Abstract: An elevation adjuster for a gun support includes a support mount for detachably mounting the elevation adjuster to a gun support, a base portion connected to the support mount, and a pinion rotatably connected to the base portion. The elevation adjuster further includes an extendible member slidably engaged with the base portion. The extendible member comprises a rack portion which is engaged with the pinion, such that rotation of the pinion causes the extendible member to move relative to the base portion. The pinion is connected to a handle for manipulation by a user of a gun which is connected, in use, to the elevation adjuster. The extendible member comprises a gun mount for detachably connecting the elevation adjuster to a gun.

Abstract: A case press is disclosed. The case press has a ram moveable relative to a base by an electric actuator. The case press also has a sensor for determining relative movement between the ram and the base. Further, the case press has a load cell for measuring a load exerted by the ram on a die positioned, in use, between the ram and the base.

Abstract: A system may include a memory having computer-readable instructions stored thereon and a processor that executes the computer-readable instructions to receive, from a user, a first login credential associated with an organization on a database management service. The system may receive, from the user, a selection of the first cloud account, retrieve a second login credential for the first cloud account based on the selection, automatically log in to the first cloud account using the second login credential, receive, from the user, input to perform an operation on data in the first database on the first cloud, and transmit, to the first cloud, using the second login credential for the first cloud account, a signal to perform the operation based on the input.

Abstract: The invention relates to improvements in internal loop reactors. The reactor of the invention is characterized by a plurality of cooling tubes which form the annulus between the riser and the downcomer path of said internal loop reactor. The reactor also provides improvements in hydroformylation reactions using the improved reactor.

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: A nozzle assembly (10) for a turbine engine includes an inner band (16) and an outer band (14) spaced apart from each other. An airfoil (12) installed between the bands has a leading edge (18) and a trailing edge (20). The airfoil has cavities formed in it for fluid flow through the nozzle assembly. A plurality of film cooling holes (1A–6H) are formed in a sidewall of the airfoil on a concave side of the assembly, and a plurality of film cooling holes (1J–1R) are formed in a sidewall of the nozzle on a convex side thereof. The holes are formed on each side of the airfoil, adjacent the trailing edge of the nozzle, in a plurality of rows of holes including at least a forward row (C, J), an aft row (A, L), and an intermediate row (B, K). The spacing between the intermediate row and aft row is substantially closer than the spacing between the forward row and the intermediate row.
