Title: Increasing fatigue resistance of case hardened component
Inventor: BURRIS KENNETH W
IPC: C23C4/12
Filed: 1997-12-17
Abstract: A method of improving the fatigue resistance of a case hardened component, which is subjected to rolling or sliding contact, abrasion, bending and/or pitting, involves: (a) determining the load acting on the component; (b) determining the corresponding fatigue strength values and the applied fatigue stress values at the component surface and at a number of pre-selected points along the case thickness 't'; and (c) imparting a residual compressive stress profile, which extends from the component surface to the case thickness 't' and which comprises an upper, a lower and several intermediate residual compressive stress profiles, such that the residual compressive stresses at the surface and the pre-selected points respectively have sufficient size to achieve a resulting overall stress of \- 25 % less than the corresponding fatigue strength. Preferably, step (c) involves imparting a carbon gradient by either (i) variation of the carbon potential of the atmosphere during carburising; o r (ii) thermal spraying of a functional gradient material (FGM) coating of thickness 't' and with a carbon gradient profile extending from the new surface to thickness 't', the FGM being a ceramic, metal and/or cermet.  Also claimed are a case hardened component and a case hardened gear wheel having the above characteristics.

Title: Storage of domestic food waste to be re-used as animal feed, in containers in which the bulk storage area is kept separate from the filling point
Inventor: SCHOENE FRIEDRICH
IPC: A23K30/00
Filed: 1998-12-02
Abstract: Acidic liquids are added to preserve the scraps for a period of perhaps 24 days. A separation of the filling point from the bulk storage is therefore important to prevent human access to the preservative and to minimize odors escaping into the atmosphere. Scraps are placed into a filling area (1) by lifting lid (4). Area (1) is separated from the bulk store by a spring loaded plate (3). When the lid has been closed a rod (6) is pushed down to deflect plate (3) to allow the material in area (1) to fall into the container. A catch (7) prevents the operation of rod (6) with an open lid or the opening of the lid when rod (6) is being operated. The top lid, including the mechanism, is switched between full and empty containers as these are transported to the animal feed processing plant.  Different filling mechanisms, such as vane valves and screws, adapted to fulfill the basic requirements of separation, are contemplated.
