Zusammenfassung:	A seal assembly for a rotary machine is provided. The seal assembly includes a shim seal including multiple seal plates forming a C-shaped shim seal or a box shaped shim seal. The C-shaped shim seal includes a first side portion having a smaller width than that of an opposing second side portion, and the second side portion of the C-shaped shim seal includes a gap between at least two straight faces with an inward angle for allowing positioning within the slot between stator components. The box shaped seal includes a plurality of cuts at two opposing sides or corners for allowing high pressure fluid to occupy the cavity of the box-shaped shim seal. The seal may be inserted within one or more slots between adjacent stator components of the rotary machine.
