  • Variable moment vibratory systems and methods
    Patent number: 12606972
    Abstract: A coupler system for a vibratory system comprising an eccentric system comprising at least one transfer gear operatively connected to at least upper and lower eccentric members, the coupler system comprising a coupler housing defining a coupler axis, at least one drive rack supported for linear movement within the coupler housing, a coupler drive system for causing linear movement of the at least one drive rack within the coupler housing, at least one coupler gear adapted to engage the at least one transfer gear, and at least one pinion assembly operatively connected between the at least one drive rack and the at least one coupler gear. Linear movement of the at least one drive rack causes rotation of the at least one coupler gear around the coupler axis to alter an angular relationship of the upper and lower eccentric members.

  • Systems and methods for connecting a structural member to a pile
    Patent number: 10760602
    Abstract: A connecting system for connecting a pile to a structural member has a core portion, a first interface portion, and a second interface portion. The core portion defines a system axis. The first interface portion defines a reference plane and is adapted to be connected to the core portion and the structural member. The second interface portion is adapted to be connected to the core portion and the pile. The second interface portion fixes a position of the system axis relative to the pile. The core portion allows adjustment of a position of the reference plane relative to the system axis.
