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.

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 cartridge seal assembly includes an outer housing including a first tubular segment having a first axial end and a second axial end, and a first flange extending radially inward from the second axial end; an inner housing including a second tubular segment having a third axial end and a fourth axial end, and a second flange extending radially inward from the fourth axial end; and a first seal ring having a first tapered inner circumferential surface that defines a first passage through the first seal ring. The inner housing is removably secured to the outer housing, and the first seal ring engages a portion of one of the inner housing and the outer housing.

An aerosol-generating system includes a main body, a cartridge, and a connecting component. The main body includes a main body housing enclosing a power supply. The cartridge includes a cartridge housing enclosing a reservoir of liquid aerosol-forming substrate. The cartridge is releasably connectable to the main body by the connecting component. The connecting component is fixed to the main body housing and is less stiff in at least one direction than the main body housing. The connecting component that is less stiff the main body housing and the cartridge housing can act as a shock absorber when the aerosol-generating system experiences a significant impact, such as when dropped on a surface. This reduces damage to other components of the system and, in particular, may prevent leaks of liquid resulting from damage to the liquid reservoir.

A sealing device includes a plurality of non-contact seals provided along a sealed shaft; a contact seal provided on at least one of two sides of the plurality of non-contact seals; an injection part that supplies purge gas into a first space of spaces arranged in an axial direction of the sealed shaft, the spaces being between the plurality of non-contact seals and the contact seal; and a collector that collects the purge gas from a second space of the spaces between the plurality of non-contact seals and the contact seal, the second space being positioned to be next to the first space in the axial direction.

An intershaft seal assembly for use between a rotatable outer structure and an inner structure within a turbine engine is presented. The assembly includes a primary sealing ring, a translatable carrier, a secondary sealing ring(s), a lower-pressure chamber, a higher-pressure chamber, a first channel(s), and a second channel(s). The primary ring is disposed within and extends from a circumferential groove about the carrier so as to sealingly engage the rotatable outer structure. The primary ring rotates within the groove and with the rotatable outer structure. Each secondary ring is interposed between the carrier and the inner structure. The carrier slidingly contacts the secondary ring(s). The lower-pressure chamber is generally defined by the carrier and the inner structure adjacent to a higher-pressure side. The higher-pressure chamber is generally defined by the carrier and the inner structure adjacent to a lower-pressure side. Each first channel traverses the carrier so that a gas from the lower-pressure side may enter the lower-pressure chamber. Each second channel traverses the carrier so that a gas from the higher-pressure side may enter the higher-pressure chamber. The sum of the translation-resistant forces (F.sub.TTR) encountered by the carrier is less than the translation-resistance force (F.sub.TR) encountered by the primary seal ring.

An adsorption device for compressed gas or a non-compressed gas, is provided with a vessel with an inlet for the supply of a compressed gas or a non-compressed gas to be treated, and an outlet for treated gas and an adsorption element is affixed in the vessel. The adsorption element extends along the flow direction of the compressed gas or the non-compressed gas to be treated, between the inlet and the outlet. The adsorption element has a monolithic supporting structure that is at least partially provided with a coating that contains an adsorbent.
