FOR FURTHER ACTION: See Form PCT/ISA/220 as well as, where applicable, item 5 below.
PART 1
PCT/CN2015/085745
This international search report has been prepared by this International Searching Authority and is transmitted to the applicant according to Article 18. A copy is being transmitted to the International Bureau.
It is also accompanied by a copy of each prior art document cited in this report.
1. Basis of the report
a. With regard to the language, the international search was carried out on the basis of:
the international application in the language in which it was filed.
a translation of the international application into                                          which is the language of a translation furnished for the purposes of international search (Rules 12.3(a) and 23.1(b)).
b.
This international search report has been established taking into account the rectification of an obvious mistake authorized by or notified to this Authority under Rule 91 (Rule 43.6bis(a)).
c.
With regard to any nucleotide and/or amino acid sequence disclosed in the international application, the international search was carried out on the basis of a sequence listing filed or furnished:
2. Certain claims were found unsearchable
3. Unity of invention is lacking
4. Title of the invention
The text is approved as submitted by the applicant.
The text has been established by this Authority to read as follows:
5. Abstract
The text is approved as submitted by the applicant.
The text has been established, according to Rule 38.2, by this Authority as it appears in Box No. IV. The applicant may, within one month from the date of mailing of this international search report, submit comments to this Authority.

A rotor blade for a turbine (12) of a gas turbine (10) includes an airfoil (25). The airfoil (25) may have a leading edge (28), a trailing edge (29), an outboard (31), and an inboard end that attaches to a root (21) configured to couple the rotor blade to a rotor disc. The airfoil (25) may have a cooling configuration that includes elongated cooling channels (33) for receiving and directing a coolant through the airfoil (25). The rotor blade may further include: a tip shroud (55) connected to the airfoil (25); outlet ports (37) formed through an outboard face (60) of the tip shroud (55) that fluidly communicate with the cooling channels; and flow directing structure formed on the outboard surface (60) of the tip shroud (55). The flow directing structure may be positioned relative to the outlet ports (37) and configured for directing the flow of coolant discharged from the outlet ports (37). The rotor blade may be useful to reduce local tip shroud temperature as well as improved stage aerodynamic efficiency by reducing the coolant supply needed to maintain the component at desired temperature levels.


6. Drawings
a.
The figure of the drawings to be published with the abstract is Figure No.     11    
as suggested by the applicant.
as selected by this Authority, because the applicant failed to suggest a figure.
as selected by this Authority, because this figure better characterizes the invention.
b.
none of the figures is to be published with the abstract.
