摘要:
A system is disclosed for optimizing product merchandising area allocation. One example includes receiving inputs defining financial metrics for product categories. A linear regression model forecasts responses of the financial metrics for the product categories to endogenous variables, which include sales per merchandising area per product category per store and total sales volume per store. Each of the product categories includes a user option to select constraints for either a minimum and maximum of an area in which the product category is displayed, or a minimum and maximum change from a current area in which the product category is displayed. The system generates a merchandising plan that optimizes for the combined total of the financial metrics of the product categories in accordance with the linear regression model, including changes in merchandising area for each of a plurality of the product categories, within the selected constraints.

The invention provides exemplary systems and methods for processing solid supports. According to one system, a probe is provided having a distal end and a lumen terminating at the distal end. The transport mechanism is adapted to place the distal end of the probe into a well having a plurality of solid supports that are held within a fluid. A detection mechanism is provided to detect the presence or absence of one of the solid supports at the distal end while the distal end is within the fluid. A measuring system is provided to measure the general size of the attached solid support.
摘要:
A drive shaft (26) of a gear type fuel pump (2) forms a driving interconnection between an engine gearbox (4) and a shaft (14) which carries the driving gear (10) of the fuel pump. The drive shaft has a slightly diverging lubricant supply passage (65) which receives lubricant from an oil jet (70) in the engine gearbox and directs the lubricant to the engaged splines (44, 46) at the inboard end of the drive shaft. Lubricant from the area of spline engagement is returned to the gearbox via radial passage (78), annular lubricant return passage (68) and radial passage (80). O-ring seals (82, 84) on the drive shaft, which straddle a drain passage (86) prevent the mixing of the lubricant and the fuel which may envelop an intermediate portion of the drive shaft. Wear of the engaged, oil lubricated splines (40, 42) at the outboard end of the drive shaft should provide a general indication of spline wear at the inboard end of the drive shaft because both ends are exposed to similar lubrication.

The combustion section of the gas turbine is comprised of an engine casing receiving compressor discharge air and housing a plurality of combustion chamber assemblies having removable inner center liners. The combustion chamber assemblies are comprised of an outer liner having an end wall in which fuel injectors are mounted and the removable inner center liner extending within the outer liner from the end wall to define an annular combustion chamber space adjacent the end wall.
