Abstract: A rail-mounted fire and overheat detection system includes a rail and a plurality of sensor elements positioned along the rail. A plate is located at a first end of the rail, and secured thereto at a plate opening. One or more damper elements extend about a perimeter of the rail to dampen vibrational forces acting on the rail. A method of assembling a rail-mounted fire and overheat detection system includes installing a first rail end of a rail into a plate opening of a plate, installing one or more damper elements about a perimeter of the rail at the plate opening, and installing a face plate to axially retain the one or more damper elements.

Abstract: A valve actuation mechanism has a plurality of links. Each link has a proximal end and distal end, and the links are disposed adjacent a valve member. The actuation mechanism also has at least one roller connected to the distal ends of at least two links. The roller contacts a surface of the valve member. In addition, at least one pivot for each link is present in the valve, wherein each pivot is positioned on the proximal end of each of the plurality of links.
