Patent number: 8768039Abstract: A system and method for monitoring degradation of a device having a metal layer and a composite layer, such as a vehicle-mounted boom arm. The system can include a collar mounted on an outer surface of the device, a radiography device movably coupled to the collar, and a monitor. The radiography device can include a source of radiography signals positioned to direct radiography signals through at least a portion of the device and a detector to detect radiography signals that have passed through the device. The monitor can be connected to the detector to display an image of the device generated from the detected radiography signals. Anomalies in the device image can represent degradation in the device.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2012Date of Patent: July 1, 2014Assignee: Florida Power and Light CompanyInventors: George D. Survant, Glenn Martin, James J. Kovarik, Kevin J. Urness, Brent D. Burns

Patent number: 8091928Abstract: A coupling assembly includes a fitting having a wall presenting an inner surface, surrounding a lumen, and an outer surface, opposing the inner surface. A barb extends radially away from the outer surface of the wall to a peak. A seal circumferentially surrounds the outer surface of the wall and is spaced from the peak of the barb. A hose presents an initial outer diameter. The hose extends over each of the seal and the barb such that the hose is deformed at the barb to present a displaced outer diameter that is greater than the initial outer diameter of the hose. A cage is spaced at least a distance from the peak of the barb and radially compresses the exterior surface of the hose and the seal to form an interference fit between each of the hose, the barb, and the cage.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2009Date of Patent: January 10, 2012Assignee: Eaton CorporationInventors: Michael Owen Carrier, Ryan Thomas Ellerbrock, Glenn Martin Gregrich, Jill Marie Luginbill, Brett William Schultz, Jerry Michael Welch
