Title: Assembly forming a seal for a turbomachine including a brush seal and at least one lip
Inventor: DUFFET JEAN-CHRISTOPHE
IPC: F16J15/32
Filed: 2014-09-02
Abstract: This is a seal 1 that goes between two elements of a turbomachine that rotate relative to one another. The problem to be overcome is that ventilation circuits in turbomachine engines can be quite inefficient. By increasing the radius of the seal, and therefore the increase of the radial clearance, it can increase flow of the seal and lead to a loss of efficiency. The device has a brush seal 2, which is annular around an axis X, the seal having multiple elastic sealing bristles 5, and at least one lip 3 that is also annual around the axis X. The lip extends, or penetrates partially into the bristles, thus improving the efficiency of the seal.

Title: Ride-sharing routing using contextual constraints
Inventor: YIMIN LIU
IPC: G06Q10/04
Filed: 2016-04-29
Abstract: A computing device receives an indication of a change in constraint data 802, such as a change in time of an event, the change altering a vehicle-external factor used to determine at least one of a time, cost, intermediate waypoint, origin, and destination constraint of an upcoming user route. An alternate route for the user is determined 806 in accordance with the constraint, as altered. An update to a mobile device of the user indicating the alternate route is then sent 808. A mobile device of a user can receive, from the user, a contextual constraint specifying an element of external constraint data to be tested and a value against which the element is to be tested, such as temperature. A route constructed satisfying the contextual constraint, and when an external constraint data is changed, display a received message indicating a proposed update to the route.
