  • Method and system for information communication between potential positionees and positionors
    Publication number: 20030009437
    Abstract: A computer program and method are disclosed for matching a potential positionee and potential positionor. The potential positionee is provided with a positionee information entry interface for entering positionee information comprising the potential positionee's actual qualifications. The positionee information is stored in a database. Matching is accomplished by providing the potential positionor with a positionor information entry interface for electronically entering positionor information comprising at least one target qualification for a position, the positionor information being stored in the database. Matching is based on determining whether the positionee information correlates with the positionor information. A correlated information list is created. The correlated information is presented for review. Code sections of the computer program preferably accomplish these and other tasks.

  • Tie rod assembly for vehicle steering linkages
    Patent number: 5603583
    Abstract: An adjustable tie rod assembly for a vehicle steering system (10) comprises first and second rod members (22, 24) having left hand and right hand threaded portions (30, 34), respectively. A tubular sleeve (20) includes first and second threaded portions (38, 40) for threadably receiving the threaded portions (30, 34) of the first and second rods (22, 24), respectively. A longitudinal slot (46) extends along the length of sleeve (20), but stops short of the distal ends (37, 39) of sleeve (20). The sleeve (20) further includes first and second radially aligned apertures (56, 58). A fastener means (26) extends through the apertures (56, 58) and, when tightened, applies compressive force on the engaged threads of the sleeve (20) and the rod members (22, 24) to restrict relative rotation of the rod members (22, 24) and the sleeve (20).

  • Boom mounting assembly
    Patent number: 4643358
    Abstract: A mechanism for adjusting the height and level of a movable boom is disclosed. This mechanism includes a carrier member mountable for vertical pivotal movement about one end thereof, and a first actuator is provided for controlling the movement and position of the carrier member. A unitary member for supporting the boom in a cantilevered manner is also provided. The unitary support member is connected at the distal end of the carrier member for vertical pivotal movement. Finally, a second actuator is provided for controlling the vertical movement of the support member and boom relative to the carrier member, with the second actuator controlling the vertical level of the boom and the first actuator controlling the vertical height of the boom.
