Abstract: An impact tool includes a core and a plurality of projections. The core is formed of a first material that has a first specific gravity and each projection is formed of a second material that has a second specific gravity. The plurality of projections is configured on the core such that at least two projections intersect a first hypothetical plane disposed on the first side of the core and at least two projections intersect a second hypothetical plane disposed on the second side of the core and that is opposably facing the first side. Each of the first and second hypothetical planes is disposed a distance from the central lengthwise axis of the core that is greater than the radius of the core and less than the sum of the radius of the core and the length of a projection.

Abstract: One or more embodiments for a rolling drink coaster. The rolling drink coaster includes a top assembly coupled to a bottom plate. A plurality of rollers are disposed on an underside of the rolling drink coaster that allow the drink coaster to roll and to be movable over a surface. An interior cavity of the rolling drink coaster is configured to hold a beverage container. The rolling drink coaster includes one or more stabilizer pieces configured to support and stabilize the beverage container when located inside of the rolling drink coaster. The rolling drink coaster may have an angled top body or a straight cylindrical shaped top body. In one embodiment, a bottom plate is fastened to a bottom surface of the top assembly of the rolling drink coaster. The bottom plate is configured to receive one or more axel assemblies that surround each roller and allow the drink coaster to move.

Abstract: An example safety device includes a storage member, a membrane disposed within the chamber, a material disposed within the membrane, and an actuator moveably attached to the membrane. The storage member has a main body that defines a first opening, a chamber, and a windowed portion. Each of the first opening and the windowed portion provides access between the chamber and an environment exterior to the chamber. The membrane has a first configuration and a second configuration. The material is contained within the membrane when the membrane is in the first configuration and is in fluid communication with the environment exterior to the membrane when the membrane is in the second configuration. The actuator is moveable between a first position and a second position such that movement of the actuator results in movement of the membrane from the first configuration to the second configuration.

Abstract: A gearbox assembly for a gas turbine engine comprises a planetary gearbox having at least one ring gear and at least one planet gear, which exerts a force on the ring gear in the direction of a force vector as it rolls on said ring gear; and a holding device for fastening the at least one ring gear on another structure, having a first section, which extends in the axial direction on one side of the force vector and/or of a straight-line extension thereof, and having a second section, which extends in the axial direction on the other side of the force vector and/or of the straight-line extension thereof. A gas turbine engine and a method for producing a gearbox assembly are furthermore made available.

Abstract: A device includes two components which are rotationally fixedly operatively connected to one another. One component engages certain regions radially around the other component in an axial direction. Between the components, there is a substantially ring-shaped structural unit by which the rotationally fixed connection is produced. The structural unit includes two elements which extend in a circumferential direction radially between the components. Via the structural unit, there is an interference fit between the radially outer component and the structural unit and between the radially inner component and the structural unit over the entire operating range of the device. The elements bear against one another in the region of their end sides facing toward one another. The coefficient of thermal expansion or the coefficients of thermal expansion of the elements is or are greater than the coefficient of thermal expansion or the coefficients of thermal expansion of the components.
