Abstract: An emission-capturing apparatus includes a tank having an inlet and an outlet. The apparatus further includes a muffler fluidly coupled with the outlet to intercept fluid exiting the outlet, permit passage of gas through the muffler, and inhibit passage of liquid through the muffler. The apparatus further includes a hose having a tank end and a distal end. The tank end is coupled to the inlet. The apparatus further includes a fitting fluidly coupled to the distal end of the hose. The fitting is configured to be fluidly coupled to an end section of an ejection port of a vehicle to receive an emission from the ejection port.

Abstract: Apparatuses for supporting an object adjacent to an aircraft are provided. In one example, an apparatus for supporting an object adjacent to an aircraft includes a rotational tray assembly that includes a support subassembly. A platform subassembly is pivotally coupled to the support subassembly and is configured to support the object. A drive screw subassembly is operatively coupled to the platform subassembly and the support subassembly to move the platform subassembly relative to the support subassembly. The rotational tray assembly is configured to couple to a lift to position the rotational tray assembly adjacent to the aircraft.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for testing electrical wiring of a device are provided. In one example, the device has a conductive portion, an electrical component, and a multiphase plug that is electrically coupled to a neutral conductor and at least two phase conductors. The neutral conductor is coupled to the conductive portion and the at least two phase conductors are coupled to the electrical component. The apparatus includes a receptacle that removably couples to the multiphase plug. A grounding cable removably couples to the conductive portion. A power supply generates power and is in electrical communication with the receptacle to communicate the power to the receptacle. An annunciator is in electrical communication with the power supply and the grounding cable and is configured to generate a response when the receptacle, the multiphase plug, the conductive portion, and the grounding cable are in electrical communication to communicate the power therethrough.

Abstract: A load assembly for use with an aircraft includes a support sub-assembly and a lifting sub-assembly. The support sub-assembly is configured for removable coupling to a structural member of the aircraft. The structural member has a first interior position and a second interior position. The support sub-assembly extends between the first interior position and the second interior position. The lifting sub-assembly is movably coupled to the support sub-assembly. The lifting sub-assembly is movable along the support sub-assembly between the first interior position and the second interior position and configured to lift or lower a load, and to support the load as the lifting sub-assembly moves along the support sub-assembly between the first interior position and the second interior position.

The apparatus further includes a hose having a tank end and a coupler end. The tank end is coupled to the inlet. The apparatus further includes a coupler coupled to the coupler end of the hose. The coupler has a drain hole. The coupler is configured to be coupled to a surface having an ejection port, to completely cover the ejection port when the coupler is coupled to the surface and to support the coupler end of the hose in a position to receive an emission when the drain hole is aligned with the ejection port.

Abstract: A liner is disclosed for a waterway of the type adapted to overlie the bottom of the waterway while a cementious layer covers and protects the liner. The liner itself is positioned at the bottom of the waterway by a machine having two elongated and spaced apart guide rails, each having a hollow interior and a longitudinally extending slot open at each end. The liner includes an elongated, flexible and water impervious sheet of a geomembrane material, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or polyethylene material, having two spaced apart side edges. A strand is secured along each edge of the sheet by wrapping a flap of the sheet around the strand so that the flap encircles and then flatly abuts against one side of the sheet. A heat seal between the flap and the sheet bonds the flap and sheet together and the enclosed strand is then longitudinally slidably positioned within the interior of one of the guide rails.
