Abstract: The present disclosure provides a cargo carrier system that is modular and can be arranged for a variety of applications, accessories, and cargo. The cargo carrier system has a modular base with a frame and a plurality of receptacles located within the frame configured to receive attachments. The base may have a rectangular frame coupled to a substantially flat top surface. Different components may be coupled to the frame by using standardized coupling attachments, thereby forming a highly customizable and modular system. Removable rails and clamping devices may be coupled to the base in a specific configuration and may be arranged based on the cargo being carried. A latching system couples the rails and other accessories to the base, as well as the cargo within the modular carrier system.

Abstract: An engine roller lifter for use in a leak-valvetrain of an internal combustion engine includes a body, a roller and an anti-rotation plug. The body includes an outer peripheral surface configured for sliding movement in a bore provided in the engine. The bore is supplied oil by an oil passage communicating therewith. The body defines an opening. The roller bearing is rotatably mounted to the body and is configured for rolling contact with an engine camshaft. The anti-rotation plug is received at the opening and has a plug body including an anti-rotation protrusion that extends radially beyond an outer peripheral surface of the plug body. The anti-rotation plug can be staked into the opening of the body.

Abstract: A valve train assembly having a valve train carrier including a body having a cartridge cavity formed in the body, a hydraulic lash adjuster adjustment (HLA) assembly, and a cartridge removably disposed in the cartridge cavity. The cartridge includes a main body defining an inner bore, wherein the HLA assembly is disposed in the inner bore, and the cartridge is sized and shaped for insertion into the cartridge cavity formed in an underside of the valve train carrier. The cartridge is configured to have a valve train lash set prior to insertion into the cartridge cavity. A rocker arm assembly includes a body configured to engage the hydraulic lash adjustment (HLA) assembly, an end having a socket formed therein, and an e-foot extending through the socket and coupled to the end, the e-foot configured to maintain substantially flat contact with a top surface of an engine valve.

Abstract: A wall mount trailer hitch for securing a trailer in a substantially flat position when not in use and related systems and methods are disclosed. The wall mount trailer hitch includes a planar base plate member having a means for securing the base plate member to a wall. The wall mount trailer hitch further includes a hitch receiver member projecting outward from the base plate member and away from the wall. The hitch receiver can be engaged with a hitch member, such as a ball mount insert, a pintle mount or other hitch that can be mated with the coupling device of a trailer. The wall mount trailer hitch can be vertically positioned to secure a trailer, and in particular a single-axle trailer, in a substantially level position.

Abstract: Various embodiments of an invention regarding universal fence sections are described including a specially shaped fence section connector that may act as an elbow and/or a T-member, a universal fence section kit with parts for assembling a universal fence section including a specially shaped fence section connector, and a universal fence section assembled using a specially shaped fence section connector.

Abstract: An antenna mount is provided with a bracket with an azimuth slot, an azimuth pivot hole and a boss hole. An azimuth adjuster with an extension portion passes through a boss seated in the boss hole. An offset portion of the azimuth adjuster has an azimuth fastener aperture spaced apart from a longitudinal axis of the extension portion. An azimuth fastener passes through the base, the azimuth slot and the azimuth fastener aperture. An azimuth pivot fastener passes through the base and the azimuth pivot hole. The azimuth slot is provided as an arc segment with a center point at the azimuth pivot hole. Adjustment of a longitudinal position along the extension portion of an interconnection between the boss and the extension portion drives the azimuth fastener within the azimuth slot to pivot the base about the azimuth pivot hole with respect to the bracket.

Abstract: A cam buckle assembly for cargo and other items that responds elastically to the forces acting on the cam buckle assembly thereby preventing the tied-down item from escaping its restraints. The cam buckle assembly does not over-stress the item being tied-down by providing an adjustable elastic member that can be adapted to the tie-down requirements of the cargo.

The substantially vertical right wall has a top edge and a bottom connected to the right bottom portion of the V-shaped bottom.

Abstract: Described is a ratchet strap with a free end securing system. The ratchet strap has a strap with an attachment end and a free end and a strap winding shaft which is capable of receiving the free end in a wrapped relationship. A ratchet mechanism is included for simultaneously shortening the attachment end and the free end wherein the free end is drawn from the wrapped relationship with the strap winding shaft.

Abstract: Triple drain apparatus for an aquaculture system tank for reducing water input requirements and minimizing breakdown of solids whereby the solids are larger and more concentrated when removed from a solids settling device. Water flow is split by the apparatus into a side box fluid stream which flows into a side box coupled to the tank, and both a clean fluid stream and a high solids fluid stream which flow into a center drain. The center drain comprises a central stand pipe coupled to a clean water outlet, a sump coupled to a high solids fluid outlet and a collection plate separating the tank and the sump. The center drain may include a mortality trap coupled to a mortality outlet and the sump, whereby the collection plate separates the mortality trap from the sump, to provide means for easily removing dead fishes and large debris from the tank.
