Abstract: A launch vehicle dispenser attach structure is disclosed. The launch vehicle dispenser attach structure includes a launch vehicle adapter, and a polygonal extruded cylinder comprising tapered side and an essentially closed end. The polygonal extruded cylinder connects to the launch vehicle adapter. The tapered sides and the closed end of the polygonal extruded cylinder provide mounting interfaces for connecting satellite dispensers. A mounting interface of the mounting interfaces includes a separation ring for transforming the launch vehicle dispenser attach structure into a free flying satellite. The launch vehicle dispenser attach structure is particularly useful for attaching multiple payload separation systems to launch vehicle.

Abstract: Various aspects of the subject technology relate to completing a payment over a video call. A method includes initiating, a video call between a user and a vendor, the user and the vendor having a scheduled appointment comprising a specified duration of time. The method also includes directing the user to the video call through video call software. The method also includes receiving, from the video call software, a notification that the video call ended, the notification comprising video call metadata. The method also includes calculating, through an online marketplace, a total cost of the scheduled appointment based at least on the video call metadata and marketplace data. The method also includes generating, through the online marketplace, an invoice based on the total cost. The method also includes receiving payment information from the user regarding the invoice. According to aspects, the method includes a flash-to-pay option for payment.

Abstract: An adapter to permit borescope access inside a gas turbine engine including a compressor stator having a plurality of compressor stator segments comprises a body portion defining a bore extending longitudinally therethrough from a first end to be disposed adjacent to outside surfaces of adjacent compressor stator segments to a second end to be disposed adjacent to inside surfaces of adjacent compressor stator segments. The bore permits a borescope to enter therethrough. The adapter further comprises an attachment portion for circumferentially coupling at least one compressor stator segment to an outer casing of the gas turbine engine.

Abstract: An anti-rotation lock for preventing circumferential movement of a stator segment in relation to a split case to which it is mounted is disclosed. A racetrack shaped pocket, disposed within the case and proximate the stator segment, is suitably sized to receive a lug and a spring pin. The lug is received in the pocket and protrudes radially inward from the case and is engagable by the stator segment, thus preventing circumferential movement with respect to the case. The spring pin is received adjacent to the lug and compressively retains the lug in the pocket.
