20080282545 | METHOD FOR ADDING A BLAST RESISTANT CARGO HOLD LINER - The invention is an explosive resistant liner, located inside an enclosed space, and made from a blast resistant material. The liner is preferably constructed inside the enclosed space, consisting of lay-up, curing and assembly steps utilizing a collapsible tool. The invention is particularly applicable to blast protection for aircraft cargo holds. | 11-20-2008 |
20090158591 | CLADDING FOR FATIGUE CONTROL - A method of manufacturing an oilfield component includes analyzing a first model of the oilfield component, identifying at least one region in the oilfield component susceptible to fatigue failure at a selected loading condition, constructing the oilfield component from a base material, and selectively reinforcing with a clad material the at least one region susceptible to failure. | 06-25-2009 |
20100005661 | POST-TENSION STRAND REPAIR METHOD AND APPARATUS - Embodiments include but are not limited to apparatuses and systems for post-tension strand repair. A post-tension strand repair apparatus may include two or more guiding legs, each guiding leg including a strand guide configured to engage a strand end, wherein the two or more guiding legs are coupled to allow the strand guides to be drawn toward each other and thus urge the strand ends toward each other. Other embodiments may be described. | 01-14-2010 |
20120246937 | METHOD FOR ENHANCING THE FATIGUE LIFE OF A STRUCTURE - An apparatus and method adapted to enhance the structural performance of a desired connection and provide a readily perceivable indication of predetermined limitations having being reached prior to actual failure of a connection. A method for enhancing structural performance of a desired structure by preventing fracture propagation. | 10-04-2012 |
20130067746 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR REMOVING A SLEEVE FROM A BORE - A method of removing a metal sleeve from a bore formed in one or more elements is disclosed. The sleeve may be a cold-expanded sleeve secured within the bore by means of an interference fit. The method includes removing material from the internal surface of the sleeve by means of cutting along a line to a depth less than the thickness of the sleeve, and subsequently urging the sleeve from the bore. | 03-21-2013 |
20130255083 | Method of Rebuilding Off-Highway Truck Bodies - A method of rebuilding an off-highway truck body by replacing the entire body floor with a replacement body floor specifically built for the intended application of the truck body. Custom-built replacement body floors are thus used to successfully rebuild the off-highway truck body to specific applications with minimum effort. | 10-03-2013 |
20150082635 | METHOD OF REPAIRING SPACER FITTING ASSEMBLIES - The present disclosure relates to a method of installing a spacer fitting repair device on a utility support structure. The method includes removing an insulator strand from an insulator aperture of a spacer fitting, abrading a first outer surface and a second outer surface of the spacer fitting connected to the utility support structure to create roughen the first and second outer surfaces, positioning a front plate against a portion of the first outer surface, positioning a back plate against a portion of the second outer surface, and clamping the front plate and the back plate to the spacer fitting. The method may be used to repair spacer fittings for supporting utility transmission wires or cables. | 03-26-2015 |
20150376910 | MONOPOLE TOWER REINFORCEMENT CONFIGURATION AND RELATED METHODS - Antenna tower reinforcement configurations use bolted gusset plate and splice plate configurations that allow for increased clearance access using short threaded bolts and threaded gusset plate apertures for increased clearance access and/or ease of installation. The gusset plates are welded to the reinforcement plates rather than bolted. Splice plates are bolted to the gusset plates using splice bolts. | 12-31-2015 |
