IPC: F16H7/08
Filed: 2005-08-10
Abstract: A tensioner assembly for a drive system, including a chain, of an internal combustion engine, includes a housing that is fixedly secured to the internal combustion engine. A piston is disposed within the housing. The piston is moveable between retracted and extended positions. The piston generates a force. A pivoting guide operatively extends between the chain of the drive system and the piston. The pivoting guide applies a first portion of the force against the chain. A lever is operatively connected to the piston between the piston and the pivoting guide. The lever translates the force from the piston to the pivoting guide. The tensioner assembly also includes a cam member that is pivotally coupled to the housing and is slidingly engaged with the pivoting guide. The cam member abuts the lever such that movement of the lever by the piston pivots the cam member in a manner that applies a second portion of the force against the pivoting guide in a varying magnitude.

Filed: 2005-07-14
Abstract: A deadbolt door lock assembly operates a deadbolt between an unlocked and locked position. It generally comprises an actuator, a ring, and a biasing member. The ring contacts the actuator and rotates it in either a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction to lock the deadbolt. Once the deadbolt is locked, the biasing member urges the ring out of contact with the actuator. In one aspect, the assembly is operable in either the clockwise or counter-clockwise direction without disconnecting the biasing member. In another aspect, the biasing member includes different portions to urge the ring out of contact with the actuator depending on whether ring operation is in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction. The assembly may include a backstop to indicate rotational direction of the ring to lock the deadbolt. The assembly may also include a stabilizing bridge to inhibit transverse rotation of mounting screws that secure the assembly to a door.

Title: Reforming nanocatalysts and method of making and using such catalysts
Inventor: ZHOU BING
IPC: B01J31/00
Filed: 2005-11-28
Abstract: Reforming nanocatalysts are formed using a dispersing agent to increase the activity, selectivity and longevity of the catalyst when used in a reforming process. The nanocatalyst particles are formed using a dispersing agent having at least one functional group selected from the group of a hydroxyl, a carboxyl, a carbonyl, an amide, an amine, a thiol, a sulfonic acid, sulfonyl halide, an acyl halide, an organometallic complex, and combinations of these.  The dispersing agent is particularly useful for forming multicomponent catalysts comprising an alloy, combination, mixture, decoration, or interspersion of platinum and one or more of tin, rhenium or iridium. The formation of the nanoparticles may include a heat treating process performed in an inert or oxidative environment to maintain the catalyst atoms in a non-zero oxidation state to thereby maintain a stronger bond between the dispersing agent and the catalyst atoms. Multicomponent reforming catalysts having anchored nanocatalyst particles exhibit particularly good activity, selectivity and longevity when used in the reforming of naphtha and/or formation of BTX.
