Internally supported power track

A boom assembly for a lift device includes a plurality of telescoping boom sections. The plurality of telescoping boom sections include a base boom section, a mid boom section, and a fly boom section. The plurality of telescoping boom sections define an inner volume. The boom assembly also includes a push tube coupled to the base boom section and a support member positioned within the inner volume. The support member includes sidewalls having an inner surface and an outer surface. The boom assembly also includes a power track positioned within the inner volume that includes a plurality of movable links, a first supported portion that interfaces with at least one of the inner surface of the support member and a surface of the push tube, and a second supported portion that interfaces with the outer surface of the support member.

Cable routing for movable trays

Cable-routing systems can be provided for a tray configured for movement between an extended position and a stowed position. The cable-routing system can include a biasing mechanism and a pivot. The pivot can receive a bend of a cable about the pivot. The pivot can be coupled with the biasing mechanism. Movement of the tray toward the extended position can pull the cable away from a stored state against a biasing force of the biasing mechanism. The cable can be biased into the stored state by the biasing force of the biasing mechanism when the tray is in or moved toward the stowed position.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMPROVING DEFORMABILITY OF BURIED PIPELINES
20170247852 · 2017-08-31 ·

A system is provided that increases the deformability of buried pipelines to accommodate combinations of vertical, lateral and longitudinal displacements and subsequent curvatures caused by ground movements. Installation of this system prevents concentration of deformations which may cause catastrophic failures such as buckling, yielding, rupture, and weld failures. The assembly includes an element provided adjacent a pipeline and collapsible in two orthogonal directions; one, the longitudinal direction of the pipe, and two, a direction of expected lateral movement of the pipe. The collapsible element is configured to resist soil pressure in a direction orthogonal to the first two directions, and further provided is a supporting backing element adjacent an end of the collapsible element opposed to the pipeline, to prevent exposure of the collapsible element to soil pressure in one of the two orthogonal collapsible directions. The size and configuration of the installation depends on the soil and pipe properties, and type/magnitude of expected displacements.

SERVER CABLE MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE

A server cable management structure includes a first arm member and a second arm member respectively pivotally coupled to the outer and inner sliding rails of a sliding rail assembly which is connected to a drawer of a server. An intermediate arm member is pivotally coupled between the first and second arm members, and a sliding bar is slidably coupled to the first arm member, with at least one spring member connected between the first arm member and the sliding bar, and a connection frame connected to the sliding bar and pivotally connected to the outer sliding rail. The inner sliding rail is movable outward a first distance when the first arm member is fully extended outward relative to the second arm member, and outward a further distance while stretching the at least one spring member when the sliding bar is fully extended outward relative to the first arm member.
