Abstract: A machine for processing textile substrates includes a base configured to receive a substrate support carrying a textile substrate, and may further include a nozzle assembly supported above the base for applying pretreatment liquid to a pretreatment area of the substrate during relative movement between the nozzle assembly and the substrate support along a conveying direction. A forced air assembly is supported above the base for movement transverse to the conveying direction. A controller that controls the relative movement between the substrate support and the nozzle assembly along the conveying direction, or the movement of the forced air assembly along the second axis based on information related to a pretreatment area or a print area of the textile substrate in order to direct heated air from the forced air assembly onto an area of the textile substrate substantially corresponding to the pretreatment area or the print area.

Abstract: A dry gas seal for turbo machinery and the like includes a rotating shoulder and mating stationary face seal forming a seal between an associated shaft and outer housing. The shoulder is supported in a segmented holder having a machined shroud in which the shoulder is retained, and a rotor mounted on the shaft and detachably connected with the shroud to facilitate machining the shroud when disassembled from the rotor. The face seal is supported in a segmented housing having a machined first member mounted in the stationary outer housing and retaining an inside portion of the face seal, and a second member retaining an outside portion of the face seal and being detachably connected with the first member to facilitate machining the first member when disassembled from the second member.
