  • Publication number: 20150292172
    Abstract: A shoreline stabilization system and method are provided, comprising one or more base layers of a non-woven plastic matrix positioned on a shoreline, wherein the base layer is at least partially submerged in the water. A second layer of non-woven plastic matrix positioned on top of the base layer, wherein the second layer is at least partially submerged in the water, and wherein the second layer is pre-planted with one or more selected plants such as smooth cord grass (Spartina alterniflora), seashore paspalum (Paspalum vaginatum), torpedo grass (Panicum repens), and/or bull rush (genus Scirpus). Other selected plants are inserted into holes in the base layer such as bunchgrass, tussock, and/or sunshine vetivergrass (Chrysopgon zizanioides). The base layer and the second layer are anchored to the shoreline by a plurality of anchors sufficient to cause the base layer to conform to the shoreline.

  • Publication number: 20150233460
    Abstract: A driven gear includes a radially outwardly extending flange. The radially outwardly extending flange extends along an axial distance defined along a center axis of the flange. The flange merges into a generally conical portion which, in turn, extends radially inwardly to a hub. The hub extends to a remote end. A first distance defined between the remote end of the hub and an end of the flange faces the remote end. A second distance is defined between ends of the flange, with gear teeth formed at an outer periphery. A ratio of the first distance to the second distance is between 2.54 and 2.82. An oil pump, a rotating portion for an electrical generator, and a generator are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8997493
    Abstract: A generator includes a main cavity and a shaft located in the main cavity. The shaft is configured to be connected to an auxiliary power unit (APU) and rotated by the APU. The generator is configured to generate power based on the rotation of the shaft. A fluid system is configured to receive a fluid from the APU, flow the fluid through the main cavity and return the fluid to the APU through a fluid scavenge channel. A filter is configured to filter the fluid from the main cavity to the fluid scavenge channel and a sensor is configured to detect a characteristic of the fluid at the filter.

  • Patent number: 4110418
    Abstract: The packing of the present invention is a continuous coil which has at least three turns, and preferably about six turns. Each turn has at least three sides which preferably are generally curved and has a generally rounded vertex between each pair of adjacent sides. Each turn of the packing is rotatably offset at least about 15.degree., and preferably between about 15.degree. and 20.degree., relative to each adjacent turn of the packing. The coil packing preferably is generally cylindrical in cross-section, and defines a generally cylindrical passage which extends axially through the coil packing.
