20080216585 | CONSTANT MOMENT TESTING DEVICE FOR ELONGATED MEMBERS - A testing device applies a load controlled bending moment which is constant along a length of an elongated member. The testing device also includes a drive system which rotates the elongated member while the bending load is applied to rapidly find defects which may only appear at a particular rotational position to determine whether the bending stiffness is uniform about the entire diameter of the elongated member. | 09-11-2008 |
20090045620 | DAMPER ROOT RING - A damper that provides damping to the motion caused by flow induced vibration of a bellows type expansion joint. The damper is at least partially filled with a damping medium and located at a root region of the bellows type expansion joint convolutions. The damper is manufactured in segments which have an attachment structure therebetween to facilitate retrofitting of the damper to various conduits that are experiencing or are expected to experience flow induced vibration. | 02-19-2009 |
20100001874 | REMOTE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING ONSET OF STRUCTURAL FAILURE - A method for monitoring a structure subject to a mechanical load comprises measuring physical parameters associated with natural oscillations of the structure, transforming the physical parameters into normal mode spectra, and broadcasting an alarm as a function of a change in the normal mode spectra near a critical point. The normal mode spectra represent the natural oscillations of the structure. | 01-07-2010 |

20130175394 | ADJUSTABLE SPRING SYSTEM AND METHOD OF ADJUSTING SPRING RATE - An adjustable spring system includes an adjustment member adjustable relative to a coil spring to provide a desired number of unsupported coils. A method of adjusting the spring rate of the spring includes detecting a condition, and driving the adjustment member with an actuator in response to the detected condition. An effective length of the spring is changed with the adjustment member. | 07-11-2013 |

20130166157 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TRANSFERRING MATERIAL BETWEEN VEHICLES - A user interface alerts an operator of the lead vehicle if the follower vehicle location is within a predefined radius of the lead vehicle location and a predetermined angular difference with respect to a heading of the lead vehicle. A user interface response mechanism is configured such that the operator can accept or reject jointly coordinated movement of the lead vehicle and follower vehicle for unloading the lead vehicle during an unloading period. The first wireless communications device is adapted to transmit an alignment data message to the follower vehicle to maintain a target offset between the lead vehicle and the follower vehicle, where the target offset is based on a first vehicle identifier of the follower vehicle, a second vehicle identifier of the lead vehicle, and preset target offset stored in at data storage device associated with the lead vehicle. | 06-27-2013 |
