Abstract: A tensioner assembly for an engine timing drive includes a tensioner with a tensioner body having a fastener opening and defining a cavity with a plunger opening. A plunger is disposed in the cavity and a removable pin restrains the plunger in the cavity. The plunger is configured to be biased out of the plunger opening when the pin is removed. A protuberance extends outward from the tensioner body and is adapted to receive an applied torque. The tensioner body is configured to pivot about a center axis of the fastener opening in response to a predetermined torque applied to the protuberance. A method of assembling an engine timing drive includes applying a predetermined torque to a protuberance of a tensioner that is pivotably mounted to a cylinder block to rotate the tensioner toward a rotatable device such that the tensioner applies a predetermined load to the rotatable device.

Abstract: Processes for forming a stabilized liquid biochemical agricultural product containing an organic solvent extract of Reynoutria sachalinensis comprising subjecting an organic solvent extract of dried particulate Reynoutria sachalinensis to first and second extract concentration stages, and wherein prior to said second extract concentration stage, the concentrated extract from said first extract concentration stage is mixed with a liquid stabilizer, most preferably a liquid nitrogen-containing fertilizer.

Abstract: An ejecting exhaust nozzle in a gas turbine engine includes a convergent section, a divergent section, extending downstream from the convergent section, and an ejector for ejecting an airflow into the core airflow is fed by a boost pump. The boost pump includes a flow mixer with a boost plane wherein a fan airflow is injected into a ram airflow and then mixed in a mixing section extending downstream from the boost plane. Varying the fan airflow to boost the ram airflow to control a boosted ram airflow pressure allows ejector operation throughout the flight envelope of the gas turbine engine.
