Filed:

Nov 7, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/703772

Inventors:

James D. Goss - Burbank CA, US
Jozsef L. Moharos - Northridge CA, US
Dean J. Nunez - Sherman Oaks CA, US

Assignee:

The Boeing Company - Chicago IL

International Classification:

F16J015/40
F16J015/44

US Classification:

277347, 277355, 277412, 277431, 415112, 415113, 4151682, 415230

Abstract:

An inter-fluid brush seal assembly and associated method are provided. The seal assembly defines a gas passage for supplying gas to interfaces with a rotatable member. At least one of the interfaces is defined by a brush seal, and the flow of the gas through the interfaces can prevent the flow of fluid through the assembly, thereby sealing the assembly and preventing the fluid from passing therethrough. The gas and the fluid can be drained from the assembly through one or more drains.

International Classification:

F16J 15/44
F16J 15/40

US Classification:

277355, 277431

Abstract:

A gas-buffered brush seal assembly and associated method are provided. The seal assembly includes at least one brush seal that defines an interface with a rotatable member. The seal assembly is configured to deliver a gas to the interface so that the gas at least partially prevents the flow of a fluid therethrough. In addition, the seal assembly can be adjustable so that the flow of the fluid is controlled by adjusting the flow rate of the gas through the seal assembly.

US Classification:

384517, 384535, 384536, 384500

Abstract:

A bearing cup having a ring and a shoulder extending radially inward from an inner surface of the ring. At least one tang extends axially outward from a first side of the ring. At least one tab extends axially outward from a second side of the ring opposite the first side. And, at least one slot is formed in the second side. The bearing cup prevents the outer race of a conventional rolling element bearing from rotating while allowing the bearing to move in an axial direction. The assembly is designed for use with either a single rolling element bearing or a set of two bearing assemblies or any number of closely spaced bearings. The advantage of the device is that it eliminates spinning of the bearing assembly outer race. The device also prevents frictional sliding between a bearing assembly outer race and a preload spring. Frictional sliding imposed on a bearing outer race can induce galling and subsequently lead to part failure.

Abstract:

The present disclosure provides an access node for transferring and/or assigning network passwords. The access node includes a first interface for sending and receiving communication of a first type to and from a first node operating in a wireless local area network (WLAN). The access node also includes a second interface for sending and receiving communication of a second type to and from a second node in a mobile network, such as a GSM/GPRS network. The access node further includes a short messaging service (SMS) module for sending and receiving. SMS messages to the second node carrying an OTP allocated. The access node also includes a mechanism to verify a precondition before the OTP is sent to the second node.
