    Abstract: A seal for a blind shear ram is configured to extend between a first carrier and a second carrier of the blind shear ram. The seal includes a curved portion and an elastic layer extending through the curved portion. The elastic layer is configured to contact at least one of the first carrier and the second carrier to seal a wellbore when the first carrier and the second carrier are in a closed position. The elastic layer has a first elasticity. The seal also includes an anti-extrusion structure coupled to the elastic layer. The anti-extrusion structure extends through the curved portion. The anti-extrusion structure has a second elasticity less than the first elasticity. The anti-extrusion structure defines a plurality of slits to facilitate the anti-extrusion structure extending through the curved portion.

    Abstract: Various embodiments include gas turbine seals and methods of forming such seals for advanced gas path (AGP) heat transfer designed gas turbine engines. In some cases, a turbine includes: a first arcuate component adjacent to a second arcuate component, each arcuate component formed of a ceramic matrix composite and including a seal slot located in an end face, each seal slot having a plurality of axial surfaces and radially facing surfaces extending from opposite ends of the axial surfaces and an overhanging seal assembly disposed in the seal slot. The overhanging seal assembly including an intersegment seal including a plurality of seal segments defining two vertical seal segments and a plurality of horizontal seal segments and a first overhanging positioner shim seal and a second overhanging positioner shim seal, each including an extended portion. The overhanging seal assembly disposed in the seal slot so as to provide position constrainment of the two vertical seal segments.

The elastic layer is configured to contact at least one of the first carrier and the second carrier to seal a wellbore when the first carrier and the second carrier are in a closed position. The seal also includes an anti-extrusion structure coupled to the elastic layer. The anti-extrusion structure has a second elasticity less than the first elasticity. The anti-extrusion structure includes a plurality of ribs spaced along a longitudinal axis of the anti-extrusion structure. The plurality of ribs define a plurality of spaces configured to receive portions of the elastic layer.

    Abstract: Various embodiments include gas turbine seals and methods of forming such seals. In some cases, a turbine includes: a first arcuate component adjacent to a second arcuate component, each arcuate component including one or more slots having a seal assembly disposed therein. The seal assembly including an intersegment seal including a plurality of seal segments defining one or more end regions. One or more of the plurality of seal segments including at the one or more end regions a plurality of jet holes and a channel having a wire disposed therein, wherein the intersegment seal provides sealing of one or more end gaps defined proximate the one or more end regions in response to the thrust of a flow of pressurized air through the plurality of jet holes.
