CLIP, A CLAMP ASSEMBLY, AND A MOUNTING STRUCTURE
A clip includes a cylindrical pipe clamp portion which is formed with an open portion that is open in the axial direction; insert guide plates which extend from both ends of the pipe clamp portion in the circumferential direction so as to widen obliquely upwards; a slip-preventing plate which extends widthwise from the end of the pipe clamp portion in the axial direction; and raised stoppers which are contiguous with both ends of the outer circumferential surface of the pipe clamp portion, and also extend in the axial direction. One slip-preventing plate extends in one widthwise direction from one axial end of the pipe clamp portion, and another slip-preventing plate extends in the opposite direction, from the other end of the pipe clamp portion.

One slip-preventing plate extends in one widthwise direction from one axial end of the pipe clamp portion, and another slip-preventing plate extends in the opposite direction, from the other end of the pipe clamp portion.
Harness system
Harness systems for a mining vehicle are disclosed. One system includes a first harness having a first plurality of wires coupled together and a first length. The system further comprises a second harness having a second plurality of wires coupled together and a second length, wherein at least one of the first plurality of wires is conductively coupled to at least one of the second plurality of wires. The second length spans a distance no greater than the first length. The second harness may be placed in a high risk area, which may be selected based upon at least one of one or more characteristics of the mining vehicle or a location of the high risk area within the mining vehicle.

FLUID CONNECTOR WITH SACRIFICIAL ANODE
A fluid connector for connecting fluid conduit to a component in the presence of an electrolyte solution includes a connector body and sacrificial anode. The connector body defines an internal recess. The sacrificial anode can be press-fitted into the internal recess and circumscribed by the connector body. The sacrificial anode, which is constructed of a material that is configured to be consumed over a life of the component to prevent or delay corrosion of the connector body due to contact with the electrolyte solution, may be constructed of aluminum, magnesium, zinc, or other active metals. A fluid system for use in the presence of the electrolyte solution includes the component, fluid conduit, a pump, and the fluid connector. A vehicle includes the fluid system and a vehicle body. The component may be a steering gear assembly in some embodiments.

TEMPERATURE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WITH WIRE
An object of the present disclosure is to enable a wire and a refrigerant pipe to be mounted in a compact form in a vehicle. A temperature management system with a wire includes a refrigerant pipe through which a refrigerant for performing heat exchange in a heat exchange target device that is mounted in a vehicle passes and at a wire at least a portion of which extends along at least a portion of the refrigerant pipe.

ZONAL CLEANING SYSTEM FOR TRANSPORT CONTAINERS
A zonal cleaning system for a hopper trailer. The zonal cleaning system includes a controlled air supply that has air tanks with outlet valves operating sequentially and cyclically for a predetermined amount of time. Upper rail assemblies are positioned relatively about and mounted to the upper portion of the sidewalls and each connects to one of the outlet valves. The upper rail assemblies have nozzles directionally oriented and the sidewall rail assemblies each have a fluid delivery line connecting to one of the outlet valves. One or more drop-down segments connects to the fluid delivery line, and each of the drop-down segments has a nozzle manifold with one or more nozzles. Activation of the controlled air supply expels air sequentially and cyclically through each of the upper rail assemblies and each of the sidewall rail assemblies.
