Abstract: A seal, system and method for sealing a connection between adjacent barrier members each having a channel along one edge and flange along an opposed edge sized to be received within a corresponding channel of an adjacent barrier member. The seal comprises an elongate core having an opening extending longitudinally therealong and a plurality of fins extending therefrom. The system includes the seal and a wiper sized to surround the flange. The method comprises locating the wiper about the flange and the seal within the channel, engaging the flange within the channel and moving the second barrier member in a downward direction with the wiper below the channel of the second barrier member so as to remove and prevent debris from entering the connection between the channel and the flange.

Abstract: Revealed herein is a system and method for monitoring continuity between adjacent barrier members. Each barrier member has a first edge defining a first connector and an opposed second edge defining a second connector. The second connector is adapted to cooperatingly engage a corresponding first connector of an adjacent barrier member. The system comprises detectable bodies along the first connector of the barrier member and a detector locatable along the second connector of the adjacent barrier member. The detector detects the proximity of the detectable bodies. The method comprises inserting a first barrier member into a soil formation, engaging the second connector of a second barrier member with the first connector and inserting the second barrier member into the soil formation adjacent to the first barrier member while utilizing the detector to verify engagement of the first and second connectors.

Abstract: A front fork yoke for a motorcycle where the yoke includes a parallel pair of posts rigidly maintained laterally spaced apart by a pair of parallel semi-circular arches extending laterally between the posts. The imposts of the upper arch are curved rounded-over shoulders. The front face of the yoke is smoothly rounded-over towards the rear face of the yoke. The arches are upwardly convex and support the motorcycle head tube therebetween. The lower arch is butt-jointed to the fork uprights without the use of collars external to the uprights.
