20100180987 | Methods for Enhancing Hardness and Dimensional Stability of a Wood Element and Wood Product Having Enhanced Hardness - The present disclosure includes methods for enhancing hardness and dimensional stability of a wood element. In one embodiment, the method includes placing the wood element in a compression assembly set to a compression temperature between about 365° F. and about 410° F., heating and compressing the wood element without exceeding the species' threshold pressure value to produce a compressed wood product, heating the compressed wood product to a post-compression temperature between about 275° F. and about 350° F., and holding the compressed wood product at the post-compression temperature for about 30 to about 48 hours. The disclosure also includes a wood product having enhanced hardness. | 07-22-2010 |

20130047808 | Punching and Forming Lubrication System and Lubricant Retention Matrix - A punch element is mounted for sliding movement in the guide sleeve or casing with the punch point at its lower end for forming or punching a workpiece. A stripper element is located at the lower end of the guide sleeve which defines the casing of the punch assembly, and the stripper element has an opening aligned with the punch point through which the punch point passes to engage the workpiece. A matrix placement chamber is provided within the casing between the punch point and the guide sleeve so as to at least partially surround the punch point and at least one flexible lubrication matrix body is contained in the matrix placement chamber inside the housing. The matrix which is enclosed entirely within the casing of the unitary punch assembly in which the punch reciprocates comprises an integral porous elastic multi-cellular polymeric body containing a multiplicity of hollow communicating cells adapted to hold a lubricant in fluid communication with the sidewalls of at least the point of the punch and in a preferred form completely surrounds the punch point. The lubrication matrix can also hold a cleaning agent or an abrasive in particulate form. | 02-28-2013 |
20140109742 | Punch Assembly With Separate Adjustable Punch Guiding Shim Block - A punch assembly for a hydraulic punch press machine that affords the ability to compensate for punch point metal loss due to resharpening by facilitating accurate repositioning of the punch point relative to an aperture in a stripper plate through which the punch point member projects during a stamping stroke of the punch assembly. | 04-24-2014 |
20150020663 | Multipunch With Axial Retainer For Securing Multiple Dies or Strippers - A multiple punch and die assembly body member has dies or strippers that are held within multiple pockets in a multipunch body member by means of a centrally positioned retaining member formed from a rigid or flexible material located in a central recess at the middle of a ring of the surrounding dies or strippers. The retaining member is preferably held in place by a push plate that can be secured to the multipunch body member by a tightening element, e.g., a screw fastener for pressing the peripheral surface of the retainer member into engagement with the dies or strippers to hold them in their respective pockets in the multipunch body member. | 01-22-2015 |

20150103458 | Modular Equipment Center Integrated Truss Sensors - A modular truss assembly for mechanically and electrically mounting system components of a modular equipment center (MEC). A plurality of MECs is spatially distributed throughout the vehicle to service equipment loads. The modular truss assembly provides different voltage levels for powering the system components of the MEC and for powering the equipment loads. In one or more configurations, a MEC incorporate inductive power coupling for powering a line replaceable unit (LRU) in proximity to the modular truss assembly without exposed electrical connections and such that the MEC may forgo power conversion equipment. In one or more configurations, a sensor is embedded in one or more transfer layers of the truss for measuring a power trace embedded in the modular truss assembly. | 04-16-2015 |
