Title: Laser-welded assembly
Inventor: YAMABUKI FUMIYASU
IPC: B29C65/00
Filed: 2003-02-21
Abstract: A metal member and a resin member, or two resin members are welded or bonded to each other at welding or bonding surfaces thereof which are heated by irradiation of a laser beam, thereby providing an assembly wherein the two members are fluid-tightly bonded at the bonding surfaces. The laser beam is transmitted through a laser transmitting resin, and a laser absorbing material which is in contact with the laser transmitting resin is irradiated with the laser beam, so that the laser absorbing material is heated, whereby the laser transmitting resin and the laser absorbing resin are melted owing to the heat. By moving the spot of the laser beam, portions of the resin members to be heated and melted displace, and the resin materials are melted and then solidify. The casing 202 includes an upper part 216 formed of the laser absorbing resin and a lower part 218 formed of the laser transmitting resin. The casing 202 is fixed to a housing 200 formed of the laser absorbing resin, and a contact portion 268 of the upper surface of the housing 200 is irradiated with a laser beam emitted from the laser beam emitting device located outside the casing 202 such that the laser beam is emitted from the upper side of the housing 200 and is obliquely incident on the contact portion 268. The contact portion 268 is irradiated with the laser beam as described above with the location to be irradiated by the laser beam being moved at a constant speed along and throughout the periphery of the casing 202 along walls 206 thereof, whereby the casing 202 and the housing 200 are welded or bonded to each other. The lid 204 formed of the laser transmitting resin is fixed onto the casing 202, and the lid 204 and the casing 202 are welded or bonded to each other by the laser beam emitted from the emitting device located above a contact portion 272 of an upper surface of the casing 202.

Title: Mls gasket with bore edge stopper bead
Inventor: JOHNSON WILLIAM A
IPC: F16J15/08
Filed: 2003-02-14
Abstract: A gasket includes an intermediate layer having resilient sealing beads flanked by stopper beads. The three-layer gasket, particularly designed for heavy duty racing engines, provides a relatively robust cross-section in web-areas between cylinder bore apertures. A thin bottom layer includes wrap-around flanged portions extending about cylinder bore edges of the intermediate layer to partially overlap cylinder bore aperture areas of that layer. The flanged portions may include a plurality of waves to increase forces to generate the seal. A thin top layer overlies the intermediate layer, as well as the overlapping portions of the bottom layer. In one described embodiment, the overlapping portions are limited to cylinder bore edges between cylinder bores. As a between-engine-overhaul indication of engine health, the top gasket layer is adapted via plastic deformation to form a permanent indentation in an aluminum cylinder head to signal excessive engine operation.

Title: Cleanout cover system for unloading particulate material from reciprocating floor assemblies
Inventor: SIMRIN KIRK A
IPC: B65G67/24
Filed: 2004-08-06
Abstract: The cleanout cover system of this invention is operable with a container having a reciprocating slat-type conveyor for supporting and moving particulate material rearwardly at an unloading site. The container has laterally spaced side walls and a front connecting wall, the rear end being operable for unloading. The cleanout system includes a flexible cover sheet spanning the distance between the side walls and an elongated strap connected at one end to the center point of the front end of the cover and at its opposite end to a strap wind-up reel powered by a pneumatic motor. The reel and motor assembly is mounted on the container adjacent the upper end of the front wall of the container centrally between the side walls. A brake system associated with the reel serves to prevent unwinding of the strap when the pneumatic motor is deactivated after the strap is wound fully onto the reel with the cover suspending therefrom and permit unwinding of the strap when pulling tension is applied by the cover during unloading operation of the reciprocating slat-type conveyor of the container.

Abstract: A method of testing and improving recall information using an automated device. An item of information is connected to an initial prompt by a relationship link. The device presents the initial prompt to the user who recalls information and links to the prompt. The device reviews the information and links and the user compares the reviewed intended informatio n with the recalled information. The user provides inputs to the device indicating an ability to recall the information and links. The inputs provid ed by the user are used to calculate a re-testing interval for each item of information. The device automatically re-test the user after the interval calculated for each item of information has elapsed. A longer interval is us ed for items of information recalled exactly than the interval for items of information not recalled exactly. At re-testing information not yet due for re- testing is presented to the user.
