Abstract: An air seal assembly for a gas turbine includes a flow path platform. The air seal assembly further includes a casing disposed radially outside the flow path platform. The air seal assembly further includes an annular finger seal mounted to the casing and disposed between the flow path platform and the casing. The annular finger seal includes a first circumferential portion mounted to the casing, a second circumferential portion extending from the first circumferential portion, and a third circumferential portion extending from the second circumferential portion and contacting an outer surface of the flow path platform. The third circumferential portion includes a plurality of air cooling holes configured to direct a cooling air stream onto the flow path platform.

Abstract: The invention features multi-specific protein complexes with one domain comprising IL-15 or a functional variant and a binding domain specific to a disease antigen, immune checkpoint or signaling molecule.

Abstract: The present invention provides a lightweight glove for baseball or softball that may include an elastic backfinger to provide a conforming fit to the wearer's hand. In general, the elastic backfinger may replace existing, often leather backfingers, the back panel, the liner, and/or other elements of traditional gloves glove with the elastic material, combination of elastic materials, or combination of elastic and inelastic materials.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for a telephony server screening voice calls. In one embodiment, the telephony server receives, form an originating device, an incoming call to be routed to a receiving device. The server answers the incoming call to establish a communication link with the originating device. The server transmits, via the communication link, a challenge audio signal containing an audio message for playback by the originating device. The server receives, via the communication link, a response from the originating device, and, in response to authenticating the response, routes the incoming call to the receiving device. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Abstract: Flow diverters for installation in mid-turbine frame systems at a conduit outlet of gas turbine engines are described. The flow diverters include a diverter body having a connector portion defining a diverter inlet, a diverter extension at least partially defining a diverter outlet, and a curved portion arranged between the connector portion and the diverter extension, the curved portion configured to change a direction of flow from a first direction to a second direction that is about 90° from the first direction as the flow passes from the diverter inlet to the diverter outlet.
