Abstract: A breather (18) for a driveline component such as an axle, for example, includes a rigid body portion (30) attached to an axle housing (12), an extension portion attached to the rigid body portion and extending into a housing cavity, and a conical spring supported by the extension portion. The rigid body portion has an internal bore (32) that extends from a first body end (34) to a second body end (36) with the first body (30) end extending outwardly from the axle housing (12) and the second body end (36) being fixed to the axle housing (12). The extension portion has a non-uniform cross-sectional area, and includes an extension bore with a large internal diameter. A conical spring (96) is received within the extension bore and cooperates with the extension to prevent lubricating fluid from exiting the breather (18) while still allowing air to vent through the breather (18) as needed.

Abstract: Mounting discs (20, 30, 40, 50) are used in gas turbine engines to present turbine or compressor blades. These discs (20, 30, 40, 50) incorporate a bore or cob end 31, 41, 51 which in turn previously had a flat end face surface. Such flat end face surfaces are weight efficient but can lead to reduced component life and a limitation with regard to rotational speed due to Von-Mises stresses. By providing a deviation (39, 49, 59, 69) in the end face from a flat aspect, a reduction in axial stress is achieved with a marginal increase in hoop stress but with a net result that there is a reduction in the general operational Von-Mises stresses and therefore improvement in disc life or potential rotation speed capacity or both.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a highly reliable automatic analyzer including a rinse mechanism adapted so that a suction member for suctioning up rinse water is reliably inserted into a reaction cuvette without deterioration of rinse liquid suction performance, without dimensional increases of the reaction cuvette or of the apparatus, and without being affected by stopping position accuracy of the reaction cuvette.  A positioning member is connected to a nozzle support jig used to install the rinse nozzle having the suction member. The positioning member is present at a lower position than that of the suction member, has a vertically movable construction, and during a downward movement of the rinse mechanism, is brought close to/inserted into the reaction cuvette earlier than the suction member. Thus, the positioning member adjusts an inserting position of the suction member appropriately if the stopping position of the reaction cuvette deviates.
