Abstract: A fuel manifold may be provided for use in a turbine engine. The fuel manifold may include four discrete segments including a first segment, a second segment, a third segment, and a fourth segment. The fuel manifold may also include a first line coupled to the first segment and the second segment and a second line coupled to the third segment and the fourth segment. The first line may be configured to supply a first portion of the fuel to the first segment and a second portion of the fuel to the second segment. The second line may be configured to supply a third portion of fuel to the third line and a fourth portion of fuel to the fourth segment.

Abstract: A container (100) for consumer goods comprises: a housing (20) having an opening for accessing the consumer goods; and a lid (40) connected to the housing (20) and movable relative to the housing (20) between a closed position in which the lid (40) covers the opening and an open position in which the opening is uncovered. A first surface of the lid (40) is disposed adjacent to a first surface of the housing (20) when the lid is in the closed position, and a microsuction structure (60) is provided for securing the first surface of the lid (40) to the first surface of the housing (20) when the lid (40) is in the closed position. The microsuction structure (60) is formed of a microsuction layer (68) and an inactivation layer (70); the microsuction layer (68) comprises: a first portion which underlies the inactivation layer (70); and a second portion which is exposed at the outer surface of the microsuction structure (60) to define at least one resealable area of the microsuction structure (60).

Abstract: An idler having an axis of rotation. The idler may include a hub with a flange. A plurality of rim members are positioned along a perimeter of the flange and have generally axially facing, opposite side surfaces. At least one of the side surfaces has a first interlocking formation. A clamping plate is connected to the flange. The clamping plate has a second interlocking formation coupled with the first interlocking formation. A dampening member interposes the first and second interlocking formations.
