A system and method for automatically and remotely adjusting the position of a captive beam is provided. The system includes a motor that moves a bracket along a vertical track, with the bracket supporting an end of the captive beam. The bracket rotatably supports a latch that engages an aperture in a track when aligned therewith to allow track to support the load of the captive beam and the load supported by the captive beam.

Remotely adjustable captive beam system

A motorized horizontal support system may include first and second vertical tracks that are configured to be installed upon opposing walls of a cargo compartment; first and second brackets that each slide along the respective first and second vertical tracks; a horizontal support disposed between and fixed with respect to the first and second brackets, where the horizontal support includes a first inner passageway extending along a length of the horizontal support; a first balance cable extending through the first inner passageway of the horizontal support; a motor operatively engaged with the second bracket, where operation of the motor may cause the first and second brackets to slide upwardly or downwardly along the respective first and second vertical tracks; and a controller with user input capability that may selectively control the operation of the motor.

Motorized horizontal support system

A deck system for cargo compartment may including one or more of the following features: a first deck; a second deck, where at least one of the first deck and the second deck divide the cargo compartment into an upper sub-compartment and a lower sub-compartment; and an actuator that is mechanically coupled to the second deck, where operation of the actuator causes at least a portion of the second deck to move vertically relative to the first deck within the cargo compartment.

Adjustable deck system for cargo compartment

Systems and methods are provided for restraining cargo in a cargo compartment. In one embodiment, the system comprises a first track sub-assembly comprising a vertical track secured to at least one horizontal support member. The at least one horizontal support member is dimensioned to span between a plurality of preexisting vertical logistics posts on a first sidewall of a cargo compartment. In one embodiment, the at least one horizontal support member comprises first and second ends, and a center point positioned halfway between the first and second ends, wherein a central longitudinal axis of the vertical track is offset from the center point of the first horizontal support member by a predetermined distance. A first beam assembly having a first end to assembly is movable along the vertical track and configured to be secured at a predetermined height.

Restraint system for carts and other cargo

A foldable pallet deck is provided. The foldable pallet deck comprises first and second base members connected by a frame member, first and second legs selectively movable with respect to the first base member, third and fourth legs selectively movable with respect to the second base member; first, second, third, and fourth connecting plate assemblies connecting the first, second, third, and fourth legs with the first and second base members such that each of the first, second, third, and fourth legs are movable with respect to the respective first and second base members between a deployed configuration and a folded configuration, first and second cross members configured to securely engage first and second stacking members, respectively, when the pallet deck is in the deployed configuration.

Foldable pallet deck

A braided carbon nanotube thread includes at least three carbon nanotube filaments braided into a thread. The carbon nanotube filaments include a plurality of carbon nanotubes, each of the carbon nanotubes having a length L. The carbon nanotube filaments are braided such that the carbon nanotube thread has at least 8 intersections per the length L of each carbon nanotube. The carbon nanotube thread has a tensile strength greater than the tensile strength of the constituent carbon nanotube filaments.
