Abstract: A brush seal can be used for a gas turbine. The brush seal includes a support ring structure; and at least one bundle of bristles that is arranged in an axial direction on the support ring structure. The support ring structure has a basis portion arranged radially on the outside, and a supporting portion arranged radially on the inside. The supporting portion has a supporting surface that faces the bundle of bristles and supports the bundle of bristles in the axial direction. The supporting portion has a radially inner edge portion that faces a rotor portion of the gas turbine when the brush seal is in an assembled state. Starting from the radially inner edge portion, the supporting portion has a radial supporting-portion length together with a substantially constant axial supporting-portion width, the supporting-portion length being greater than the supporting-portion width by at least a factor of four.

Abstract: A clamping device for joining two adjacent-lying flange pieces of components is provided herein. The clamping device forms a frame that is equipped for the purpose of being penetrated by the two adjacent-lying flange pieces. The clamping device further includes a tensioning device that is equipped for the purpose of placing under tension or clamping the two adjacent-lying flange pieces in the frame. In addition, the disclosure relates to a flange connection of two components having such a clamping device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a clamping device (10, 10a, 10b, 20, 30) for joining two adjacent-lying flange pieces (110, 210, 310) of components (100, 200, 300). The clamping device forms a frame (11, 21, 31) that is equipped for the purpose of being penetrated by the two adjacent-lying flange pieces. The clamping device further comprises a tensioning device (12, 13, 22, 23, 32, 33) that is equipped for the purpose of placing under tension or clamping the two adjacent-lying flange pieces in the frame. In addition, the invention relates to a flange connection of two components having such a clamping device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a supporting structure, particularly a seat rail, to which passenger seats are mounted. The seat rail has a wave guide for wireless transmission of data signals in at least one direction, and the seat rail includes openings for the transmission of data signals. A wave guide of the seat rail and a coupling wave guide establish a wireless data connection between the supporting structure and the passenger seat.
