Abstract:
In a tunable drum, a connector member in the drum is attached by cables to a tuning ring, and is threadedly coupled by a tuning linkage to a retaining member fixed to the drum. Rotation of the tuning linkage with respect to the drum moves the connector member longitudinally and, as a result, adjusts the tension of the drumhead. In one embodiment, a handle fixed to the tuning linkage is positioned to engage a complementary coupling in a drum stand when the drum is retained by the drum stand. In another embodiment, the complementary coupling is movable between an operative position in which the drum can be tuned by rotating it with respect to the stand, and inoperative position in which the drum can be placed in the stand without the handle engaging the complementary coupling.
An improvement for a low frictional connection between a first element and a second element wherein one of the elements rotates with respect to the other, such as a crankshaft and a connecting rod, includes the addition of a helical member located between the elements. One of the elements i. e. , a crankshaft, would include a convex journal surface and the other element i. e. , a connecting rod, would include a concave receptacle surface. The helical member is located around the journal surface. A bearing is positioned between the two elements directly adjacent to the helical member and moves against the helical member. The helical member is capable of being hardened and/or machined such that it presents a low frictional surface for the bearing to move against. Since the helical member is not an integral part of either of the elements it is capable of being replaced such that catastrophic marring of its low frictional surface either during manufacture or use does not require replacement of one of the elements but only requires replacement of the helical member.

Abstract:
A lifting assembly for lifting containers onto rail cars includes a substantially rectangular horizontal frame slidably mounted on vertical hoist assemblies each supported on a tracked undercarriage. The lateral separation between the hoists and the lateral dimensions of the frame are hydraulically adjustable to adjust the alignment of two cantilevered lifting beams which extend from the frame over the undercarriage. An operator housing that rides with the frame provides view exposure to the lifting alignment of the cantilevered beams.

"It's fairly mosaic in much of the area, although when you look at the map it appears the whole Coronado forest burned," fire information officer Jack Conner said. "Some areas did burn pretty intense, mainly in the bottoms of the gulches. But it is mosaic. It is a not a totally complete burn."
