Abstract

A track shoe for a track-type vehicle. The track shoe includes a base plate and a grouser projecting away from the base plate. A capping surface structure of substantially horseshoe shaped cross-section is disposed across a distal portion of the grouser. The capping surface structure covers portions of a distal edge surface and adjacent lateral surfaces. The capping surface structure is formed from an material characterized by enhanced wear resistance relative to portions of the grouser underlying the capping surface structure.

Extended lifetime railgap switch

Patent Cohn, D B ; Mendoza, P J

In a railgap switch of the type having an elongate blade electrode made of conductive material, an elongate housing made of insulating material for supporting the blade electrode and plate electrode in opposed relation extending in the same direction with the blade centered over the plate and separated therefrom by a gap, and a gas filling the housing and the gap, the gas being selected to breakdown and switch from a highly insulative state to a highly conductive state upon application of a high voltage across the blade and plate electrodes, the improvement is described comprising: forming the blade withmore »« less
A Portable Ultrasonic Nondestructive Inspection System for Metal Matrix Composite Track Shoes

Journal Article Bao, Mi ; Xiaoliang, Zhao ; Tao, Qian ; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

Cast aluminum track shoes reinforced with metal matrix composite (MMC) inserts at heavy loading areas such as center splines and sprocket windows are light in weight, and can resist high temperature and wear. Various defects such as disbonds at the insert-substrate interface, cracks and porosity in the MMC layer, etc. can be introduced during the manufacturing process and/or in service. This paper presents a portable ultrasonic system to automatically inspect tank track shoes for disbond. Ultrasonic pulse/echo inspection has shown good reliability for disbond detection. A prototype sensor array fixture has been designed and fabricated to prove the feasibility. Goodmore »« less

Vibrator for seismic geophysical prospecting

Patent Bird, J M

An improved vibrator system is described for seismic geophysical prospecting, comprising: a vibrator comprising a first part, or dynamic vibrator part (VD) attached to a base plate in contact with the earth and a second part or vibrator stationary part (VS). Sound attenuating ear protection apparatus is described comprising: a pair of air evacuated, sealed chamber members disposably covering the ears of a user to lie between the user eardrums and an ear external source of undesirable sound energy; the air evacuated sealed chamber members each including first and second smooth surface portions with each surface portion having a sphericalmore »« less
Bioremediation of a Large Chlorinated Solvent Plume, Dover AFB, DE

Conference Bloom, Aleisa C

Bioremediation of a Large Chlorinated Solvent Plume, Dover AFB, DE Aleisa Bloom, (Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA) Robert Lyon (bob.lyon@aecom.com), Laurie Stenberg, and Holly Brown (AECOM, Germantown, Maryland, USA) ABSTRACT: Past disposal practices at Dover Air Force Base (AFB), Delaware, created a large solvent plume called Area 6 (about 1 mile long, 2,000 feet wide, and 345 acres). The main contaminants are PCE, TCE, and their degradation products. The remedy is in-situ accelerated anaerobic bioremediation (AAB). AAB started in 2006 and is focusing on source areas and downgradient plume cores. Direct-push injections occurred in source areas wheremore »« less
Industrial cooling tower fan blade having abrasion resistant leading edge

Patent Burdick, L F ; Mayes, S E

This patent describes a glass fiber reinforced, synthetic resin fan blade for large diameter industrial water cooling tower fans, wherein the outer body portion of the blade is constructed of a thermoset resin and has upper and lower surfaces of which a part thereof define an elongated leading which would be subject to abrasion deterioration during use of the blade. This patent describes improvement in an elongated protective outermost sheet member having opposed, longitudinally extending edges and wrapped over at least a part of the longitudinal extent of the leading edge of the blade with one of the longitudinally extendingmore »« less
