Abstract:
A non-pneumatic tire may include a hub configured to be coupled to a machine, an outer circumferential barrier radially spaced from the hub and configured to be associated with a tread portion of the tire, and a plurality of support members extending between the hub and the outer circumferential barrier and being configured to support a load on the hub in tension. At least some of the plurality of support members may include at least one tension member coupled to one of the hub and the outer circumferential barrier, and an intermediate member coupled to the at least one tension member and one of the hub and the outer circumferential barrier. The at least one tension member may be configured not to transmit compressive load to the intermediate member.
Abstract:
A liner system for a bed of a material hauling machine is provided. The liner system includes a first panel having a first surface and a second surface. The second surface includes a plurality of projected sections and defines a recess between each of the plurality of projected sections and a keyway recess. The liner system also includes a second panel having a first lip portion and a second lip portion configured to interconnect with the second and first lip portion of adjacent second panels respectively. The second panel also includes a first protruding portion configured to be received into the recess and a second protruding portion configured to be received into the keyway recess. The liner system further includes a locking panel having a first extension member, a second extension member and one or more fastening means configured to fasten the second panel to the first panel.
Abstract:
A decking assembly is provided. The decking assembly includes a pair of support joists and a plurality of planks made from a cementitious composite. Each of the plurality of planks includes a first lip portion and a second lip portion. The second lip portion is mutually opposite the first lip portion. A protruding portion of the each of the plurality of planks is configured to be received into a recess defined on one of the pair of support joists at a first end and on the other of the pair of support joists at a second end of the each of the plurality of planks. A locking panel is configured to interconnect with the second lip portion of one of the plurality of planks. One or more fastening means are defined on a first end and a second end of the locking panel.
Abstract:
A cutter may be configured to sever elastomeric material of a non-pneumatic tire. The cutter may include a mounting fixture configured to be operably coupled to an actuator, and a guide associated with the mounting fixture. The guide may include an elongated rod like member having a longitudinal axis. The cutter may further include a blade configured to sever the elastomeric material, wherein the blade is operably coupled to the guide and extends along the longitudinal axis of the guide. The blade may have a cutting edge remote from the mounting fixture.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a hydraulic valve component using additive manufacturing includes laying successive layers to form a flow aperture for a hydraulic valve component, and creating a lattice or mesh structure that at least partially defines the flow aperture of the hydraulic valve component, or a feature that forms an undercut along a direction that is parallel to a flow direction of the flow aperture, or a flow aperture having a size varying along a circumferential direction of the valve component.
Abstract:
A tool for a boring machine includes an elongated elongated body extending longitudinally from a proximal end to a distal end, the distal end being shaped to receive a cutting tip, and a cavity inside the body. The tool includes a lattice provided within the cavity and a powder provided in the cavity with the lattice.
Abstract:
A nozzle including an exterior surface extending between a first end and a second end of the nozzle. The exterior surface including spray outlets disposed at the second end. An interior cavity is disposed interior to the exterior surface. A first channel and a second channel fluidly connect to the interior cavity. One or more third channels fluidly connect between the interior cavity and an individual spray outlet of the spray outlets. The one or more third channels rotate about a longitudinal axis of the nozzle and angle in a direction away from the longitudinal axis of the nozzle.
Abstract:
A molded tire may include a support structure having an inner circumferential portion and an outer circumferential portion. The inner circumferential portion may be configured to be associated with a hub. The molded tire may also include a tread portion associated with the outer circumferential portion of the support structure, wherein the tread portion may be formed from a first polyurethane having first material characteristics. The support structure may be formed from a second polyurethane having second material characteristics different than the first material characteristics. The support structure may be chemically bonded to the tread portion.
Abstract:
A cooling jacket for a battery pack includes a first half and a second half. The first half and the second half are substantially identical and flip-ably connected to each other. A channel is provided in between the first half and the second half. Further, a coolant flows in the channel provided between the first half and the second half.
