Abstract: A molded article suitable for subsequent blow-molding into a final-shaped container. The article includes a neck portion; a gate portion; and a body portion extending between the neck portion and the gate portion, at least a majority of the body portion having an overall shape which is symmetric about a body axis extending longitudinally through a center of the body portion. The body portion includes an inner exterior layer and an outer exterior layer of a first polymeric material; and a core layer of a second polymeric material disposed between the inner exterior layer and the outer exterior layer. A radial thickness or a material of the core layer is selectively varied to govern non-uniform blow molding of the molded article into the final-shaped container.

Abstract: Disclosed herein, amongst other things, is a method for converting a design of an original preform that is blow moldable to form a container into a converted preform having less molding material that is blow moldable to form the same container. The method includes retaining a neck finish and body of the original preform on the converted preform. The method further includes replacing the original base of the original preform with a converted base having an outer base surface that joins with an outer body surface of the body at an base split-line of the original base and that fits offset within an outer body surface of the original base, whereby the converted preform has a reduced total length, disregarding any gate vestige that may be formed thereon, relative to a total length of the original preform.

The adjustment mechanism(s) is/are connected to the helmet, include(s) an engagement member engaged with the facemask, is/are selectively engageable with the facemask in at least two vertically spaced apart positions of the facemask relative to the helmet body, and allow(s) toolless adjustment between the vertically spaced apart positions. Adjustment mechanisms and methods of positioning a facemask are also discussed.

Abstract: An intermediate casing for a turbine engine, comprising at least one central hub and one shroud (12) which are positioned concentrically, and mutually mechanically connected by structural arms (11), with such casing comprising at least one sealing part (13) attached between the shroud (12) and a structural arm (11), with the sealing part (13) including at least one metal core and one seal.

Abstract: A method, computer system, and computer program product to detect anomalies in a multivariate or multidimensional time series data set. The time series data set is retrieved from a monitored device. A pair of neural networks are trained simultaneously using the retrieved time series data set by implementing an adversarial training process, to generate a generative neural network and a discriminative neural network. The anomalies in the time series data set of the monitored device are detected by implementing one or both of the generative neural network and the discriminative neural network to monitor the time series data set.

Abstract: An extraction device of a platform for holding a blade fitted with an upstream flange, out of a turbomachine rotor disc which includes a handle fitted with a radial annular shoulder extended by a threaded pin, a proximal ring and a distal ring which include a tube extended by a radial collar, and a sleeve, the proximal ring being arranged around the pin, the tapped distal ring being screwed onto the other end of the pin and the sleeve being arranged around the two rings between their respective collars, such that screwing of the handle results in moving the distal ring towards the proximal ring, radial deformation of the distal part of the sleeve against the flared part of the cylindrical orifice of the flange and its being joined to the latter, and that it is possible to conjointly extract said platform and the device from the disc.
