  • Patent number: 9631331
    Abstract: A roadway, guard rail or safety barrier having a post and beam construction wherein the beam is mounted to the post by means of a carriage, the beam being secured to the carriage by a securement means, the carriage being adapted to travel longitudinally relative to the post in the event of a collision, the post further including at least one carriage support means, and one or more engagement means on an outer face of the post, the engagement means being adapted to be engaged by the securement means to provide resistance to movement of the carriage with respect to the post, wherein the carriage is sized and shaped so as to not engage or to minimize engagement with the engagement means during the movement.

  • Publication number: 20150106144
    Abstract: A field crew management system receives status reports at a management server from a plurality of field devices. The status reports can include information related to a work order associated with each field device. The status reports can be regularly updated during operational time of each work order. Once the status reports are received at the management server, a work order tracking sheet is populated with the information contained in the status reports. Progress reports based upon the work order tracking sheet are then generated for a requesting party at specified time interval and sent to the requesting party.

  • Patent number: 6346211
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for bending thermoplastic tube in which a pre-heated region of the tube is conformed to a required bend configuration while supported internally and externally to prevent the tube wall collapsing. The external support is provided by relatively movable formers which enclose a section of the tube at the point where the bending force is applied and this enclosed section moves progressively along the heated region as the bend is developed by the relative movement of the formers. The internal support is provided by fluid pressure higher than atmospheric pressure within the tube during the forming operation. Multiple bends can be formed sequentially and/or siitultateously.
