Abstract: A sealing device by which the leakage of fluid is further reduced by securely maintaining the adhesion between a base material and an abradable layer and further strengthening the prevention of fluid leakage is provided. The sealing device according to the present invention includes seal strips provided to either one of a rotating portion or a stationary portion forming a gap therebetween; and a coating layer provided to a base material of the rotating portion or the stationary portion so that the coating layer faces the seal strips. The coating layer is composed of an abradable layer and a bond coat layer.

Abstract: A torque measuring device including a light irradiation element for irradiating a light, and a control unit operatively connected to the irradiation element so as to branch the light into a plurality of lights as beams and control a beam diameter of the respective lights so as to irradiate the lights on a surface of a member to be measured. The torque measuring device further includes a plurality of reflectors disposed on the surface of the member to be measured so as to change reflection state of the respective lights, a plurality of detectors for detecting the changes of intensities of the respective reflected lights and generating signals thereof, and a signal processor for processing the generated signals and operating a rotation period on the basis of the generated signals thereby to calculate a torque of the member to be measured.
