Abstract: A radial-type anti-backlash nut for use upon linear actuator leadscrews uses a separate housing resting upon the actuator's main nut. The anti-backlash action is a multi-finger collet and spring setup located inside the housing. The collet tapers radially inward toward tips of the fingers at a specified taper angle. The whole interior length of an internal thread of the collet engages an external thread of the leadscrew. The housing is a pre-load nut with an internal tapered surface that mates with the collet fingers with substantially the same taper angle. The pre-load nut, when screwed onto external threads of the adjustment nut, both compresses a load spring and applies radially inward adjustable load force to the collet fingers against the leadscrew. Three tolerances adjust load: the taper angle of the main nut's collet fingers, the spring load's compression, and the collet finger mismatch with respect to the lead screw.

Abstract: An apparatus and methods are provided for an air cleaner to be mounted onto an air inlet of an internal combustion engine. The air cleaner comprises an air filter that includes a filter medium disposed between a curved base and a cover.

The cover secures the air filter and the curved base to the air inlet such that an airstream is drawn through the filter medium and is conducted into the air inlet. A raised portion of the cover is configured to cooperate with the curved base to ensure a desired volume of the airstream is available to the air inlet at substantially all engine speeds.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing and controlling solar panel arrays are provided. The solar panel array may include one or more articulating joints that may provide variability in the arrangement of solar panels, which may allow the solar panel array to be distributed over varying types of underlying surfaces. The articulating joints may allow orientations of solar panels to be different relative to one another. The articulating joints may convey rotational force across the joints, so that a rotational force used to drive a first solar panel may also be conveyed across the joint and used to drive a second solar panel. The controls system may include row-specific semi-autonomous, or autonomous, controllers as well as controllers to interface with multiple rows. The controllers may include sensors to measure system power generation and basic operations aspects of the solar field to directly measure, or infer, module shading within the solar field.

Abstract: A system and method for securing a roof truss to a load bearing wall is disclosed. A strap is attached to a roof truss at one end and extended to the top of a load-bearing wall. A buckle is placed over the strap to secure the strap between the buckle and the roof truss, and also the buckle and the load-bearing wall. The end of the strap is extended along the top of buckle toward the roof truss and a top plate secures the strap between the buckle and the top plate. Screws are placed through holes in the top plate and corresponding holes in the buckle to attach the system to the top of the load-bearing wall. The system and method of the invention provides both horizontal (lateral) resistance and uplift resistance, thus resisting horizontal (lateral) forces while at the same time providing uplift resistance.
