Abstract: A system for performing operations on a work center disposed on a drill rig floor includes a robotic system having a base disposed on a track for movement thereon, a robot arm supported on the base, and one or more end effector tools selectively attachable to an end of the robot arm. A control system has a robot controller in communication with the robotic system. The robot controller is configured to command the robotic system to enter a mode for performing a selected operation, command the robot arm to engage one of the one or more end effector tools related to the selected operation from a tool storage, command the robotic system to move along the track to a position adjacent to the work center, and command the robotic system to perform the selected operation at the work center using the robot arm and the engaged end effector tool.

Abstract: A powertrain mounting system includes a pair of engine and transmission mount assemblies. The engine mount assemblies include an isolator assembly having an elastomeric bushing with an encapsulated mounting member, an integral snubber, and a bracket assembly having a one piece can arranged to house the bushing and having an interlock arranged to engage the bushing. The bushing is press-fit into the can and arranged to isolate the mounting member from the can thereby dampening powertrain vibration and controlling powertrain movement, and the snubber is arranged to limit movement of the bushing relative to the can. The transmission mount assembly includes a support member, a pair of isolators positioned relative to each other, and a pair of mounting brackets positioned on the isolators; wherein the isolators are arranged to maintain the mounting brackets in spaced relation to the support member thereby dampening powertrain vibration and controlling powertrain movement.

Abstract: An improved shield and ceramic filter. The shield includes (i) an upright portion (16) comprising a conductive material, (ii) a chamfered portion (22) disposed atop the upright portion (16), (iii) a horizontal portion (18) disposed on a distal portion of the chamfered portion (22) and (iv) one or more openings (20) disposed on the chamfered portion (22). The improved shield (12) desirably but not essentially further includes at least one slot (26) cut into a basal section of the upright portion (16). The at least one slot (26) allows a microstrip transmission line to pass under a portion of the shield (12).
