Abstract: A gas turbine engine is provided that includes a high pressure compressor (HPC), a combustor section, a high pressure turbine (HPT), and a bypass tangential on board injector (TOBI) system. The combustor section has a combustor. A core gas path extends through the HPC, the combustor section, and the HPT. The bypass TOBI system extends circumferentially around the engine axial centerline, and has a plurality of nozzles, inner and outer radial sides, a plurality of first type and second type radial passages configured to allow the gas from the HPC to pass from the inner radial side of the bypass TOBI system to the outer radial side of the bypass TOBI system, wherein the first type radial passages are differently configured from the second type radial passages.

Abstract: The present document describes a method, a processor platform and a processor readable medium for controlling a supply chain for moving goods by agents according to orders. The method comprises: updating a knowledge base populated with statuses of the goods; statuses of the agents; rules for establishing expected behaviors of the goods and of the agents; and the orders. The method further comprises: determining, based on the knowledge base, instructions to be executed by the agents for moving the goods to achieve the orders wherein each elapsed time between each agent sending the status of a good or its own status to the knowledge base and the same agent receiving an instruction is smaller that the expected completion duration of the same instruction.

Abstract: The present document describes a method, a processor platform and a processor readable medium for controlling a supply chain for moving goods by agents according to orders. The method is for controlling globally and/or individually, and for optimizing based on live events, in real-time, in a single or multi company environment, simultaneously many well known business activities such as customer relationship management (CRM), pickup calls phone services, scheduling, monitoring of picking up and delivery of parcels and operations status, of transfer, of terminal, of interleaving and of deliveries, human resource management, pricing, maintenance, engine monitoring, device monitoring and invoicing, offering thus integrated solutions to each segment of the market of goods transportation in a single system. The method comprises: updating a knowledge base populated with statuses of the goods; statuses of the agents; rules for establishing expected behaviors of the goods and of the agents; and the orders.

Abstract: Adsorbate is removed from a liquid mixture using a vessel containing a side effluent exit port above a zone of adsorbent material and below a second zone of adsorbent material used to remove adsorbate from a reverse flow regenerating fluid.
