Abstract: A shock absorber mounting assembly for an off-road vehicle is provided. The shock absorber mounting assembly may provide A-arm brackets dimensioned and adapted to interconnect body and wheel framing of the off-road vehicle, wherein the lower bracket adjustably engages a lower portion of the shock absorber. The present invention also enables any model year shock absorber to be adapted to operatively associate with the steering system of any off-road vehicle of the same make and model, regardless of model year, through a shock absorber adapter bracket assembly that attaches to the original equipment manufacturer A-arms of the off-road vehicle adding the non-model year shock absorbers. The brackets may be of unitary construction.

Abstract: A curtain airbag apparatus for a vehicle, the curtain airbag apparatus including a mounting tab folded in an upward/downward direction so that portions of the mounting tab overlap one another, and having a decreased vertical length in an assembled state, a cushion folded in the assembled state and configured to move downward while inflated when deployed, and a tab strap having one end coupled to the mounting tab and the other end fixed to the mounting tab in a state in which the tab strap surrounds the cushions, in which when the cushion is deployed, a folded portion of the mounting tab is unfolded, such that the mounting tab is extended, and a position of the cushion is moved downward.

Abstract: A processing apparatus for processing a workpiece includes a tool holding part 9 for holding a tool 3 for processing a workpiece 5, a transferring part 11 for transferring the tool 3 for processing the workpiece 5 with the tool 3, and a control unit 13 for controlling the transferring part 11 so as to transfer the tool 3 with respect to the workpiece 5 on the basis of an NC program, and in the NC program, an arithmetic expression for calculating the position of the tool 3 is incorporated and the program is corrected on the basis of the relationship between the cutting transferring distance, the wear amount, and the deflection amount in addition to the contour error of the tool 3.

Abstract: A shock absorber mounting assembly for an off-road vehicle is provided. The shock absorber mounting assembly provides a shock absorber adapter bracket that selectively interconnects a lower portion of the shock absorber and the original equipment manufacturer A-arm of the off-road vehicle. The present invention thus enables any model year shock absorber to be adapted to operatively associate with the steering system of any off-road vehicle of the same make and model, regardless of model year. The shock absorber adapter bracket may be of unitary construction of resilient material adapted to provide a main portion for selectively and rotatably connecting the original shock fork, wherein two fork portions of the shock absorber adapter bracket operatively associate with the lower portion of the shock absorber.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for analyzing energy used for producing a unit of mass or volume of compressed gas (Specific Energy Consumption) in relation to a common output flow in a compressor system, said method comprising the following steps: —for time interval, Tref, collecting reference measured data points of common output flow Fref and energy (or power) consumption Eref (or Pref) in the compressor system; —calculating energy (or power) use as a function of the common output flow Eref (F) (or <Pref>t(F)) from the measured data points and calculating volume output as a function of the common output flow Vref(F): —calculating average energy consumed for producing a unit of mass or volume of compressed gas as a function of the common output flow <SECref>t(F) from equation Eref(F)/Vref(F) (Or <Pref>t)/Pref); —for time interval, Tsav, collecting measured data points of common output flow Fsav and energy (or power) consumption Esav (Psav) in the compressor system; —calculating e

Abstract: This application relates to a building energy analysis and management system for measurement and verification of building performance. The system can analyze, optimize, manage, maintain, trouble shoot, and/or modify building systems, such as HVAC systems, in connection with the building energy usage. Measurements may be gathered for one or more HVAC units coupled to pressure independent valves, and sent to one or more Surge Panels that pass data to remote analysis servers, which can receive other system or external data. The analysis servers compare measurements to predicted values and can standardize the predicted values to account for external conditions. The comparison can result in difference values used to generate probable causes and optimization recommendations. The system outputs reports or other data display using a graphical user interface that can be adjusted for an anticipated user.

Abstract: A face shield includes a front surface opposite of a back surface, a shield portion, and a band portion extending from a top side of the shield portion. A plurality of spacing projections extend outward from the back surface of the face shield that are configured to be positioned against a forehead of a wearer.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a roof airbag apparatus for mobility which protects the occupant seated in the cabin in such a manner that the roof airbag is deployed downward from the cabin roof, and safely protects the occupant from impact in such a manner that the occupant is securely restrained by the airbag as the deployment shape of the airbag is maintained.

Abstract: A locking assembly for a door assembly of an agricultural vehicle includes: an actuator that defines an actuator axis and is linearly movable between a first position and a second position and rotatable about the actuator axis between a first locking orientation and a second locking orientation and includes a pair of locking features; a biaser configured to bias the actuator toward the first position; an energizer configured to bias the actuator toward the first locking orientation when the actuator is in the second locking orientation; and a lock configured to engage a second locking feature when the actuator is in the second locking orientation. Linear movement of the actuator from the first position to the second position while the actuator is in the second locking orientation causes the lock to disengage from the second locking feature so the energizer rotates the actuator towards the first locking orientation.

Abstract: A precision forging method includes arranging a metal material in a die cavity so that a distal end surface of a wall portion of the metal material is opposed toward a stopper and a bottom portion of the metal material is opposed toward a punch. Further, the precision forging method includes moving the punch, which includes a cutting blade on an edge of a working end surface, in the die cavity to cut part of the wall portion thickness-wise with the cutting blade and cause shear deformation in the cut portion.
