  • Patent number: 8303678
    Abstract: An air intake filter system for a gas turbine. The air intake filter system comprises a housing connectable with a gas turbine for fluid communication with the gas turbine. A frame is located within the housing. A filter assembly comprises a flange connectible with the frame to mount the filter assembly. The flange has a portion contained in a first plane that is adapted to extend in a substantially vertical direction when mounted in the frame. A filter portion is attached to the flange for filtering air therethrough that is communicated to the gas turbine. The filter portion includes filter media capable of separating moisture from air flowing through the filter portion. A moisture resistant first end is attached to the flange and filter portion. The first end has a portion contained in a second plane that extends at an acute angle relative to the first plane. The first end is adapted to form a drain surface to direct moisture away from the interior of the filter assembly.

  • Publication number: 20070025088
    Abstract: A processor module includes a processor and a voltage regulator both mounted on a carrier. The voltage regulator is mounted with its contacts under compression to ensure good electrical contact with pads on the carrier. Heat sinks mounted respectively on the processor and the voltage regulator are rigidly coupled to each other to provide rigidity to the module and thus maintain the desired compression of the voltage regulator contacts.

  • Publication number: 20060171795
    Abstract: An apparatus in one example has a liquid lubricant having a viscosity and surface tension such that, during engagement of a first segment, which has a threaded portion, and a second segment, which has a plurality of threads which are interlockable with the threaded portion of the first segment, friction between the threads of the first and second segments is reduced and metallic debris becomes substantially embedded in the liquid lubricant.
