Abstract: In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a niobium metal alloy composition includes: a vanadium content in the range of about 1.5 to about 12 weight percent; a hafnium content in the range of about 5 to about 13 weight percent; a titanium or zirconium content or a mixture of titanium and zirconium content in the range of about 0.25 to about 2.5 weight percent; and a niobium content as a balance of the alloy.

Abstract: Automatic generation of document templates based on recognized composition element patterns in a group of clustered documents is provided. Composition elements used in documents are typically unique to a particular user or to a group of users. An automated template generation system detects composition element patterns in documents associated with a given user. Sequences of composition elements from one document are aligned with sequences of composition elements of one or more other documents. The aligned sequences are scored to generate a document distance matrix. The documents are clustered together based on the alignment scores and a document template is generated for each corresponding cluster of documents. In one or more aspects, selecting a document template and updating it results in a modified document template or, in certain cases, a new document template. The generated document templates are displayed in a user interface for selection by a user.

Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure, a gas turbine engine is presented. The engine has at least one turbine stage and each stage has a turbine disc concentric with the axis of the engine. The turbine disc has a turbine arm positioned axially from the disc and rigidly attached thereto. The drive arm is also concentric with the turbine axis and has an outer surface. The turbine stage also has a cover plate concentric with the turbine axis and covering at least a portion of the turbine disc. An arrangement of turbine blades are positioned around the periphery of the disc and are retained on the turbine disc at least partially by the cover plate. The system includes a spanner nut, and threads on a portion of the turbine drive arm. The spanner nut is threaded onto the turbine arm which applies an axial force on the cover plate, thereby retaining the cover plate.
