Abstract: A hoist for lifting at least a portion of a gas engine assembly includes a support member including an upper portion, a lower portion, and a connecting portion extending therebetween. The hoist also includes an elongate member coupled to the lower portion of the support member and extending substantially orthogonally to the lower portion, and at least one bracket slidably engaged with the elongate member and axially translatable along a length of the elongate member. In addition, the hoist includes a plurality of linkage members coupled to the at least one bracket, where each linkage member of the plurality of linkage members is configured to attach to at least a portion of the gas engine assembly.

Abstract: A system includes a bleed system configured to direct a bleed flow from a compressor section to an exhaust section of a gas turbine engine. The bleed system includes a first bleed conduit section configured to couple to the compressor section, a second bleed conduit section configured to couple to the exhaust section, and a first rotatable joint coupling together adjacent conduits of the first and second bleed conduit sections. The second bleed conduit section has components configured to rotate between a plurality of configurations relative to the first bleed conduit section and the compressor section via the first rotatable joint. The plurality of orientations corresponds to a plurality of exhaust outlet orientations of the exhaust section, and the components of the second bleed conduit section are the same in each orientation.

Abstract: A restraint assembly includes a plurality of tensile restraints and a plurality of restraints. Each tensile restraint of the plurality of tensile restraints is configured to couple to a respective anchor plate of a plurality of anchor plates disposed on one or more foundations, and a mobile system. The mobile system is disposed on the one or more foundations. Each restraint includes a rigid element configured to couple to a respective anchor plate of the plurality of anchor plates, and to interface with or couple to a respective location on the mobile system.

Abstract: A system includes a bleed system that directs a bleed flow form a high pressure region to a low pressure region. The bleed system includes a bleed conduit that includes an inlet coupled to the high pressure region. The bleed system also includes an outlet that provides the bleed flow into the low pressure region. The bleed conduit it slideably coupled to a housing that defines the low pressure region.

Abstract: A fully rotatable guard assembly (200) for use with a tool having a rotating disc includes at least one rotatable bearing (215, 223) for positioning on a shaft behind a rotating disc (207). A shield (203) works with the rotatable bearing (215, 223) for preventing sparks or other debris from being projected toward a user. A brake lever (241) is attached to the shield (203) for allowing the user to position the shield (203) at a predetermined position in relation to the rotating disc. The shield (203) is configured to cover approximately one-half (½) of the rotating disc (207) such that the position of the shield (203) can be easily rotated through use of the brake lever (241) for enabling the user to move the shield (203) such that the rotating disc (207) can access a workpiece.

Abstract: A heated freeze free valve (FFV) for use in oil and gas applications includes a body having a first port, second port and third port. A valve for controlling the flow of fluids moving through the body. One or more pin heaters are positioned within a heater block that projects to a side of the body for heating the body for preventing ice blockages therein during pressure changes within the body. Separately a controllable thermostat is connected to the pin heater for maintaining the heater at a fixed temperature for preventing ice blockages.

A shield (203) works with the rotatable bearing (215, 223) for preventing sparks or other debris from being projected toward a user. A brake lever (241) is attached to the shield (203) for allowing the user to position the shield (203) at a predetermined position in relation to the rotating disc. The shield (203) is configured to cover approximately one-half (1/2) of the rotating disc (207) such that the position of the shield (203) can be easily rotated through use of the brake lever (241) for enabling the user to move the shield (203) such that the rotating disc (207) can access a workpiece.

Abstract: Business rules may be harvested from software using automated processes and used in developing new computer software. Automated harvesting may speed up development, reduce cost, and decrease human error during software development. Harvesting the business rules from computer software may also allow business analysts to verify and update business rules. The business rules may be harvested by parsing existing source code into abstract syntax trees (ASTs). The source ASTs may then be transformed into target ASTs corresponding to a programming language different from the existing source code. Those target ASTs may then be recomposed into output source code of the different programming language.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for analyzing and converting legacy software systems. The system and method of the invention involves a multi-task process including preparing an overview characterization of the software application; parsing the source code of said software application; generating business process models; identifying business rules from said business process models; generating a plurality of UML models; identifying a set of modernization requirements; performing a gap analysis; and converting said legacy software application into a target application meeting said set of modernization requirements.
