Patent number: 11346449Abstract: A seal assembly component includes an annular body having a centerline, first and second axial ends spaced along the centerline, an inner circumferential surface, and an opposing outer circumferential surface. The inner surface defines a bore for receiving a shaft and is sized such that the body inner surface frictionally engages the shaft outer surface to couple the component with the shaft. At least three cavities extend axially from the body first axial end and are spaced circumferentially about the centerline. Each cavity is located adjacent to the bore so as to define a separate centering body portion between a radially innermost surface section of the cavity and an axially-extending centering surface section of the body inner circumferential surface located inwardly of the cavity. Any radial growth of each centering body portion is lesser than concurrent radial growth of remaining portions of the body during rotation of the shaft.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2020Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: KAYDON RING & SEAL, INC.Inventor: Sanjay Baheti

Patent number: 11333197Abstract: A circumferential seal assembly suitable for forming a thin film between a rotatable runner and a sealing ring is presented. The assembly includes an annular seal housing, a rotatable runner, an annular seal ring, and a plurality of groove structures. Each groove structure includes a groove and an optional feed groove. The groove includes at least two adjoining steps defined by base walls arranged to decrease depthwise. Two adjoining base walls are disposed about a base shoulder. Each base shoulder locally redirects a longitudinal flow to form an outward radial flow in the direction of the annular seal ring. The base walls are bounded by and intersect a pair of side walls. A side wall includes at least one side shoulder which narrows the groove widthwise and locally redirects the longitudinal flow to form a lateral flow in the direction of the other side wall. Outward and lateral flows separately or in combination enhance stiffness of a thin-film layer between the annular seal ring and the rotatable runner.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2020Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignee: Stein Seal CompanyInventor: Glenn M.

Publication number: 20220116419Abstract: An automated creation of a phishing document uses personal data of a person stored in a database of persons and anonymous and categorisable personal properties stored in a hierarchical properties database. A relevance value is assigned to each personal property. At least one property of the person contained in the personal data has a correspondence in the properties database, that is a correspondence property. It is verified whether one of the correspondence properties is hierarchically subordinate to a phishing-document-specific default personal property. This subordinate correspondence property forms a creation property. The phishing document is created based on the creation property if this requirement is met. It is verified whether the relevance value of the creation property corresponds to a predefined target relevance value. The creation property is selected as a preparation property and used to prepare the phishing document if the assigned relevance value corresponds to the target relevance value.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2019Publication date: April 14, 2022Applicant: IT-Seal GmbHInventors: David KELM, Christian KLOS
