter or a guidewire system provides diagnostic information of the physiologic environment of the lesion before, during, or after a therapeutic procedure.

A guiding catheter for use in a body lumen having a stiff inner liner that has an uninterrupted length and is fabricated from a material such as polyimide (PI) and polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is disclosed. The inner liner is created by coating or extruding PI or PEEK on a neckable wire mandrel. A polymeric jacket is provided over the inner liner through a coating and bonding processes. A metallic braid, mesh, or lattice reinforcing member is embedded in the polymeric jacket.

A workpiece gaging system includes carriage structure for a gaging part, movable longitudinally and laterally, and a rotor to rotate that structure; also indicator means is operatively connected with the part to indicate the status of engagement, displacement, or need for displacement, of the gaging part relative to a surface or surfaces (such as pipe threads) to be gaged, as at multiple locations. Measurement encoding and signal processing means are also provided.

The automatic wire puller of the present invention provides an apparatus allowing one electrician to pull wire through conduit sections. The wire puller employs standard fish tape reels, is directly mountable to an electric outlet box and provides a reversible drive motor for playout or take up of the fish tape. A releasable catch maintains the handle of the standard plastic fish tape reel in a stationary position during rotation of the reel holder. The invention includes a first torque sensor to disable the drive motor should the fish tape become snagged during take up and a second torque sensor to deactivate the motor if the fish tape becomes snagged during playout thereby preventing damage to the fish tape, the wire being pulled, or the conduit which could occur if continued force was applied to the snagged fish tape. A completion sensor releases the handle of the fish tape reel when take up is complete and a shut off sensor then disengages the motor drive. Local and remote control of the invention is provided to allow the electrician to operate from either end of the conduit through which the cable is being pulled to monitor and guide the pulling operation as required.

An acceleration force isolator assembly for attaching a payload, such as a spacecraft or satellite, to a launch vehicle wherein axial acceleration forces on the payload are attenuated. The attachment includes an upper interface ring that is secured to the payload and a lower interface ring that is secured to the launch vehicle. Flexure of the upper interface ring provides axial compliance when axial acceleration forces are transmitted from the launch vehicle.
