Abstract: An aluminum driveshaft assembly is dynamically balanced by locating steel plates at desired locations on  an  exterior  surface  of  an  aluminum  driveshaft, inserting tapered aluminum studs through tapered holes of the aluminum or steel plates, and inertia or friction welding the bases of the aluminum studs to the exterior surface of the driveshaft to retain the steel plates.          Alternatively steel plates with round cylindrical holes are attached to the driveshaft by round cylindrical studs.  The cylindrical studs are friction welded to the driveshaft  after  the  aluminum  or  steel  plates  are located on  the  driveshaft  and  steel  plates  with cylindrical holes are then inserted onto the studs.          Cylindrical studs may also be friction welded before the aluminum or steel plates are added.   In this case aluminum or steel plates are then added and the stud is rolled over in a secondary operation.

Title: Process for purifying exhaust gas from gasoline engines
Inventor: OKUMURA AKIHISA
IPC: F01N3/20
Filed: 1996-12-05
Abstract: A process for purifying exhaust gas from a gasoline engine of the fuel-direct-injection type purifies exhaust gas that varies, in response to changes in the air-fuel ratio, between the first exhaust-gas state featured by an air-fuel ratio in the vicinity of the stoichiometrical air-fuel ratio and the second exhaust-gas state that forms a more oxidizing, low-temperature atmosphere and that is featured by an air-fuel ratio greater than the stoichiometrical air-fuel ratio, by using an exhaust-gas purifying catalyst (12) that contains at least one kind of noble metals, such as platinum, and transition metals. With the above-mentioned process, exhaust gas, which is discharged from a gasoline engine of the fuel-direct-injection type (1) that allows the air-fuel ratio to change between the stoichiometrical air-fuel ratio and air-fuel ratios within the lean burn mode, is purified by using the single purifying-use catalyst; therefore, it is possible to simplify the purifying operation for exhaust gas whose compositions and temperature vary widely due to frequent changes in the air-fuel ratio.
Patent CA-2213067-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HILL JAMES B
IPC: E03D1/38
Filed: 1997-10-01
Abstract: For all domestic water closets (toilets), devices and methods to reduce water consumption focus upon reducing the available volume of water in the tank.  This reduction of volume does reduce the water consumption, but this reflects in a reduction of the designed performance of the water closet.  Our invention serves to stimulate the water movement from tank to bowl during the flush process, obtaining maximum force and flow, and improving the efficiency of operation for the water closet.  This increase in designed efficiency adequately compensates a water volume reduction, giving a full volume flush from a reduced volume consumption. Our invention inserts easilly in the tank outlet below the flapper, with only slight friction fit for stability  and is also easilly removed.  The angled blades serve to    RH~   stimulate the outflowing water into a funnel action immediately, rather than relying on the natural progression to that state, thereby obtaining maximum flow for the entire volume of water rather than only the latter portion.  Our invention allows a   ~RH~  set volume of water to deliver itself quicker, which translates into an increase of effective pressure to compensate the reduction of the volume.
