  • Patent number: 12371894
    Abstract: A construction hanger having two nested clamping frames that slide relative to each other in a disengaged condition to selectively define a throat distance between two stop edges provided by the two nested clamping frames, respectively. An engageable fastener enables a user to set and secure a desired throat distance by way of an engageable fastener that directly connects the two nested clamping frames in an engaged condition. A rod nut may be sandwiched between the two nested clamping frames so that a threaded rod can engage and thereby move the construction hanger to a desired location along a joist or beam.

  • Publication number: 20070204603
    Abstract: Actuator control system and method comprising an electric motor driving a hydraulic pump in fluid delivery communication with a source of hydraulic fluid; a variable speed controller operatively coupled to the motor for driving the pump at variable speeds; an external hydraulic actuator in fluid delivery communication with the pump for receiving pressurized fluid flow from the pump; and a feedback loop operatively coupled from the motor to the controller for providing feedback signals correlative to a pressure of the pressurized fluid flow through the driven pump for driving the external hydraulic actuator in response to the feedback signals for providing electronic velocity and force control of actuation of the external hydraulic actuator. The actuator control system and method can operate on one or many high-pressure hydraulic linear and/or rotary actuators on different pieces of hydraulically driven equipment and with different velocity requirements actuating in different directions.
