Fixed-tilt solar arrays constructed from screw anchors. In some cases, purlins are attached directly to truss legs. In others, they are attached to truss caps joining the free end of each truss leg. In still further ones, screw anchors are driven in rows and interconnected by a pair of hinged members, one of which provides a mounting plane for solar panels. Each screw anchor may serve as a connection point for the trailing hinged member of the first foundation and the leading hinged member of the next foundation. In still further cases, a hinged truss cap may be used to accommodate different tilt angles with the same foundation.

The present invention provides an embankment wall structure (1000) comprising a plurality of facing panels (100) extending upwardly from a support surface and adapted to be stacked alongside in a horizontal as well as vertical direction. The plurality of facing panels (100) includes a plurality of monolithic facing panels (120), a plurality of first changer panels (140), a plurality of second changer panels (160), and a plurality of standard facing panels (180). Each monolithic facing panel (120) is stacked side by side with each first changer panel (140) at a desired stretch, and each second changer panel (160) is stacked adjacent to one monolithic facing panel (120) and opposite to one first changer panel (140), at a desired position in a top layer (200) of the wall (1000). Further, each of the uppermost standard facing panels (180) is in contact with either of the panels or combinations thereof.

A process for manufacturing corrosion resistant metal components is disclosed. The process comprises abrasive blasting of a silicon-containing steel substrate followed by hot dip galvanizing, a second abrasive blasting process, treating with a mineral acid, and coating with a polymeric coating. The resulting corrosion resistance is enhanced.

A combination of a plate and lateral stabilizers is provided. The present invention's main use is in conjunction with a regular fence post spike to support a fence installation so as to add strength against high wind or when the fence is installed in soggy alluvial soils, but the same invention can also be used on sign posts, telephone posts and the likes. This is accomplished by the shape of the device transferring lateral wind forces into vertical downward force to the ground. The lateral stabilizer are so efficient that it can even support a surface mounted post that has no ground embedded spike. The present invention could even allow for a post to simply rest on the ground without any in ground spike, all depending upon the intended use of the post.

An A-frame-shaped truss foundation system for a single-axis tracker with a bearing assembly sitting atop a pair of adjacent angled truss legs joined together with an adapter so that the axis of rotation of the tracker is aligned with a work point of the A-frame. Several such foundation systems are arranged along a North-South row to support a tracker torque tube.

A locking dog assembly including a body including inner cavity with a lower opening, a first locking dog at least partially extending through a first side of the body and displaceable into and out of the inner cavity, a second locking dog at least partially extending through a second side of the body, opposite the first side, and displaceable into and out of the inner cavity, and a mechanism for simultaneous displacement of the first and second locking dogs with mechanical advantage.
