Abstract: According to an aspect of the disclosed embodiments, an apparatus for a vehicle includes a locking plate configured to be coupled to a first shaft of a suspension rod. A housing is configured to be coupled to a second shaft of the suspension rod that moves relative to the first shaft. The housing extends along a first longitudinal axis. A pin is configured to rotate about a second longitudinal axis. A locking mechanism is configured to lock the pin in starting position.

Abstract: A bucket for a turbomachine rotor wheel includes an airfoil portion, a shank portion and a dovetail mounting portion, the shank portion including opposite sides, one of the sides formed with a substantially axially-oriented groove extending between forward and aft ends of the shank portion. The other one of the opposite sides is formed with at least one substantially radially-oriented groove. The substantially axially-oriented groove is adapted to receive an elongated damper pin, and the at least one substantially radially-oriented groove is adapted to receive an elongated radial seal pin.

Abstract: A method of planning a path for a multi-axis machine. The method includes specifying kinematic limits for each axis of the multi-axis machine, breaking the path into a sequence of linear moves, and deriving a jerk pulse array for each axis for each move.

Abstract: A method includes receiving current location and heading information, receiving threshold range, and bearing values, receiving an incident report corresponding to a traffic incident at a location of interest, and selectively retaining the incident report if the point of interest is within the threshold range and bearing values.

Abstract: Industrial equipment is monitored by at least one industrial controller assigned to each group of industrial equipment. A plurality of queues is established by logic within one of the industrial controllers for each group. Each queue holds a number of event records. Logic is established in each industrial controller for detecting a predetermined event and for storing an indication of the detected event associated with a time stamp as an event record in a queue associated with the predetermined event. A group computer is interconnected with each industrial controller in the group through a data communication network. A scan rate is established for each queue in that group. Event records are periodically read from each queue based on the scan rate for that queue. The event records for all queues in a group are accumulated by the group computer and forwarded to a server. The group computer may dynamically set the scan rate and/or the queue length for each queue based on records read from the queue.
