Appl. No.:

10/247986

Assignee:

BellSouth Intellectual Property Corporation - Wilmington DE

International Classification:

H04M 300

US Classification:

700 32, 702183, 37922001, 37926506

Abstract:

Performance measurement and analysis of local exchange carrier interconnections. Performance measurements can be used to establish that an incumbent local exchange carrier (âILECâ) is providing interconnections to one or more competitive local exchange carriers (âCLECsâ) that are at least equal in quality to the interconnections provided to itself. Performance measurements are defined to measure the timeliness, accuracy and availability of the interconnections provided to the CLECs. A performance measurement is based upon performance data that us collected from one of the ILECs processes (preordering, ordering, provisioning, collocation, billing, maintenance and repair, emergency 911, operator service/directory assistance and trunk blockage). A performance report is defined to specify the types of performance measurements and dimensions that are included, as well as the reporting period.

International Classification:

F16C 4304

US Classification:

Abstract:

An outer race carrier (52) is constructed for receiving an outer race (26) of an antifriction bearing assembly (10). The carrier (52) in turn is slidably fitted in an opening (57) of a support wall to accommodate slight axial movements of a shaft (14). A plurality of longitudinal splines (54) on the carrier are disposed to be fitted into matching slots (56) in the opening (57). A deadband gap (60) is provided between sides of the splines and slots, with a radial gap (62) at ends of the splines and slots and a gap (59) between the splines and slots sized larger than the deadband gap. With this construction, operational distortions (slope) of the support wall are accommodated by the larger radial gaps (62, 59) while the deadband gaps (60) maintain a relatively high springrate of the housing. Additionally, side loads applied to the shaft are distributed between sides of the splines and slots, distributing such loads over a larger surface area than a race carrier (28) of the prior art.

Assignee:

United Technologies Corporation - Hartford CT

International Classification:

F01D 900

US Classification:

4151821

Abstract:

A centrifugal pump 10 having a centrifugal impeller 12 and a volute housing 56 for collecting flow discharged from the impeller is disclosed. Various construction details are developed which decrease stresses in the components and improve the efficiency of the construction. In one particular embodiment, the volute housing is formed inwardly of the pressure vessel 32 and has at least one sidewall 64 having a pressure region 58 bounded by the sidewall on the interior side of the pressure region and bounded by the outer pressure vessel on the exterior side of the pressure region to exert a pressure force on the sidewall under operative conditions.

International Classification:

B63H 120

US Classification:

416221

Abstract:

A rotor disk 18 and rotor blade 26 assembly is disclosed having a blade lock 66 which retains the rotor blade against axial movement in an axially extending blade retention slot 58. Various construction details are developed which shield the dead rim region D. sub. d and shift at least a portion of the loads associated with the locking device from the dead rim. In one detailed embodiment, a projection 68 from the live rim D. sub. 1 of the disk 18 is adapted by slots 86 to receive blade locks 66.
