Abstract: A method for installing or removing a tension-leg platform with at least three tendon porches, and its tendons, the method includes grasping each of three or more extended tendons by a respective one jacking tool on one tendon porch, wherein the platform is being stabilized by at least three jacking tools each applying tension on the respective extended tendon. Extended tendons are created by connecting one or more tendon extension piece end-to-end from a tendon.

Abstract: An electronic control system controls operation of a vehicle system by selectably controlling the vehicle system using engine start-stop controls in response to one or more engine start-stop conditions being met, controlling the vehicle system using neutral-at-stop controls in response to one or more neutral-at-stop conditions being met, and controlling the vehicle system using cylinder deactivation controls in response to the one or more neutral-at-stop conditions not being met.

Abstract: A vehicle system includes an engine, a transmission including a torque converter, a clutch configured to selectably couple and decouple the torque converter, and a gearset, a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) exhaust aftertreatment system. An electronic control system may be operatively coupled with the engine, the electronically controllable clutch, and the SCR exhaust aftertreatment system. The electronic control system is configured to evaluate whether an SCR catalyst temperature satisfies at least one minimum temperature criterion, in response to the SCR catalyst temperature satisfying the minimum temperature criterion, permit a neutral at stop operation wherein the electronically controllable clutch is controlled to selectably decouple the torque converter and the one or more gears at least in part in response to the vehicle system being in a stopped state, and in response to the SCR catalyst temperature not satisfying the minimum temperature criterion, prevent the neutral at stop operation.

Abstract: A low-volume non-rising stem gate valve comprising a hollow stem, planetary roller screw and anti-rotation rods. The anti-rotation rods isolate the torque force and maintain the alignment of the planetary roller screw with the stem and the screw shaft, thus reducing the amount of material necessary to support ordinary operational forces.
