Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include an elongated member, a mounting assembly, and a support member. The mounting assembly may include an extension section having a first end and a second end and a first connection member connected to the first end of the extension section and having a first opening, in which the elongated member may extend through the first opening in the first connection member, and in which the first connection member may be slidable along a length of the elongated member and rotatable about a longitudinal axis of the elongated member. The mounting assembly may also include a second connection member connected the second end of the extension section and having a second opening, in which the support member may extend through the second opening.

Abstract: In an example, an adaptor for a lift jack may include a first section having an opening to receive a ring attached to a vehicle and a second section connected to the first section, in which the second section includes a space to receive a runner support of a lift jack runner. The adaptor may also include a locking hook rotatably connected to the second section, in which the locking hook is to latch onto the ring when the runner support is inserted into the space in the second section.

Abstract: In an example, an adaptor for a lift jack may include a pair of coextensive segments having a pair of openings at a first end, and defining a space to receive a portion of a lift jack at a second end. The adaptor may also include a coupling pin that is to be inserted through the pair of openings to secure the adaptor to a vehicle. The second end of the coextensive segments may have a notch on each segment to receive the portion of the lift jack.

Abstract: A high strength aluminum alloy is suitable for ultra thick gauge wrought product. The alloy can have 6 to 8 wt % zinc, 1 to 2 wt % magnesium, and dispersoid forming elements such as Zr, Mn, Cr, Ti, and/or Sc with the balance made of aluminum and incidental elements and/or impurities. The alloy is suitable for many uses, including in molds for injection-molded plastics.

Abstract: It has been commonly believed that very thick gauge high strength aluminum alloy product such as AA2139 plate cannot be formed to the required sharp angles to form the highly protective underbody armor for the MRAP vehicles. The present process and method of manufacture provides a means for strategically combining the metallurgical process of manufacturing high strength aluminum alloys and the forming process of V shaped hull to improve the formability of the very thick gauge high strength alloy product so much that even the very thick gauge (thicker than 1 inch) plate can be formed to severe forming angles. This combined process allowed successful manufacturing of high performance V shaped hulls for the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles.
