Title: Turbine interstage sealing ring
Inventor: ALBRECHT RICHARD WILLIAM JR
IPC: F01D11/00
Filed: 2001-11-22
Granted: 2008-06-17
Abstract: A unitary interstage sealing ring (112) for bridging and sealing the space between adjacent turbine rotor disks (52, 60) in a multi-stage turbine (50). The sealing ring (112) serves to confine relatively cool air conveyed to the turbine (50) so the cooling air flows into the turbine blades (58, 98) for maintaining the blades at a desired temperature. The sealing ring (112) includes a disk-shaped body member (114) that includes a pair of axially-- spaced, radially-extending arms (118, 122) that terminate in respective seal teeth (126, 128) for engagement with a stationary annular sealing member (130). Each of the radial arms (118, 122) includes an outwardly-extending axial arm (120, 124) that terminates in a disk engagement member (148, 158) for sealing engagement with the face of an adjacent turbine disk (52, 60) to confine cooling air within the space (144) between the adjacent turbine disks (52, 60). Additionally, one of the disk engagement members (148, 158) includes at least one projection (152, 236) that contacts a respective rotor disk (52, 60) to limit relative rotation between the sealing ring (112, 230) and the turbine (50).

Granted: 2007-05-22
Abstract: A method and system for autonomously exploring and identifying an implemented configuration of a radio base station in a mobile telecommunications system. A radio configuration information signal is generated that identifies ports of at least one combining/distribution unit along a particular RF signal path between an antenna and a transceiver in the base station. The radio configuration information signal is forwarded to the transceiver along the RF signal path. Using the radio configuration information received at the transceiver, along with information about the internal structure of the combining/distribution units that is stored within the combining/distribution units themselves, the base station is able to determine the particular implemented radio configuration at any given time.

Title: Tire-located track for vehicles and method of installing same
Inventor: LEVASSEUR MARC
IPC: B62D55/24
Filed: 2002-02-26
Granted: 2010-08-17
Abstract: A track kit for multiple wheeled vehicles comprises at least one flexible track which is adapted to engage circumferential tread portions of two or more tandemly spaced and aligned wheels as a continuous loop. The track includes a pair of longitudinally elongated and spaced apart flexible webs, along the length of which are secured a number of laterally extending cleats. The webs are provided in a generally parallel orientation having a length marginally less than the maximum circumferential distance about the tread surface of the wheels. The webs are maintained in a spaced orientation relative to each other by the attachment of an end portion of each cleat to a respective web. The cleats are provided with a plate scraper member or portion which spans laterally across both webs in a generally lateral orientation. The plate scraper member includes a body extending perpendicular to the surface of the webs. An inner edge surface of the scraper plate portion located closest to the wheels has a contour selected to follow the cross-sectional contour of the circumferential tread surface of the tires to assist in maintaining the track centered on the tread surfaces of the wheels. Mounting flanges are provided along the end portions of the cleat to assist in the coupling of each cleat to the webs. The cleats are secured to the webs, with the end portions of each cleat at least partially overlapping and coupled to a corresponding web by the use of mechanical fasteners to minimize wear on the fasteners. The plate scraper member is provided with one or more cut-outs which are aligned with the apertures formed in the mounting plates. The cut-outs are sized to receive an end portion of the fastener arrangement which extends beyond the mounting.

Title: Closure device
Inventor: BORCHARDT MICHAEL G
IPC: B65D33/25
Filed: 2000-06-06
Granted: 2006-11-21
Abstract: The closure device includes interlocking first and second fastening strips.  The first fastening strip includes a closure element extruded onto a flange portion. The closure element and the flange portion are composed of materials having different densities to control the shape of the fastening strips. The purpose of changing the densities of the material is to reduce or eliminate the curve in the fastening strips which occurs during the manufacturing process. By providing a lower density material for the closure element, which has a greater volume, and by providing a higher density material for the flange portion, the flange portion will crystallize at the same rate as the closure element. This difference in densities results in a reduction or elimination in the curvature of the fastening strips.

Title: Resynchronization of control and data path state for networks
Inventor: ASHWOOD SMITH PETER J
IPC: H04J3/06
Filed: 2002-12-16
Granted: 2010-12-07
Abstract: In a switching protection system, a protocol is followed by a first connection controller to help facilitate the resynchronization of the network after the failure has occurred. This protocol contains the messaging system of the ability to query and store the exact sequence of logical ports and time slots that make up the data path, as a resynchronization table coupled to the first controller. The head/ingress end of the path can receive this information during set-up and can store it both locally and in shadow locations. The system also contains the ability to distinguish between signaling and data channel failures, as signaling channel failures to do not clear cross connect data but simply leave it "ownerless". The system also contains the ability to populate the exact sequence of logical ports and time slots accumulated in the definition of the network, as the set-up message initiated by the head controller to re-claim "ownerless" cross connections contained on respective network elements. The system also facilitates the clearing of a "ownerless" cross connection after a pre-determined period of time has lapsed.
