Abstract: Apparatuses, systems and methods are provided for secure transmission of data.

Abstract: A system, apparatus and method are provided to automate an audit of an information technology (IT) system.

Abstract: An internal locking system is disclosed, which utilizes electromechanical locking devices to lock and unlock lockable openings.

Abstract: An internal locking system is disclosed, which utilizes electro-mechanical locking devices to lock and unlock lockable openings.

Abstract: A turbine blade includes a shank portion and an airfoil portion with leading and trailing edges and a radially outer tip. An internal closed-loop cooling circuit is formed within the airfoil portion and includes at least one radial outflow passage and at least one radial inflow passage connected by at least one respective tip turn at the radially outer end of the airfoil portion. At least one tip turn is provided with a single turbulence-enhancement device on an underside of the radially outer tip, projecting into the tip turn.

Abstract: An hydraulically activated internal locking apparatus is disclosed including an hydraulic fluid reservoir, an hydraulically activated locking system and a electronic control system, where the electronic control system is in electrical communication with the locking system and the reservoir is in fluid communication with the locking system so that the locking system can be transitioned from a locked state to an unlocked state when the electronic control system receives a unlock or lock code or instruction.

Abstract: A flexible impeller pump having a transparent safety cover. The pump includes a flexible impeller and a housing having a pump and cover. The pump end cover comprises a transparent safety cover which is capable of attachment to the housing. A transparent heat resistant insert is also in contact with the impeller. A spacing means separates the transparent heat resistant insert from the safety cover, thereby forming a chamber. Typically the transparent heat resistant insert is made of borosilicate glass and the transparent safety cover of acrylic plastic or polycarbonate plastic.

Abstract: A turbine casing is provided in two casing halves joined one to the other along a horizontal splitline having flanges with spaced boltholes. A circumferentially extending rib is provided about each casing half at a location just forward of the turbine buckets to minimize or eliminate distortion caused by internal pressure and meridional roll of the casing. One or more axially extending ribs is provided on each casing half. The axial ribs have a radial stiffness which substantially matches the stiffness and thermal response of the flanges.
