  • Patent number: 11346252
    Abstract: A case assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a case extending circumferentially about an engine central longitudinal axis and two or more components installed in the case at different axial and/or radial locations. A retainer is installed at a circumferential end of the case, the retainer configured to circumferentially retain the two or more components at the case. A circumferential retainer of a case assembly of a gas turbine engine includes a retainer pin configured for installation in retaining feature of a circumferential end of a case, and one or more retainer arms extending from the retainer pin. The one or more retainer arms are configured to extend at least partially across two or more components installed in the case at different axial and/or radial locations to circumferentially retain the two or more components at the case.

  • Publication number: 20050003522
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to an apparatus for analysing fluid taken from a body, and more in particularly for analysing body fluids from mammals. The analysis apparatus is coupled to a dairy system for milking of cows, wherein it may be useful to analyse the status of the milk. The apparatus is preferably located as early as possible in the production chain in order to obtain results as close as possible to the cows. Hence the environment in which the apparatus is to be used may be harsh towards internal apparatus modules or consumables, therefore the apparatus is isolated and the internal environment is conditioned regarding humidity, temperature as well as the amount of ammonium. Furthermore the steps for analysing milk is automated inside the apparatus in order to avoid influence from the external environment.
