  • Publication number: 20060032395
    Abstract: Disclosed is a module (10) for the driveway of a magnetically levitated vehicle. Said module (10) comprises functional surfaces (17, 18, 19) in the form of at least one laterally guiding assembly surface, one gliding assembly surface, and one stator pack assembly surface. The functional surfaces (17, 18, 19) are embodied on oversized pieces of equipment (14, 15, 16) which are made of steel, are connected in a fixed manner to the module (10), and are machined down in a cutting manner to a predefined set point dimension. Also disclosed are a driveway which comprises such modules and a method for producing said modules (10). The inventive method includes a step in which the modules are twisted in an elastic manner prior to being fixed to the beams in order to create changes in the lateral inclination.

  • Patent number: 5414885
    Abstract: A transportable bridge having longitudinal sides, includes plural bridge sections connected in series and presenting first and last bridge sections in the series. Each said bridge section in the series includes a deck slab extending across a width of the bridge and having front and rear transverse ends, and an inverted triangular truss on each longitudinal side of the bridge. Each truss has a lower corner portion and an oppositely disposed top beam. The lower corner portion of the truss is connected to the rear transverse end of the deck slab and additionally to the front transverse end of the deck slab of an adjacent following bridge section in the series of bridge sections. The top beam of the truss of the bridge section is connected to the top beam of the adjacent following bridge section thus forming a trough-shaped bridge having a lateral truss structure. A further deck slab is associated with the last bridge section.
