The inflatable jack consists of an air jack, extension hose, built-in car compressor and an air tank. Optionally, impact lug nut gun and tire gauge can be provided with the system. The air jack consists of two parts, flexible rubber bag, base and top plates which are made out of solid plastic to keep the jack intact and free from getting damaged. The air compressor and air tank are attached to the car and it draws power from the car battery itself. The air jack is able to withstand the weight of the car and it does not move from its location due to the solid plastic plate with a top rubber surface. There will be a button on the dashboard which upon pressing will turn on the compressor, which in turn fills up the air tank and releases the air into the jack. The air drain valve available on the air jack will let it deflate flat and it can then be placed in the trunk.

GAS TURBINE ALIGNMENT SYSTEMS AND METHODS
20180245483 · 2018-08-30 ·

A system includes an alignment system. The alignment system includes a first bladder configured to be positioned under a first component of a first gas turbine system. The alignment system further includes a first valve configured to adjust a first flow of fluid from a fluid source to the first bladder to expand the first bladder to adjust a position of the first component of the first gas turbine system.

INFLATABLE AIR WEDGE WITH TOOL CHANNEL AND ASSOCIATED METHOD
20180229985 · 2018-08-16 · ·

An inflatable air wedge has a tool channel that is inserted between a vehicle door and a vehicle body for allowing an operator to effectively unlock the vehicle door without damaging the vehicle (door and/or body and/or weather stripping). The inflatable air wedge includes a selectively inflatable bladder capable of being intercalated between the existing vehicle door and the existing vehicle body, a pneumatic mechanism in operable communication with the bladder for selectively introducing and releasing air from the bladder, and a conduit engaged with the bladder. Advantageously, such a conduit is suitably sized and shaped for guiding an existing unlocking tool therethrough while the bladder is at an inflated state and seated between the vehicle door and the vehicle body. Notably, the conduit is spaced from the pneumatic mechanism and manually distended when the unlocking tool is positioned therein.

VEHICLE SELF-LEVELING FOR OVERLANDING VEHICLES

Systems and methods of leveling a vehicle are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: provide a plurality of air bag jacks under the vehicle; determine roll and pitch information of the vehicle; determine, using a computing system, an amount of air-adjustment to make for one or more of the plurality of air bag jacks, based on the roll and pitch information, to level the vehicle; and activate, via the computing system, an air compressor to make the determined air-adjustment.

Lifting bag device with recessed gas inlet

A lifting device including a recessed inlet molded into an envelope structure of the lifting device at a notch section. The notch section, in turn, may include one or more protruding surfaces configured to protect the inlet, or air hose coupling attached to the inlet, from contact (e.g. falls/bumps) that may otherwise damage one or more of the air hose coupling or the recessed inlet while the lifting device is being stored, deployed, or used.

PRECISION SHAFT ALIGNMENT SYSTEM
20180181096 · 2018-06-28 ·

A precision shaft alignment system for establishing precise concentric axial alignment of a first shaft rotatably mounted and extending from a fixed unit and a second shaft extending from a variable position unit towards the first shaft includes a control and computing interface module, a pair of measuring means for precisely measuring at least one position of the first shaft and the second shaft and a jacking system for precisely aligning the shafts. The pair of measuring means is in communication with the control and computing interface module for transferring the at least one position of the first shaft and the second shaft for establishing precise concentric axial alignment of the first shaft and the second shaft. The jacking system is controlled by the control and computing interface module for precisely aligning the shaft.
