  • Publication number: 20240098882
    Abstract: An electronic component includes a first trace configured to transmit a first signal and a second trace configured to transmit a second signal. The electronic component further includes a layer of conductive material separated from the first and second traces by a layer of insulative material. The electronic component further includes a first vertical wall formed in direct contact with the layer of conductive material. The electronic component further includes a second vertical wall formed in direct contact with the layer of conductive material. The second vertical wall is separated from the first vertical wall by a void, and the void extends between the first trace and the second trace.

  • Patent number: 11841083
    Abstract: A radial pressure adjustable gland sealing system is disclosed herein. The system includes at least one inflatable bladder operable to surround a rotating shaft or sleeve of a rotating shaft, and at least one inflating tube. One end of each inflating tube is in fluid communication with the internal envelope of one of the at least one inflatable annular bladder. An opposite end of each inflating tube is connected, or extends, to a location outside of a static housing in which the rotating shaft is housed, such that the level of inflation of each inflatable bladder can be adjusted by way of its respective inflating tube, and thereby adjust the level of radial pressure exerted on the rotating shaft or sleeve for a rotating shaft.

  • Patent number: 8381529
    Abstract: A system includes a water injection system configured to supply water from a pressure regulating valve to a water manifold of a turbine engine. The system also includes a drain valve configured to drain at least a portion of the water from the pressure regulating valve during a start-up period of the water injection system at least until a stable water pressure is achieved downstream of the pressure regulating valve.
