  • Publication number: 20180334926
    Abstract: A subassembly of a gas turbine engine includes a heat shield and carrier subassembly for a turbine section are disclosed. The carrier includes support features to couple to an engine casing. The upstream end of the carrier includes a radially inward arm extending toward to an engine axis. The outer end of the radially floating heat shield is coupled to the radially inward arm via a pin-and-slot joint configured to allow movement of the heat shield relative to the radially inward arm of the carrier. In response to thermal expansion and contraction of the vane, the heat shield is configured to move radially outward and inward, respectively, relative to the radially inward arm to maintain contact with the outer platform of the vane.

  • Patent number: 9919743
    Abstract: A motor vehicle front end crash-load carrying structure has at least one side rail on each side of the vehicle extending in the vehicle longitudinal direction, an A-pillar extending upward from the side rail, and a reinforcement extending between the A-pillar and the side rail. The reinforcement is made up of a longitudinally-extending rear element fixed to the A-pillar and extending forward therefrom outboard of the side rail, and a transversely-extending forward element fixed to and extending inboard from a forward end of the rear element, an inboard end of the forward element abutting an outboard surface of the side rail. The rear element extends substantially parallel with a vehicle longitudinal axis and defines a concave-downward wheel arch. The rear element may include an engineered bending site adjacent to a joint between the rear element and the forward element. The reinforcement may be supported on a suspension mount.

  • Patent number: 9058906
    Abstract: A fuel element storage and cooling configuration includes a fuel element storage pool and a cooling system having at least one first heat exchanger disposed in the fuel element storage pool and at least one second heat exchanger disposed in a heat sink and located at a distance therefrom, above a highest point of the first heat exchanger. The two heat exchangers are connected, using a pipe system, to form a closed circuit, which is at least partially filled with a flowable coolant. If the temperature of the first heat exchanger is increased with respect to the second heat exchanger, natural circulation of the coolant, and thus heat transport from the fuel element storage pool to the heat sink, is ensured without a pump apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20130292402
    Abstract: A system including a dry absorbent tissue paper sheet dispenser having a dispensing opening through which dry tissue paper sheets can be withdrawn and a moist sheet dispenser having a dispensing opening through which moist sheets can be withdrawn, wherein one of the dry tissue paper dispenser and the moist sheet dispenser is configured to sit atop the other so that the dispensing openings face in opposing directions in a combined configuration, and wherein the dry and moist sheet dispensers have cooperating interfacing surfaces when they are in the combined configuration that resist movement of the moist sheet dispenser with respect to the dry tissue paper dispenser in a first direction perpendicular to a sheet withdrawal direction of the dry tissue paper dispenser and the moist dispenser.
