| 主权项 | 1. A system, comprising: a seal, comprising: a first elongated structure having a first axis;a first opening into the first elongated structure, wherein the first opening extends along the first axis;a first portion of the first elongated structure disposed on a first side of the first opening, wherein the first portion extends along the first axis;a second portion of the first elongated structure disposed on a second side of the first opening, wherein the second portion extends along the first axis, and the first and second portions are configured to pre-load the seal along a gap between first and second bucket segments of a turbine, wherein the first opening channels a fluid flow into a hollow region of the seal to induce expansion of the seal in the gap during operation of the turbine. | ||
