  • Patent number: 12107844
    Abstract: A user accesses a remote session, the connection to which is managed by a connection broker, according to a single sign-on (SSO) process. The SSO process includes the user entering his or her credentials and being authenticated to the connection broker. In addition to user authentication, the SSO process includes connection broker authentication to confirm that the connection broker is trustworthy. When the connection broker is authenticated, the user credentials are transmitted to the connection broker in a secure manner and the connection broker forwards them onto a machine hosting the remote session so that the user can be logged into the remote session without entering his or her credentials again.

  • Publication number: 20140258157
    Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems display selectable partners to facilitate a financial contribution from a user, receive user selection of one of the partners and an amount of the financial contribution, receive partner feedback to demonstrate an impact of the financial contribution, and display the feedback to the user. The feedback includes a photograph taken of a beneficiary of the financial contribution upon receiving benefit of the financial contribution. The partner submits the feedback to an organizer for review and the organizer approves and provides the feedback to the user.

  • Patent number: 8167557
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine assembly has combustion gases flowing through a gas flow path. The gas turbine engine assembly includes a stator assembly comprising a stator vane that extends into the gas flow path; and a turbine rotor assembly downstream of the stator assembly and comprising a turbine platform and a turbine rotor blade extending from the turbine platform into the mainstream combustion gases flow path. The turbine rotor blade includes a pressure side and a suction side opposing the pressure side that extend from a leading edge to a trailing edge. The combustion gases form horseshoe vortices at a formation area adjacent the leading edge of the turbine rotor blade, and the turbine rotor assembly further includes a first set of holes in the turbine platform for directing first jets into the formation area of the horseshoe vortices.

  • Publication number: 20100064656
    Abstract: Engines and methods for operating the engines are provided. The engine includes a means for limiting overspeed in flow communication with a turbine section flowpath, wherein the means for limiting overspeed is adapted to block a first portion of an airflow received along a first direction vector from flowing into an exhaust section flowpath and to redirect a second portion of the airflow received along the first direction vector or a portion of the blocked first portion of the airflow to flow along another direction vector that is closer to parallel with a longitudinal axis than the first direction vector.
