A distribution fiber optic cable including a plurality of optical fibers, a main cable body with some of the plurality of optical fibers being disposed within the main cable body, at least one tether optical fiber, and a cable jacket. The at least one tether optical fiber is one of the plurality of optical fibers that transitions during manufacturing from a first location within the main cable body to a tether access location for a portion of the distribution cable. The cable jacket includes a main cable body jacket and a tether access jacket portion that are connected together by a continuous transition that is applied during cable manufacturing. Thus, the craftsman may conveniently access the at least one tether optical fiber for distribution into the optical network.

A cryogenic liquid storage tank comprising - a base plate (2,5) and side wall (3) extending upwardly, - the base plate (2) and side wall (3) comprising an outer leaf (3b) enveloping an inner leaf (3a), both forming structurally continuous transitions from the base plate (2) to the side wall (3), - the outer leaf (3b) part of the base plate (2) comprising a lower, outer leaf concrete bottom plate (5) on a substrate, - the bottom plate (5) continuous with an outer leaf reinforced concrete layer (50) of the outer side wall (3b), the outer leaf concrete layer (50) hoop stress reinforced, - an inward surface of the bottom plate (5) and concrete layer (50) of the outer leaf (3b) lined with a continuous outer leaf metallic membrane (6, 51), - a bottom insulation layer (7) arranged above the outer leaf metallic membrane (6) on the bottom plate (5), the bottom insulation layer (7); formed continuous with a wall insulation (14i) filled in an annular cavity (14) between the inner face of the outer leaf (3b) and an outer face of the inner leaf (3a), - the inner leaf (3a) comprising an inner leaf concrete bottom layer (8) on the bottom insulation portion (7), the bottom layer (8) formed structurally continuous with a hoop stress reinforced inner leaf wall outer concrete layer (11), both lined with a continuous inner leaf metal membrane (9, 12), - the inner leaf metal membrane (9, 12) lined with an inner leaf inner concrete layer (10, 13), - the outer outer concrete wall (50) supporting an insulated dome structure (4).

A pneumatic radial ply truck tire for use on medium truck trailers includes a tread, a casing with two sidewalls, one or more radial plies extending from, and wrapped about, two annular beads, and a belt reinforcement structure located radially between the tread and the one or more radial plies. The tread includes a plurality of circumferentially extending tread grooves, a pair of circumferentially extending shoulder ribs, a pair of radially recessed ribs being radially recessed and non-road contacting under static load disposed at a lateral edge of the shoulder ribs, and a pair of circumferentially extending decoupling grooves. Each decoupling groove defines a transition between a corresponding shoulder rib and a corresponding recessed rib. A lateral edge of one of the shoulder ribs has a first radius of curvature forming a transition from a radially outer surface of the shoulder rib to a first side surface of the corresponding decoupling groove. A base surface of the decoupling groove has a second radius of curvature forming a transition from the first side surface to a second side surface of the decoupling groove. A radially outer surface of the corresponding recessed rib has a third radius of curvature forming a continuous transition from the second side surface to a third outer side surface of the shoulder portion of the tread.
