Abstract: A do-it-yourself-friendly self-contained marine air conditioning unit, marine air conditioning system, and method for installation is disclosed. The unit includes a seawater cooling circuit, a refrigerant circuit, and a blower assembly. The refrigerant circuit includes a reverse valve connecting a compressor, an evaporator, and a refrigerant tube thermally engaged with a titanium condenser coil. The seawater cooling circuit includes the titanium condenser coil. The titanium condenser coil has a titanium condenser coil outflow and a titanium condenser coil inflow. The blower assembly is mounted in communication with the evaporator, wherein the blower assembly may pull air through the evaporator. This blower is capable of achieving up to 270-degrees of rotation about a single axis. The system also includes a universal controller to allow for optimal integration with existing systems.

Abstract: A swivel gyro-mount system for a self-contained air conditioning system, disclosing a unit having a main body with an evaporator having an evaporator cover with an aperture bordered on a side opposite of the evaporator by a plurality of frustum-spherical wall sections, thereby creating a boundary. A frustum-spherical gyro-swivel ring is positioned within the boundary of the frustum-spherical wall sections. A fitment ring is removably affixed to a protruding lip of the frustum-spherical gyro-swivel ring. The frustum-spherical wall sections movably contain the frustum-spherical gyro-swivel ring in a tight periphery, thereby allowing the frustum-spherical gyro-swivel ring to adjust in orientation, whereby the adjustment in orientation influences a direction of airflow in a conical range of orientations to a blower, whereby said blower may expel air in a plurality of selectable directions in a range of angulation resembling a dual conical shape.

Abstract: A stressed reinforcing tendon for a structure has at least one stressed elongate element and an anchoring body in said structure to which said element is anchored by means of an anchoring device e.g. a wedge, button head or nut engaging the element so as to transmit stress in the element to the anchoring body. To overcome a potential weakness at the connection of the element to the anchoring device, there is a secondary load transfer element secured to the stressed element at a stressed portion thereof and secured to the anchoring body to relieve the said anchoring device of part of the stress being transferred to the anchoring body. The secondary element may be a tube secured to the stressed element by cementing material.
