Abstract: A rotor assembly has: blades having airfoils and roots protruding from platform segments; a rotor disc having a peripheral face defining recesses, and slots, a recess located between two adjacent ones of the slots and bounded by a step; feather seals located radially between the peripheral face and the platform segments, a feather seal having a core extending from a trailing end to a leading end and overlapping a gap defined between two platform segments and tabs protruding from the core, the tabs including: trailing tabs positioned axially outside the recess; and leading tabs, a leading tab extending from a root to a tip and having one or more of: the tip axially positioned outside of the recess; and a fillet at an intersection between the tip and an edge of the leading tab, the edge extending between the tip and the core, and facing the step.

Abstract: A loading system for a vehicle includes a buggy for transporting cargo and a mounting assembly for loading the buggy onto the vehicle. A buggy frame has an elongated member. The mounting assembly is configured to be connected to the vehicle and has a sliding rail configured to slidingly receive the elongated member of the buggy frame to allow the buggy to slide along the sliding rail. The sliding rail has a first portion and a second portion extending at an angle relative to the first portion such that, when the mounting assembly is connected to the vehicle, the first portion extends generally horizontally and the second portion extends downwardly from the first portion. The second portion is configured to slide the buggy upwards onto the vehicle. The first portion being configured to slide the buggy generally horizontally into a loaded position on the vehicle.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a brewing apparatus configured to carry out a submerged soluble brewing method. The apparatus consists of a holding volume into which a brewing soluble may be inserted, the brewing soluble being held in place during the brewing process by top and bottom filters. The holding volume is connected to a collection volume which captures the brewed solution as it exits the holding volume. Liquid flow into the holding volume is regulated by a processor-controlled valve or pump connected to a feed supply to produce the ideal extraction based on user inputs or preset instructions. Advantageously, the characteristics of the brew produced by the apparatus are not affected by the size of the respective volumes. Furthermore, use of the apparatus ensures that every part of the soluble is subjected to an equal or similar flow of liquid, ensuring high efficiency.
