Abstract: A method, implemented on a computing device, for determining defects per unit of a product is disclosed. The method initiates with generating a data retrieval session between a processor and a database server. Thereafter, a product test data from the database server is retrieved based on a query executed by the processor. A data updating session between the database server and a plurality of data sources is then generated. The data updating session is terminated during retrieval of the product test data. Additionally, the product test data retrieved is inaccessible by the plurality of data sources. Moreover, the defects per unit is displayed through a display unit. The database server reactivates the data updating session with the data sources in response to the conclusion of the display of the defects per unit.

Abstract: A linkage pin assembly is disclosed. The linkage pin assembly includes a grease fitting, a linkage pin, and a coupling. The grease fitting includes an outer shell. The outer shell encloses an internal cavity. The outer shell includes a thread blank having at a second end of the outer shell. The thread blank includes hardened lead threads. The hardened lead threads are induction hardened to at least RKW C 53. The linkage pin has an untapped hole. The coupling is between the grease fitting and the linkage pin. The coupling is formed when the hardened lead threads of the grease fitting create corresponding threads in the untapped hole of the linkage pin when the grease fitting is inserted into the linkage pin.

Abstract: A ripper shank protector including a first side, a second side, and a center face extending between the first side and the second side. The shank protector further includes a first protector mount in the first side, and a second protector mount in the first side, the second protector mount including an open-ended slot that allows sliding the slot onto a mounting projection extending from a ripper shank.
