Abstract: A nozzle assembly includes a first nozzle cavity, a second nozzle cavity, a rib positioned between the nozzle cavities, a rib cap positioned on the rib, a first cavity insert, and a second cavity insert. The rib cap is wider than the rib, such that the rib cap extends outwardly into those portions of the nozzle cavities immediately adjacent the rib. The first cavity insert and the second cavity insert include a longitudinal surface offset from the rib. The offset surfaces include rib cap-interface surfaces that are joined to the rib cap. A method of modifying the nozzle assembly is achieved by installing a rib cap having a width greater than that of the rib and by installing modified cavity inserts having a surface offset from the rib, and by joining rib cap-interface surfaces of the modified cavity inserts to the rib cap.

Abstract: A system may comprise a remotely-accessible controller configured to present a user interface to one or more of the parties; and a state information repository to be updated throughout a transaction, wherein changes in the state information are constrained at least in part based upon a transaction type determined from a predetermined set of transaction types; wherein the controller is configured to initiate an electronically mediated interaction pertinent to a communication transaction between the parties, attempt to establish an initial context for the transaction based upon previous electronically-mediated interactions that include the initiating party, establish a defined role for each of the parties, each role defining bounds upon the activity of each party within the transaction, and, upon advancement of the state information from a first state to a second state, engage associated parties through the user interface.

Abstract: The present application provides a nozzle assembly for use in a turbine engine. The nozzle assembly may include a first nozzle cavity, a second nozzle cavity, a rib positioned between the first nozzle cavity and the second nozzle cavity, a first cavity insert with a first cavity insert configuration, a second cavity insert with a second cavity insert configuration, and a rib cap positioned on the rib. The rib cap may include a rib cap configuration such that only the first cavity insert with the first cavity insert configuration fits within the first nozzle cavity and only the second cavity insert with the second cavity insert configuration fits within the second nozzle cavity.

Abstract: A method for structured communication comprises initiating an electronically mediated interaction pertinent to a communication transaction between specified parties; attempting to establish an initial context for the transaction based upon previous electronically-mediated interactions that include the initiating party; establishing a transaction type from a predetermined set of transaction types; establishing a defined role for each of the parties, each role defining bounds upon the activity of each party within the transaction; establishing a state information repository to be updated throughout a transaction, wherein changes in the state information are constrained at least in part based upon the transaction type; and providing a controller configured such that upon advancement of the state information from a first state to a second state, associated parties are engaged through a user interface operatively coupled to the controller.

Abstract: A process for manufacturing a label that includes moving a web of a substrate along a first direction, placing a label upon a portion of the web, pressing the label onto the portion of the web so as to attach the label to the portion of the web and diminishing skewing of the portion of the web during the pressing.

Abstract: The second-stage nozzles have vanes comprising airfoil profiles substantially in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z set forth in inches in Table I with the X, Y and Z values commencing at the radially innermost aerodynamic section of the airfoil and then made relative to that section for the Z coordinate values. The X, Y and Z values may be scaled as a function of the same constant or number to provide a scaled-up or scaled-down airfoil section for the nozzle.

Abstract: The third-stage nozzles have vanes comprising airfoil profiles substantially in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z set forth in inches in Table I wherein Z is a perpendicular distance from a plane normal to a radius of the turbine centerline and containing the X and Y values with the Z value commencing at zero in the X, Y plane at the radially innermost aerodynamic section of the airfoil and X and Y are coordinate values defining the airfoil profile at each distance Z. The X, Y and Z values may be scaled as a function of the same constant or number to provide a scaled-up or scaled-down airfoil section for each nozzle vane.
