  • Patent number: 8672579
    Abstract: Expansion joint system of a concrete slab arrangement, comprising an expansion joint reinforcement to be arranged between a first and a second concrete slab (1, 2), the expansion joint reinforcement comprising at least two local dowels (3)transferring loads perpendicular to the slab plane. The dowels comprise a dowel plate (4) and a casing part (5). The dowel plate (4) and the casing part (5) are attached to the concrete slabs on different sides of the joint. The casing part (5) prevents the dowel plate from adhering to the concrete slab and allows the dowel plate (4) to move inside the casing part and thus allows the movements of the slabs (1, 2) in the horizontal direction. The dowels (3) are installed alternately relative to the joint so that the casing parts (5) of the adjacent dowels (3) are always installed on different sides of the joint.

  • Patent number: 7852274
    Abstract: A mobile satellite communication trailer comprising a frame, an antenna assembly coupled to the frame comprising a feed boom, a reflector dish coupled to the feed boom, and at least one bumper coupled to the feed boom intermediate the feed boom and the reflector dish. A shock isolator is positioned intermediate the frame and the feed boom. The mobile satellite system further comprises at least three adjustable stabilizing legs providing rigid support for said antenna assembly when said antenna assembly is in a transmission position, said stabilizing legs being convertible between said transmission position and said transport position, wherein one of said at least three adjustable stabilizing legs is moveably connected to said trailer front portion and at least two of said at least three adjustable stabilizing legs are moveably connected to at least one of said satellite antenna assembly and said trailer frame proximate said satellite antenna assembly.

  • Patent number: 7011730
    Abstract: A method to produce a papermaker's shoe press belt or other industrial process belt and a belt made according to such method. The belt is produced by dispensing a mixture of polymer and staple fiber onto a cylindrical mandrel, by extrusion or by co-extrusion. Preferably, the variation of the concentration and/or orientation of the staple fiber within the polymer is controlled such that the finished belt has desired properties.
