Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a vent tube apparatus, system and methods incorporating a ball cage with a modified pill device design comprising a traceable material such as a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag for use in conjunction with a filling machine during container filling operations for a quicker and more accurate detection of the location of the pill device to the extent it becomes detached from the ball cage during filling operations, and to increase the safety of the filling operation and reduce costs and time when a malfunction occurs.

Abstract: A turbine shroud assembly includes a carrier segment, a blade track segment, and a buffer air seal assembly. The carrier segment includes a cantilevered wall extending radially inwardly within a recess so as to form a groove between the cantilevered wall and the inner wall of the recess. The carrier segment includes a second recess located at an end of the groove that opens deeper into the segment than the groove. The buffer air seal assembly includes first and second seal members arranged in the groove, the second seal member being arranged radially outward of the first seal member. A first end of the second seal member extends circumferentially beyond the first circumferential end of the first groove, and the first end of the second seal member extends radially outwardly into the second recess so as to block circumferential movement of the second seal member.

Abstract: A turbine shroud assembly adapted for use with a gas turbine engine includes a carrier segment, a blade track segment, and a seal system. The carrier segment arranged circumferentially at least partway around an axis. The blade track segment is coupled to the carrier segment and defines a portion of a gas path of the gas turbine engine. The seal system is arranged radially between the carrier segment and the blade track segment to block gases from flowing between the carrier segment and the blade track segment.

Abstract: A turbine shroud assembly includes a carrier segment, a blade track segment, and a buffer air seal assembly. The carrier segment includes a cantilevered wall extending radially inwardly within a recess so as to form a groove between the cantilevered wall and the inner wall of the recess. The buffer air seal assembly includes first, second, and third seal members arranged in the groove. The second and third seal members are aligned with each other and arranged radially outward of the first seal member. The cantilevered wall a barrier portion wider than a main portion of the wall such that the barrier portion extends at least partially into the groove. The second and third seal members are arranged on opposing circumferential sides of the barrier portion such that the barrier portion blocks circumferential movement of the second and third seal members.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a vent tube apparatus, system and methods incorporating a ball cage with a modified pill device design comprising a traceable material such as a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag for use in conjunction with a filling machine during container filling operations for a quicker and more accurate detection of the location of the pill device to the extent it becomes detached from the ball cage during filling operations, and to increase the safety of the filling operation and reduce costs and time when a malfunction occurs.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a non-traceable vent tube and a traceable vent tube cap apparatus, system and methods incorporating a traceable material such as a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag or a magnet for use in conjunction with a filling machine during container filling operations for a quicker and more accurate detection of the location of the non-traceable vent tube or the traceable vent tube cap after becoming detached from a filling machine during filling operations, and to increase the safety of the filling operation and reduce costs and time when a malfunction occurs.

Abstract: An adjustable electrical connector having a first and second sleeve component that are rotatable relative to one another to form either a straight connector or an angled connector. The ends of the sleeve components are angled to allow them to be positioned next to one another and rotate relative to one another. A gasket may be attached to one of the ends to provide a more secure connection. One or more stop members may be utilized to facilitate positioning of the sleeve components relative to one another.

Abstract: A turbine shroud assembly includes a first shroud segment, a second shroud segment, and a damping strip seal. The first shroud segment has a first carrier segment arranged circumferentially at least partway around a central axis and a first blade track segment supported by the first carrier segment. The second shroud segment is arranged circumferentially adjacent the first shroud segment about the central axis. The damping strip seal extends circumferentially into the first shroud segment and the second shroud segment to block gases from passing between the first shroud segment and the second shroud segment.
