F16L3/01
Workstation having automated and powered height, depth and rotational adjusters
A workstation is disclosed including a tabletop, a frame, a support coupled to the tabletop and the frame for supporting the tabletop vertically above the frame, and a powered rotator coupled to the frame. The powered rotator may be configured to move the support and the tabletop horizontally along an arcuate path with respect to a user position. The user position and a center of curvature of the arcuate path may each be disposed away from a forward edge of the tabletop. A method of moving a tabletop of a workstation is also disclosed.
Cable management assembly and method
A cable management assembly configured for selective attachment to an electrified vehicle according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a cable management structure, and an electromagnet configured to be selectively activated to attach the cable management structure to an exterior of the electrified vehicle. A theft prevention feature and a method are also disclosed.

CABLE HANDLING SYSTEM FOR LONGWALL MINING MACHINES
A cable handling system for a longwall mining machine is disclosed. The longwall mining machine includes a shearer configured to move along a pan line to mine material along a mine face. The cable handling system includes a service line configured to carry one or more supply lines to the shearer for facilitating shearer operation. Further, a plurality of interconnected trays accommodates the service line. Moreover, a controller is configured to determine a profile of the pan line; detect one or more parameters associated with the service line in relation to the profile of the pan line; and determine a likelihood of at least a portion of the service line dislodging from the plurality of interconnected trays based on the one or more parameters exceeding a predefined threshold.
IN-LINE CONNECTOR LOCKING SYSTEM
An in-line connector locking system includes an elongated, generally hollow first sleeve member having an open first end, a closed second end and a plurality of threaded elements positioned along the outside surface. The system also includes an elongated, generally hollow second sleeve member having an open first end, a closed second end and a plurality of complementary threaded elements located along the length of the hollow interior surface. The first and second sleeve members are removably secured together via a twisting motion and encompass an in-line connector. A mounting clip is provided for securing the first sleeve, second sleeve and in-line connector to an external structure.

AIRCRAFT CABLE ROUTING SYSTEM AND METHOD OF INSTALLATION THEREOF
A cable routing system is disclosed including a routing fixture and an exit fitting. The routing fixture defines a channel for a cable. The channel is engaged by the exit fitting and a cable in the channels exits through an exit channel defined by the exit fitting. The exit channel is directed away from the channel in the routing fixture. The resulting assembly allows low profile cable runs that can conform to a structural surface and in which cables can be broken out easily, without a requirement to cut the cable. A clamp may be provided to further secure the exit fitting to the routing fixture. A method of installation involves installing a cable into a routing channel before installing the exit fitting. The cable routing system can be used in an aircraft, including space constrained areas such as within an aircraft wing.
