Abstract: A method for preparing an abradable panel for a rub strip of a fan case of a gas turbine engine includes forming an abradable material into a plurality of panels each comprising an abradable structure; curing the abradable material in the plurality of panels; and installing the plurality of panels into the fan case. The panels can be cured and assembled into a fully assembled rubstrip, and then the assembled rubstrip can be installed into the fan case.

Abstract: An abradable material for a rub strip of a gas turbine engine component includes a polymer matrix, and an organic or inorganic filler distributed through the matrix, wherein the abradable material has a compression spring rate profile including: less than 50,000 lb/in at ?65° F., less than 35,000 lb/in at room temperature, and less than 35,000 lb/in at 200° F.

Abstract: A system may have a support structure that separates an exterior region from an interior region. The system may include a lighting system with interior and/or exterior lights with adjustable diffusers. An interior light may be used as a task light, a cabin light, a sensor indicator light, or a trim light. Adjustments to the adjustable diffusers can be used to adjust the angular spread of emitted light for operation in different lighting modes.

Abstract: A medical delivery device comprising an elongate body having a plunger slidably and sealingly engaged to form a cavity to receive fluid materials and a first outlet disposed at an end of said body and has a male luer end portion and a valve assembly is disposed within the first outlet. The valve assembly has a valve means movable between an open position and a closed position and biasing means for biasing the valve means to a closed position. Actuating means are disposed within the male luer end portion and coupled to the valve means such that the valve means is movable to an open position when a female luer end portion of a medical accessory is coupled with the male luer end portion. A second outlet is disposed at the same end as the first outlet for controlling the exchange of gases from the environment to said cavity under the action of the plunger.
