Abstract: A pipe coupler includes a first jaw member, a first jaw extension, a second jaw member defining an open channel, a mounting board, a ratchet, and a first biasing member. The first and second jaw members are hinged to each other. The mounting board extends outwardly from the open channel of the second jaw member. The first jaw extension extends from the first jaw member, and is configured to extend into the open channel. The first jaw extension has a plurality of rack teeth. The ratchet is rotatably mounted on the mounting board, and has a plurality of ratchet teeth configured to mesh with the rack teeth. The first jaw extension is permitted to drive the ratchet to rotate unidirectionally against a first biasing force of the first biasing member.

Abstract: Embodiments include receiving into one or more computer databases a plurality of cost factors associated with supplying a commodity for vehicle manufacturing. A zero-based cost estimate for the commodity is calculated based on one or more of the plurality of cost factors. A current cost for the commodity is received into the one or more computer databases, and a cost variance between the current cost for the commodity and the zero-based cost estimate is calculated. One or more actions for reducing the cost variance may be received into one or more of the computer databases. The zero-based cost estimate for the commodity, the current cost for the commodity, the cost variance, and the one or more actions for reducing the cost variance may be displayed on one or more interactive user interfaces. A cross-functional team including representatives from engineering, purchasing and finance may implement the methodology.

Abstract translation: 实施例包括将与提供用于车辆制造的商品相关联的多个成本因素接收到一个或多个计算机数据库中。 基于多个成本因素中的一个或多个来计算商品的基于零的成本估计。 商品的当前成本被收到一个或多个计算机数据库中，并且计算商品的当前成本和基于零的成本估计之间的成本差异。 可以将一个或多个用于降低成本差异的动作接收到一个或多个计算机数据库中。 可以在一个或多个交互式用户界面上显示商品的基于零的成本估计，商品的当前成本，成本差异以及用于降低成本差异的一个或多个动作。 包括工程，采购和财务代表在内的跨职能团队可以实施该方法。
