20090092495AXIAL FLOW HYDRAULIC TURBINE WITH FIXED BLADES BOLTED-ON - A hydraulic turbine has a runner blade bolted to a hollow runner hub. The runner blade has a flange that mates with a corresponding recess on the hub. Bolting connections pass through complementary array like patterns of apertures spread across and in the hub and blade flange to attach the blades to the hub.04-09-2009
20090092496AXIAL FLOW HYDRAULIC TURBINE WITH BLADE MOUNTING - A hydraulic turbine has a runner blade fixedly mounted to a runner hub. The runner blade has a mounting flange having a generally rectangular shape held in contact with a complementary generally rectangular shaped outside surface portion of the runner hub. The complementary rectangular shapes increases surface contact area between the blade mounting flange and the hub over that of circular shaped flanges and thereby reduces the stress levels between the blade flange and the hub. Further, the surface contact area between the blade mounting flange and the blade root is increased to thereby reduce the stress level in the blade root fillets.04-09-2009
20100320730Resiliently deformable padding installed on a hitch so as to protect bumpers - A resiliently deformable protective padding system, has a padding element laterally connected to a trailer coupler in a movable configuration, the padding element comprising a groove having a predetermined size, the groove configured to engage an edge extending integrally from the trailer coupler.12-23-2010

20080273198ENCLOSURE FOR A LINEAR INSPECTION SYSTEM - An apparatus for an enclosure of a linear inspection system for the inspection of products that uses at least one camera and at least one laser. The enclosure is placed in a production line environment as to allow the passage of the products to pass through an aperture of the enclosure. More specifically, the enclosure allows to shelter cameras and lasers that are oriented towards an inspection zone through a translucent surface of the enclosure. Furthermore, in another aspect of the invention, the cameras and lasers are fixed to mounting stations in the enclosure. The mounting stations are positioned as to orient the cameras and lasers towards an inspection zone through the translucent surface of the enclosure.11-06-2008
