Abstract: A seal assembly for sealing a circumferential leakage gap between outlet portions of first and second adjacent transition ducts in a gas turbine engine includes a first seal member affixed to the outlet portion of the first transition duct and a second seal member movable with respect to the first seal member. The second seal member is positionable in a non-sealing first position and a sealing second position. While in the first position, the second seal member is circumferentially spaced from the outlet portion of the second transition duct. While in the second position, the second seal member extends across the leakage gap and creates a seal with the outlet portion of the second transition duct to substantially prevent leakage through the leakage gap.

Abstract: A system (10) is provided for sealing a gap (12) between a transition exit frame (14) and a vane rail (18) at a turbine inlet (20). The system includes a seal (11) with a compliant seal member having a generally u-shaped profile to provide a sealing function in an axial direction. The compliant seal member includes a U-shaped inner sheet (28) securely pressed within a U-shaped outer sheet (26). The outer and inner sheets include spaced-apart segments (30, 32) in a lateral direction which are spaced-apart by misaligned slots (36, 38) to block passage of air there through. The system may also include wear resistant material (62) interposed between the seal and the vane rail. A lateral gap between adjacent exit frames may include a plurality of ribs defining valleys and tips, with crushable material disposed between the valleys and tips.

Abstract: A unit display package assembly for packaging articles for hanging from display hooks or for free-standing display comprises a foldable paperboard blank having a flat heat shrinkable film adhered thereto, said paperboard blank being cut, scored, and folded to define a central header portion having contiguous first and second header wings articulated thereto; film support legs depending from each of said first and second header wings; lower edges of said central header and said wings and the inner side edges of said support legs defining an elongated U-shaped opening of predetermined width; said heat shrinkable film being adhered to said support legs and bridging said opening; a glue lap articulated to said first support leg and folded over one edge of said film to sandwich the film therebetween; said header wings being adapted to be folded into juxtaposition with said central header portion while said glue lap is folded into juxtaposition with said second support leg to form a three layer header having a depe
