Filed:

Feb 27, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/788758

Inventors:

Larry Casillas - Phoenix AZ, US
Richard B. Fox - Mesa AZ, US
Richard B. Gadberry - Phoenix AZ, US
Robert L. Power - Mesa AZ, US

Assignee:

Honeywell International, Inc. - Morristown NJ

International Classification:

G01N 1/12
G01N 1/14

US Classification:

7386434, 7386462, 7386451

Abstract:

An apparatus and method for sampling semivolatile compounds is disclosed. A collection bag is placed around an air conditioning vent on an aircraft. An opening in the collection bag receives air from the air conditioning vent into the bag. An exit in the collection bag allows the air sample to escape from the collection bag. Vacuum applied by tubing at the exit pulls the air sample from the bag. Flow is adjusted so that the inflow into the collection bag exceeds the outtake, thereby inflating the bag. The inflation of the collection bag assures that the air being sampled is only air originating from the air conditioning vent.

Appl. No.:

10/788128

Inventors:

Robert L. Power - Mesa AZ, US

Assignee:

Honeywell International, Inc. - Morristown NJ

International Classification:

C23C 16/26

US Classification:

4272497, 427577, 427295, 2041921

Abstract:

Methods for making an erosion resistant gas turbine engine compressor airfoil substrates coated with a diamond-like coating (DLC), wherein the coating airfoil substrates are protected from ingested abrasive particulates, may include the step of performing a hydrogen-free chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process by ablation of a graphite target in a vacuum. The DLC may be comprised predominantly of sp(tetrahedral) carbon, and may be devoid of detectable amounts of hydrogen.
