Abstract: A liner plate for a work machine has a frame with a frame surface and an axle opening, and a guard member at least partially disposed above the axle opening. The guard member has a lower face, a region of the frame surface and a region of the lower face define a volume. The liner plate includes a body portion defining an upper surface and a lower surface opposite to the upper surface. The body portion defines a first side surface and a second side surface. The body portion is adapted to be coupled to the frame surface proximate the first side surface. The body portion is adapted to be coupled to the guard member proximate the second side surface. Further, upon coupling of the body portion to the frame surface and the guard member, the body portion prevents at least some debris from entering the volume.

Abstract: A barrier for arresting a vehicle. The barrier includes a net spanning an area through which the vehicle may pass, an anchor coupled to the net, a support arm arranged on one side of the area through which the vehicle may pass, a raising/lowering mechanism for raising and lowering the support arm, and a release mechanism arranged on the support arm, the release mechanism having an upper and a lower protrusion forming an interior space to accommodate a member coupled to the net, and the member and the release mechanism become uncoupled upon application to the net of at least a predetermined threshold force.

Abstract: Decorative or protective appliqués' or trim panels having a wide range of decorative patterns may be formed by injection molding a backing layer behind and a transparent outer layer on the top surface of a thin foil, film, fabric or veneer. Use of multiple layers of decorative film, transparent plastic and colored/opaque plastic is also disclosed to provide distinguishing visual effects. The appliqués and trim panels may be backlighted or edge-lighted selectively by providing a light source behind or optically coupled to a runner molded as part of the transparent outer layer.

Abstract: An anchor for use with a vehicle restraining system. In one aspect, the anchor may include a matrix of members, where the matrix is of sufficient size to accommodate a vehicle on top thereof, and one or more connection members, where each of the one or more connection members is joined at one end to the matrix and each of the one or more connection members is joined at another end to a connector.

Abstract: A motor driven vertically adjustable work surface or desk which is optimized to support a substantial load of equipment cantilevered toward the front of the surface. The work surface is supported by a pair of motor driven telescoping legs having internal rolling bearings and rack and pinion drive arranged to eliminate sliding friction and maintain smooth motion. The telescoping legs are mounted toward the rear of the work surface and supported on a base or wall so as to provide maximum clearance under the front of the desk to accommodate wheelchairs and the like.
