Apparatus and Method for Repairing the Junction of a Sewer Main and Lateral Pipe
The present invention is an improved method and assembly for repairing a pipe or the junction of two pipes, such as sewer pipes. The assembly includes a launcher device having a launcher device body, a launcher device opening disposed on the launcher device body, and a main bladder substantially surrounding the launcher device body. The main bladder includes an opening that substantially aligns with the launcher device opening. The assembly further includes an absorbent liner and a lateral bladder having a tubular lateral bladder body portion and a flange portion. The flange portion of the lateral bladder is attached to the exterior of the launcher device body. A method of using the assembly includes impregnating the liner with resinous material; inserting at least a portion of the liner into the lateral bladder; inflating the bladders; pressing the liner against the pipe; and allowing the resinous material to cure and harden.
Maintenance method for gas turbine
An exhaust-side journal bearing for supporting a gas turbine rotor is disposed inside a bearing box. The bearing box is supported by a strut which extends inward from an exhaust casing, and a seal ring having an annular inner peripheral end is disposed on the bearing box. Executed during a maintenance work are: a bearing adjustment step of displacing a bearing surface of the journal bearing relative to the bearing box in a perpendicular direction perpendicular to the axial direction; and a seal ring adjustment step of displacing the inner peripheral end of the seal ring relative to the bearing box in accordance with the direction of displacement and the amount of displacement of the bearing surface.

Assembly system for monitoring proper fastening of an article of assembly at more than one location
A more reliable and fool-proof method and apparatus for assembling an article of assembly (e.g. with predetermined screw torque requirements) in which the article of assembly has multiple fastening locations. The method comprises holding the article of assembly fixed while providing at least two different types of targets fixed relative to the article of assembly that correspond to the individual fastening locations. Fasteners are fastened into the article of assembly at the fastening locations. When fastening is occurring at one of the fastening locations, one of the targets is being sensed. Based on the target sensed, a target output is generated that differentiates between different types of targets thereby indicating fastening location of the fastening tool. The electronic target output is used for electronic control such as for stopping a conveyor to keep the article of assembly at an assembly station until the fastening operations have been completed.
