The present invention concerning of a device for mounting or dismantling, replacement and maintenance of a can-combustor of a gas turbine engine including an assembly tool or assembly tool with additional frame having at least one lifting beam, at least one linear driver, wheels, at least one eccentric rolling hook for fixation of the gas turbine housing, optionally spacers for building the interface to the can-combustor, adapters, lifting points for the main crane. The eccentric rolling hook is connected to the gas turbine housing by giving in axial or quasi-axial direction a force for mounting or dismantling the can-combustor from the gas turbine housing.

A method comprises processing a substrate in a gas enclosure to form a film on one or more portions of the substrate. The method further comprises, while processing the substrate, circulating gas along a circulation path through the gas enclosure. Circulating the gas may comprise flowing gas through an exhaust housing enclosing a printhead assembly housed in the gas enclosure and filtering the gas flowing downstream of the printhead assembly from the exhaust housing.

A removably attached coupling assembly can he used to he attached to a laser focus optic assembly of a liquid jet guided laser system. The coupling assembly can include a coupling body, a window assembly, and a nozzle assembly. The coupling assembly thus can allow the independent and separate servicing of the window and the nozzle. For example, to service the window, the coupling assembly can be first detached from the laser focus optic assembly, exposing the top portion of the coupling assembly. The window assembly then can be detached from the coupling assembly. The window can be removed from the window assembly for servicing, such as being repaired or replaced.

A repair kit and associated method for repairing an automotive coolant pipe for fluid-conducting within an engine block of an engine includes at least a repair stent, sealant and instructions for performing the method. The repair stent may be a whole tube, or a hollow semi-cylinder defining a gap. The method includes draining coolant from the engine, removing the water pump from the engine without removing the timing chain cover of the engine, inserting the repair stent including a sealant through the coolant passage, wherein the coolant passage extends through the timing chain cover into the engine, re-assembling the water pump to the engine and adding coolant to the engine.

A method and related system and apparatus for refurbishing worn rail transit rails to a desired refurbished rail surface profile substantially similar to the surface profile of a newly-manufactured rail, comprising: depositing a first line of fill material along a lower-inside section to be refurbished; in N1 successive iterations thereafter, progressing circumferentially from the lower-inside section to be refurbished to an upper-outside section to be refurbished, depositing an n+1.sup.th line of fill material adjacent an n.sup.th line of fill material wherein the n.sup.th line of fill material substantially provides a flow barrier against the n+1.sup.th line of fill material flowing past the n.sup.th line of fill material.

The invention relates to a lifting device for lifting loads, vehicles, or the like, comprising a mobile base frame (12); a lifting column (14) provided on the base frame (12); a support (15), said lifting column (14) and support (15) being guided by a guide (45); a load receiving means (20) which is arranged on the support (15) and by means of which a load receiving region (21) is determined, said base frame (12) having at least three support points outside of the load receiving region (21) of the load receiving means (20); and a drive unit which can be controlled by a controller and which moves the support (14) up and down relative to the lifting column (14). The lifting column (14) is arranged on the base frame (12) eccentrically to the load receiving region (21) and in a rotated manner relative to a longitudinal side of the load receiving region (20).

An automated reloading system for replacing a spent surgical end effector in a manipulatable robotic tool portion of a robotic surgical system is disclosed. The automated reloading system comprises a drive assembly configured to generate rotary drive motions and a selectively movable support assembly defining a plurality of end effector reloading positions. Each reloading position being configured to support a new surgical end effector or a spent surgical end effector therein. The selectively movable support assembly being further configured to selectively serially move each reloading position into a driving position wherein the new surgical end effector or the spent surgical end effector therein is configured to selectively receive the rotary drive motions. The automated reloading system further comprises means for releasably locking the movable support assembly in the driving position during the application of the driving motion to the new surgical end effector or the spent surgical end effector.

A robotic system for replacing a spent end effector component with a replacement end effector component is disclosed. The robotic system comprises a surgical end effector comprising an attachment portion. The robotic system further comprises an extraction system comprising a rotary extractor. The rotary extractor is configured to release the spent end effector component from the attachment portion of the surgical end effector when the spent end effector component in the surgical end effector is moved into engagement with the rotary extractor as the rotary extractor is rotated.

A spindle repair kit including a pair of alignment mandrels positionable in a respective spindle bore of a steering spindle. An alignment rod is operative to retain the mandrels in their respective spindle bores. The kit can also include a first clamp member and a second clamp member, each being positionable between the spindle bores. The kit includes a drill fixture including a drill mounting surface and a bearing fixture including a bearing aperture sized to receive the alignment rod. Fasteners clamp the drill fixture and first clamp member to the first spindle bore and clamp the bearing holder and second clamp member to the second spindle bore. The kit includes an arbor connectable to a drill and a reamer, wherein the arbor is sized to position the reamer in the first spindle bore.

A removably attached coupling assembly can be used to be attached to a laser focus optic assembly of a liquid jet guided laser system. The coupling assembly can include a coupling body, a window assembly, and a nozzle assembly. The coupling assembly thus can allow the independent and separate servicing of the window and the nozzle. For example, to service the window, the coupling assembly can be first detached from the laser focus optic assembly, exposing the top portion of the coupling assembly. The window assembly then can be detached from the coupling assembly. The window can be removed from the window assembly for servicing, such as being repaired or replaced.
