  • Publication number: 20260208335
    Abstract: A drive plate assembly for a king pin removal tool comprising a drive member, the drive plate assembly comprises a drive plate and an insert. The drive plate defines a main opening and a flange recess. The insert comprises a shaft portion and a flange portion and defining a drive opening. The insert is arranged such that the shaft portion is within the main opening, the flange portion is within the flange recess, and the drive member is adapted to be threaded into the drive opening. When the drive member is received within the drive opening and axially rotated relative to the insert, a drive force applied by the drive member forces the flange portion of the insert against a surface of the drive plate defining at least a portion of the flange recess.

  • Patent number: 12645004
    Abstract: Systems and methods describe providing deep learning-based detection of gravitational waves. In one embodiment, the system: trains a deep learning classifier using a first set of waveform data from GW detectors; applies the trained deep learning classifier to a second set of waveform data to identify candidate GW signals; generates an SNR ranking statistic from the output of the trained deep learning classifier; determines SNR rankings of the candidate GW signals using the generated SNR ranking statistic; evaluates the compatibility between candidate GW signals from different detectors by comparing arrival times and parameters of the candidate GW signals; estimates a plurality of detection significance scores associated with the candidate GW signals by analyzing clusters of identified candidate GW signals that pass or fail the compatibility evaluation; and outputs at least a subset of the identified GW signals based on their SNR rankings and detection significance scores.

  • Publication number: 20260090604
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an article of footwear having an upper and a sole coupled to the upper. The sole includes an insole for receiving a foot of a wearer and a sole member disposed below the insole to support the foot of the wearer. The sole member includes a web extending along a length of the sole and a plurality of pillars projecting upwardly from the web toward the insole. The plurality of pillars each include a curved sidewall and a lid extending from an upper end of the curved sidewall. The curved sidewall and the lid define a cavity. The web and the plurality of pillars of the sole member are unitary and made of an elastomeric material that allows the pillars to flex or deform at a compressed state and return to an upright position at a relaxed state.

  • Patent number: 12576769
    Abstract: A beverage container holder adapted to be attached to a fuel cap comprises a base, an upper wall, a main passageway, and at least one clear opening. The base is adapted to engage the cap. The upper wall extends from the base and is adapted to engage the beverage container. The main passageway extends through the base and the upper wall and defines a container portion and a cap portion. The at least one clear opening is formed in the upper wall to allow debris within the container portion to be pushed out of the container portion through the at least one clear opening.

  • Publication number: 20260063155
    Abstract: A clip assembly for a displacement system used to displace a rod member from a structural member. The clip assembly comprises a clip body defining a clip channel and at least one detent assembly comprising a detent member and a resilient member. The detent member is supported for movement between an extended position and a retracted position relative to the clip body, and the resilient member configured to bias the detent member from the retracted position towards the extended position. The clip channel is configured to receive at least a portion of the rod member such that, when the detent member is in the extended position, the detent member engages the at least a portion of the rod member to detachably attach the clip body in a desired position relative to the rod member.

  • Publication number: 20260034651
    Abstract: A torque rod disassembly system for removing a tapered bushing assembly comprising a tapered bushing connector having an internal threaded surface from a structural member defining a tapered opening comprising a housing, a bearing washer, a drive sleeve, a drive nut, and a tension bolt. The housing engages structural member and supports the bearing washer. The drive sleeve threadingly supports the drive nut. The tension bolt extends through the drive sleeve to engage the internal threaded surface of the tapered bushing connector. Rotation of the drive nut displaces the drive sleeve, the tension bolt, and the tapered bushing connector such that the tapered bushing connector is removed from the tapered opening in the structural member.

  • Publication number: 20260027683
    Abstract: A bushing assembly displacement system comprises a pull system comprising a guide plate defining a guide edge discontinuity, a push system comprising a guide tube defining a guide surface discontinuity, and a drive system comprising a drive rod. The pull system is configured to be operatively connected to the bushing assembly such that the guide edge discontinuity engages the structural member. The push system is configured to be operatively connected to the bushing assembly such that guide surface discontinuity engages the bushing assembly. The rod is operatively connected to the pull system. Operation of the drive system displaces the drive rod to displace the bushing assembly and the guide plate while the guide tube engages the bushing assembly such that the guide plate and the guide tube maintain the bushing assembly in a desired orientation as the bushing assembly moves within the opening defined by the structural member.
