Abstract: The present disclose describes a fluid isolator mount. The mount provides a long service life under high temperatures and large dynamic displacements. The mount utilizes metallic flexures and dynamic fluid chambers. The mount provides vibration isolation at selected frequencies while precluding damping effects.

Abstract: An engine mount system having failsafe securement points. The engine mount system includes a forward mount carrying a coat hanger shackle having a spherical bearing and a cylindrical bearing. Securement of the engine mount to a support utilizes pins and bolts with a retaining double wrench washer incorporated into the final mounting structure. The engine mount system additionally includes an aft mount.

Abstract: The present invention relates to decoys for simulating the movement of animals on land, air, or water. Embodiments of the invention include a small, enclosed, and portable unit containing a motor, a rechargeable power supply, a timing control mechanism, and a movable portion, such as a spool or a rotating shaft. The movable portion attaches to one or more animal decoys. In exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the movable portion is also controlled by a timing circuit and/or a microcontroller to vary the movement of the one or more animal decoys.

Abstract: The present invention relates to decoys for simulating the movement of animals on land, air, or water. The invention includes a small, enclosed, and portable unit containing a motor, a rechargeable power supply, a timing control mechanism, and a spool attached to a line. The line extends from the unit and attaches to one or more animal decoys and, at the end, to an anchoring mechanism (e.g., an anchor placed in the water or a tether attached to a tree or other stationary support). The anchoring mechanism preferably is attached to the line via a bungee cord or other flexible connection that exhibits elasticity.

Abstract: An optical sub assembly for receiving an optical fiber transmission line for coupling to an optical device, to a receptacle for use in such a sub assembly and to a method of manufacture of such a sub assembly. The optical sub assembly preferably provides electrical isolation between a receptacle having a nose for receiving the optical fiber and a package housing an optical device. The nose houses a ferrule containing a fiber stub which may be optically aligned with an optical device housed in a package before securing the receptacle to the package. The electrical insulation is provided between the nose and the package by a sleeve extending along a middle portion of the ferrule and an insulating portion positioned between the sleeve and the nose.

Abstract: This invention relates to an optical sub assembly for receiving an optical fibre transmission line for coupling to an optical device, to a receptacle for use in such a sub assembly and to a method of manufacture of such a sub assembly. In particular, this invention relates to an optical sub assembly which provides electrical isolation between a receptacle (1) having a nose (8) for receiving the optical fibre and a package (2) housing an optical device (3).

Abstract: Apparatus having automated loading 15, nailing 22, and stacking 24 areas for wood components, wall panels or wall components is described. The apparatus includes a control panel 14 that allows automated selection 94 of the type of sub-component to be handled, the speed 98 at which the nailing and stacking operation is executed, the compression rate 100 in which the operation is executed and provides automated feedback 106 of the progress of the operation. A guide track 30, stationary 26 and powered 28 compression members and side conveyer belts 16 that work in conjunction with upper 18 and side 20 rollers allow for positioning, clamping, and movement of the raw material 70 into the nailing stage 22 of the operation. The rollers allow for the nailing process 22 before being moved to the stacking system 24.
