Abstract: A laundry appliance includes a cabinet that has a front panel. A tub is positioned within the cabinet. A door is coupled to the front panel of the cabinet. The door moves vertically between a closed position and an opened position. A bellows assembly is coupled to the front panel. The bellows assembly extends between the cabinet and the tub. A sealing assembly includes a first seal and a second seal that are each coupled to the bellows assembly.

Abstract: A laundry appliance includes a cabinet defining an aperture in a front surface thereof. A drum is disposed within the cabinet. The drum defines an access opening that aligns with the aperture. A door is coupled to the cabinet and is operable between closed and opened positions relative to the aperture. A bellows extends along a perimeter of the aperture and proximate the access opening. A deflector extends along at least a portion of the perimeter of the aperture. The deflector extends into an interior of the drum over the bellows.

Abstract: A combination washer/dryer appliance is described that includes a tub mounted within an appliance housing and a drum rotatably supported within the tub. A seal assembly that closes an air gap between a rear drum wall and a rear tub wall is mounted to the drum. The seal assembly includes a resilient flap and a travel limiter, which limits the amount of deflection of the resilient flap, thereby defining a maximum deflection limit for the resilient flap.

Abstract: A laundry treating appliance includes a chassis defining an interior and having a front panel defining a front panel opening. A rotatable treating chamber is located within the interior and accessible through the front panel opening. A door assembly is mounted to the chassis for movement between opened and closed positions to selectively open or close the front panel opening. The door assembly includes a window or panel slidable between first and second positions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to polymerisable compounds, to processes and intermediates for the preparation thereof, to liquid-crystal (LC) media comprising them, and to the use of the polymerisable compounds and LC media for optical, electro-optical and electronic purposes, in particular in LC displays, especially in LC displays of the polymer sustained alignment type.

Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing heat exposure of a turbine casing in a gas turbine engine may be provided. The system may include a blade track coupled with a turbine casing with a clip. The system may further include a nozzle guide vane coupled to the turbine casing. A cavity may be formed by an end of the blade track, the clip, and a portion of the nozzle guide vane. A heat shield may be positioned between the clip and the end of the blade track in the cavity such that an edge of the heat shield and the portion of the nozzle guide vane form a gap. The heat shield and the nozzle guide vane may be positioned such that the gap closes in response to the heat shield and the nozzle guide vane thermally expanding.

Abstract: A catalyst for the hydroformylation of at least one olefin, having a ligand fo the general formula (1) —R1, R2, R3 selected from the group including substituted and non-substituted alkyl, substituted and non-substituted aryl, substituted and non-substituted alkenyl, substituted and non-substituted alkinyl, substituted and non-substituted cycloalkyl, and substituted and non-substituted heterocycles, wherein R1, R2 and R3 can each be the same or different, L is selected from a group having a sandwich complex, an oxygen group, substituted and non-substituted alkylene or heterocycles, and substituted aryl or heteroaryl; and aryl and heteroaryl is each substituted with groups which contain at least two heteroatoms and are coupled to the Si via the at least two heteroatoms of the substituents, —n=1-10, preferably 1-5, particularly preferably 1, 2, or 3; and the ligand is coupled to the metal M from the group VIIIb of the periodic table of elements via the Si group.

Abstract: A subassembly of a gas turbine engine includes a heat shield and carrier subassembly for a turbine section are disclosed. The carrier includes support features to couple to an engine casing. The upstream end of the carrier includes a radially inward arm extending toward to an engine axis. The outer end of the radially floating heat shield is coupled to the radially inward arm via a pin-and-slot joint configured to allow movement of the heat shield relative to the radially inward arm of the carrier. In response to thermal expansion and contraction of the vane, the heat shield is configured to move radially outward and inward, respectively, relative to the radially inward arm to maintain contact with the outer platform of the vane.
