Abstract: Systems and processes are provided for dashboarding tools with multi-directional connection of directed acyclic graphs. The systems and processes presented comprise hardware architecture, computer-implemented processes, and instructions configured to carry out the processes for dashboarding tools with multi-directional connection of directed acyclic graphs, wherein the multi-directional connection is between dashboarding tools and external data tools. A user may use the systems and processes to create, view, and share data analytics with other users, drawing upon multiple external and internal directed acyclic graphs or other data models or external data sources with data lineage preserved. The present disclosure solves problems with the currently available systems and processes of data analytics, DAGs, data models, and visualization of data analytics.

Abstract: A hydrodynamic bearing is provided that includes an annular main foil having axially spaced inner and outer surfaces. Bump foils are supported circumferentially on the outer surface. Top foils are supported circumferentially on the inner surface opposite the bump foils. In one example, spacers are arranged between the top foils and the main foils. The spacers can be provided by chemically etching the main foil, in one example. The bump foils include first and second corrugated portions respectively providing first and second axially heights. The first axial height is less than the second axial height and is arranged at a leading edge of the bump foil relative to the direction of airflow across the hydrodynamic bearing.

Abstract: A thrust bearing for a rotary machine includes first, second and third layers. The second layer includes a corrugated foil arranged between the first and third layers. The corrugated foil includes a wall having peaks engaging the first layer and valleys engaging the third layer. A depression is arranged in the wall between first and second peaks. The depression is spaced from the first and third layers. The first layer includes multiple arcuate top foils that are arranged adjacent to a thrust runner of a rotatable shaft. A corresponding number of arcuate corrugated foils may be used to support the top foils. The third layer, which is provided by an annular main plate, includes multiple arcuate spacers arranged circumferentially on the main plate. The spacers are generally aligned with a trailing edge of the top foils. The depressions decrease the stiffness of the bump foils. The spacers direct the axial load through the thrust bearing in a desired manner.
