Title: Frame or subframe for tractor-trailers
Inventor: RAMSEY JOHN
IPC: B62D21/00
Filed: 2006-01-27
Abstract: A frame or subframe for a tractor-trailer for supporting one or more axle/suspension systems includes a pair of spaced-apart, parallel, elongated, and longitudinally extending main members. At least one cross member structure extends between and is connected to the longitudinal main members using structural nodes. A bonding adhesive, or other suitable means of attachment, connects the cross member structure and the structural nodes to one another and to the main members. The structural nodes distribute loads encountered during vehicle operation generally over a relatively large area thereby generally reducing the concentration of such loadings at the connections, and assist in generally evenly distributing loads between the cross member structure and the main members to effectively react lateral, longitudinal, vertical, and racking loads. The combination of greater load distribution and reduced loading concentrations allows the structure to be constructed from lighter weight materials.

Inventor: LEWIS LEIF
IPC: F16D13/52
Filed: 2006-04-07
Abstract: A multi-plate clutch includes a plurality of friction plates that are rotationally coupled to a concentric shell wherein keys radially extending from each friction plate are slidably received in axial channels formed in the interior surface of the shell. The keys of all but one of the friction plates are dimensioned to have a relatively loose fit in the channels while the keys on a single friction plate are dimensioned to have a substantially tighter fit in the channels. This has a stabilizing effect on the entire stack without impeding the operation of the clutch. Rotational stabilization of the plates serves to dampen the impact of the edge of each of the keys of each of the plates against the channel sidewall during abrupt load changes in the drivetrain to thereby reduce wear and the generation of noise.

Title: Electrochemical fatigue sensor system and methods
Inventor: BERKS WILLIAM I
IPC: G01M99/00
Filed: 2006-05-16
Abstract: A method and an electrochemical sensor device for determining a fatigue status of a growing crack in a substrate. The device includes an electrode formed from a stainless steel mesh and having a bottom surface that is coated with an adhesive layer and has a release paper attached to the adhesive layer. The adhesive layer is exposed through separation of the release paper from the adhesive layer. Contacting the adhesive layer to the substrate secures the device to the substrate and forms a cavity that contains an electrolyte and is partially bound by the substrate. The adhesive seals the bottom surface of the device to the substrate in order to prevent leakage of electrolyte from the cavity. When the substrate is subjected to cyclic loading, the fatigue status of the growing crack in the substrate is determined in accordance with a measured current between the reference electrode and the substrate.
