Abstract: According to an aspect of the present invention, a method for storing a digital annotation is provided. The method includes obtaining a notification of a creation of a digital annotation and identifying an anchor associated with the digital annotation. Once the digital annotation has been received and the anchor identified, a resource: locators representative of a location of the anchor is stored. The resource: locators includes a locator that contains at least one locator part. Additionally, a determination is made as to whether there is a content associated with the digital annotation, and if so, a resource: contents representative of the content associated with the digital annotation is stored.

Abstract: A system and method for achieving clearance control for a high-pressure turbine by means of casing mechanical deflection. An active clearance control system is provided to act on a blade that rotates near a shroud. The shroud is attached to a case at a shroud supporting location, or shroud hanger. A clearance is required between a tip of the blade and the shroud. The blade tip and shroud are surrounded with an elastic case. This case can deflect radially in response not only to thermal expansion, but also to a difference in pressures acting on the inner and outer diameters of the case.

Abstract: A method for controlling fluid leakage between a first pressure region and a second pressure region within a gas turbine engine using a first sealing member and a second sealing member. The first sealing member is movably coupled to a portion of the gas turbine engine, and a space defined generally between a portion of the first sealing member and a portion of the second sealing member fluidly couples the first pressure region to the second pressure region. The method includes moving the first sealing member towards the second sealing member using fluid pressure within a portion of the engine, and, using the first and second sealing members, substantially controlling fluid leakage between the first pressure area and the second pressure area through the space generally without contacting the first sealing member with the second sealing member.

Abstract: This device comprises a body (2) having outlets (8), and a bonnet (3) housing a rotor (6) being submitted to the action of the inflowing fluid and being connected to a reducing gear (15) activating the closing device. This device is characterized in that the opening of the outlets (8) is carried out with respective angularly sliding shutters (9) being turned by means successively shifting them in opposite directions to thus respectively obtain the opening and closing of the outlets (8). The means shifting the shutters (9) are made up by studs (12, 13 and 14) being provided on the lower surface of the rotary intermediary plate (4) being solid with the reducing gear (15).

Abstract: An electric accumulator battery, comprising a recipient which is closed by means of a lid composed of a lower lid and an upper lid joined together, delimiting an intermediate chamber. The lower lid has filling holes (15), in which closing stoppers with a gas outlet valve are assembled, which end in the chamber defined between the two lids. The upper lid has openings (10) for the passage of the connection terminals (3), and at least one gas outlet hole (12). The two lids have facing ventilation openings (7-7′).

Abstract: An electric accumulator battery, constituted of a series of independent modules, each of which comprises a recipient with a lid subdivided into cells in which positive and negative helically wound electrodes and an intermediate separator are housed. The recipient of each module comprises an outer wall, of straight rectangular prismatic shape, and an inner wall which defines three cylindrical cells (9) of coplanar axes, tangent to each other and closed on the lower base. Axial ventilation passages are defined between these two walls, which pass through the base through openings (5 and 6).

Abstract: Electric accumulator battery, which comprises a receptacle (1) with cover, of a size which fits in the compartment traditionally reserved for this purpose in a motor vehicle. This receptacle is subdivided internally into a series of cells (2) that are distributed in two or more parallel rows between which are formed intermediate ventilation ducts (3), which are open to the outside through the bottom and the cover.

Abstract: Handle for accumulator battery comprising a central grip and two steps on each side of the grip. The outer end walls of the steps have rounded perimeters. Each outer step is provided with an oval opening intended to cooperate with a respective pivot which the battery cover has on its opposite sides. The oval shape of the pivot cooperates with the oval shape opening due to their orientation to prevent removal of the handle at either a folded down or upraised orientation. The span of the first steps of the handle covers the terminals of the battery, and each first step permits anchoring of the cover-pieces over the terminals.

Abstract: Electrical storage cell battery comprising electrically interconnected cells each comprising positive plates, negative plates, intermediate separators and free or immobilized electrolyte, each cell further comprising an independent cylinder which ends on its open top in a common prismatic vessel, with all cylinders placed parallel to and near each other. In the same plane, the vessel is provided at least on its external lateral surface with complementary connecting elements for mechanical attachment to other vessels, including female connecting elements and male connecting elements provided on at least two of the opposite faces of the vessel. The connecting elements may also be placed on the cylinders.
