  • Patent number: 10513941
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine, configured with a first chamber and a second chamber separated by a partition wall; wherein the partition wall includes a stationary element and a rotating element separated by a seal and either of the stationary element and the rotating element of the partition wall is segmented by a levered joint. The levered joint includes a lever having a trigger plate, a fixture portion and a fulcrum portion; and, the other of the stationary element and rotating element includes a hammer which is axially aligned and separated from the trigger plate in a first position, and forcibly contacts the hammer portion in a second position so as to create a moment on the lever via the trigger plate, the moment forcing the levered joint apart.

  • Patent number: 9003485
    Abstract: A configuration service comprises a deployment package and a production configuration for a network security device. One or more configuration parameters of the production configuration may be defined by an administrator of the network security device (e.g., the customer). The network security device may be preconfigured with a network address and identifier. The network security device may be configured to automatically request and apply the deployment package at deployment time by use of the preconfigured network address and identifier. The network security device may automatically request and apply the production configuration from the configuration service in response to applying the deployment package.
