Abstract: A combustor includes a combustion liner that defines a combustion chamber. The combustor further includes an outer sleeve spaced apart from the combustion liner such that an annulus is defined between the combustion liner and the outer sleeve. The combustor further includes a fuel injection assembly having a boss coupled to at least one of the combustion liner and the outer sleeve. The boss includes an inner flange coupled to the combustion liner, an outer flange spaced from the inner flange, and a body extending between the outer flange and the inner flange. The inner flange includes an outer wall, an inner wall, and an impingement plate between the outer wall and the inner wall. The boss defines a cooling circuit having a post-impingement plenum defined in the inner flange; and a plurality of outlet channels defined in the inner flange and fluidly coupling the post-impingement plenum to the annulus.

Abstract: A stator vane assembly includes a platform that defines an opening. The stator vane assembly further includes an airfoil segment that includes an airfoil and a boss. The airfoil includes a leading edge, a trailing edge, a suction side wall, and a pressure side wall. The airfoil extends radially between a base and a tip. The boss extends from at least one of the base or the tip of the airfoil. The boss is disposed in the opening of the platform. The stator vane assembly further includes a mechanical retention device that couples the platform to the boss of the airfoil segment.

Abstract: A back-to-back ultra-slim module (USM) includes an inline USM (USMi) connector and a top mount USM (USMt) connector. The back-to-back USM assembly can be made as a double-sided module to allow a stacked module configuration to save system area. The stacked module has a USMi module inline with the system board on one side of the system board, and a USMt module vertically offset from the other side of the system board. The stacked module can have a thermal layer between the USMi module and the USMt module.

Abstract: Techniques for system recovery using a failover processor are disclosed. A first processor, with a first instruction set, is configured to execute operations of a first type; and a second processor, with a second instruction set different from the first instruction set, is configured to execute operations of a second type. A determination is made that the second processor has failed to execute at least one operation of the second type within a particular period of time. Responsive to determining that the second processor has failed to execute at least one operation of the second type within the particular period of time, the first processor is configured to execute both the operations of the first type and the operations of the second type.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the present invention provide virtual configuration systems and methods that overcome some or all of the downfalls of typical approaches by allowing for persistent configuration of an operating system of a host device. A virtual configuration layer may be incorporated into the file system of the host device and executed to modify configuration data stored outside of the file system, without changing the file system. Once the configuration data is modified, it may be used to configure the file system and/or the operating system of the host device when it is loaded by a client device. In some embodiments, the host device may be nonvolatile storage (e.g., a flash drive) embedded into a client device (e.g., a diskless system).

Abstract: Techniques for error handling by a servomechanism are disclosed. The servomechanism determines, based on a first set of values assigned to servomechanism variables, electrical signals for controlling a component during a particular time interval, and applies the electrical signals to move the component. Subsequently, the servomechanism measures values for attributes associated with the component. Based on the measured attribute values, the servomechanism computes a second set of values for the servomechanism variables. Responsive to determining that the measured attribute values are erroneous, the servomechanism refrains from modifying the electrical signals based on the second set of values for the servomechanism variables.

Abstract: A merchant server includes a payment gateway and a gateway database. The payment gateway receives payment information from a payment page. The payment gateway adjusts an amount to be paid to produce an adjusted amount to be paid. The payment gateway forwards the adjusted amount to a payment processing entity for payment approval. The database includes end user data accessible by an end user identifier generated by the payment gateway using selected items within the payment information. The amount to be paid is adjusted by the payment gateway based on end user data accessed from the gateway database.
