Disclosed herein is an indicating marker and method of use for removably attaching the indicating marker to a structure comprising an opening. The indicating marker comprises a cover device configured to removably seal the opening of the structure. At least one light is attached to the cover device. A power source is electrically connectable to the at least one light to emit a visible light from the at least light and illuminate the cover device. Alternatively, a wireless signal emitter is attached to the cover device and is configured to receive a signal from a wireless signal receiver separate from the structure and transmit a wireless response signal to the wireless signal receiver. In one example, both a light and a wireless signal emitter are attached to the cover device.

A manufacturing method of a bearing device for a vehicle wheel (1) includes: a pressure adjusting step of enclosing, in a work chamber (Rw), the bearing device for a vehicle wheel (1) to which a sealing member (9) on an outer side is fitted in the work chamber (Rw), and adjusting a pressure in the work chamber (Rw) to a predetermined atmospheric pressure (Pt) according to an environment of a use area of the bearing device for a vehicle wheel (1); and a sealing step of fitting a cover (12) that seals an inner side opening (2a) of an outer ring (2) or an inner side sealing member (6) that seals between the outer ring (2) and a hub ring (3) or an inner ring (4) to the inner side opening (2a) in the work chamber (Rw) in which a pressure has been adjusted.

A toilet seal for sealing between a plumbing fixture discharge and a waste drainpipe outlet is described. The toilet seal comprises a flange member having an inwardly extending flexible lip. A flexible sleeve extends downwardly from the flange member. The toilet seal further includes a compressible member having an upper surface disposed adjacent to a lower surface of the flange member. The compressible member further has a lower surface and a plurality of ridges extend downwardly from the lower surface of the compressible member.

A liquid control valve including a body comprising an inlet port, an outlet port, and an interior chamber, the body defining a liquid passageway between the inlet and outlet ports. Also included is a plunger comprising a groove provided on an external wall, the plunger being configured to reciprocate within the interior chamber of the body between a first position where the valve is closed and a second position where the valve is open. Also provided is a sealing arrangement within the groove configured to seal between the plunger and the interior chamber of the body. The sealing arrangement includes a first sealing element on the external wall of the plunger and spaced apart from an inner wall of the internal chamber, and a second sealing element on the inner wall of the internal chamber and spaced apart from the external wall of the plunger.

Disclosed is a hermetically sealed assembly for precompression of a martinsetic metal for use in negative pressure energy transfer systems, and method of making same. The assembly comprising a martinsetic metal disposed between and in contact with flanged sapphire windows, the flanges defining an open area therebetween to accommodate expansion and contraction of the martinsetic metal. Hermetic sealing means include a bellows element, which can comprise a convoluted cross section, at the periphery of the assembly to enable operation over temperature ranges from ambient to cryogenic without loss of integrity or leakage.

A method for disassembling/assembling a gas turbine including a seal plate disposed on a first side of a rotor disc in an axial direction of the rotor disc, and a seal plate restraint part for restricting movement of the seal plate relative to the rotor disc in a radial direction of the rotor disc includes a seal-plate-restraint-state switching step of moving the seal plate restraint part along the axial direction to switch between a seal plate non-restraint state where the seal plate restraint part does not restrict movement of the seal plate in the radial direction and a seal plate restraint state where at least a part of the seal plate restraint part protrudes in the axial direction from the seal plate and thereby restricts movement of the seal plate in the radial direction.

A sealing part disposed between a claw opening-and-closing member and a support member. The sealing part includes a first contact part that is in contact with the claw opening-and-closing member, and a second contact part that is in contact with the claw opening-and-closing member at a position different from that of the first contact part.

A labyrinth seal including a stator and a non-contacting rotor, and annular elastomeric seals. The confronting surfaces of the stator and rotor define at least one interface passage, including a radially-outermost annular interface passage between an annular, outermost, radially-extending projection of the stator and an annular rearwardly-extending distal projection of the rotor that overlaps the radially-extending projection of the stator, the radially-outermost annular interface passage tapering outwardly and rearwardly at an acute angle relative to an axial reference line. The annular elastomeric seals are stationary with the stator during dynamic operation of the rotor, and are not contacted by a surface of the rotor during dynamic operation. The interface can also have two radially-disposed exclusion chambers, the outer exclusion chamber being defined in part by a radially-inboard projection of the rotor. The stator can have a projection providing a contact avoidance interface position inboard of at least two contaminant-excluding interfaces.

A shut-off device includes a housing, a central passage extending in an axial direction to surround the shaft, a ring-shaped first disk, a ring-shaped second disk arranged in the housing and parallel with and spaced apart from the ring-shaped first disk in the axial direction, and an expandable annular seal having a first side wall, a second side wall and an elastic bottom, the first side wall and the second side wall each extending in a radial direction, and the bottom connecting a radially inner end of the first side wall with a radially inner end of the second side wall, and the housing includes an inlet for a fluid to expand the seal, the first side wall of the seal arranged and clamped between the housing and the first disk and the second side wall of the seal arranged and clamped between the housing and the second disk.
