| 20150328725 | CONICAL PINS FOR THE STRUCTURAL REPAIR OF DEFECTS - The present invention provides a pin comprising a conical body having a central axis and a cross-sectional area that decreases with distance from a first end to a second end. A coating applied to the conical body has a first melting temperature that is lower than a second melting temperature of the conical body, wherein the first melting temperature is lower than a friction temperature and wherein the second melting temperature is higher than the friction temperature. The friction temperature comprising a temperature value achieved at an interface of the pin and a component when the pin is forcibly positioned into the component to repair a defect. The coating comprises a material having a bond strength value comprising a first tensile strength value of a bond formed between the conical body and the component in response to softening and rehardening of the coating. The first tensile strength value is sufficiently high to restore an original function of the component at the location of the defect. | 11-19-2015 |

| 20160143170 | Graphic Formation via Material Ablation - Techniques for graphic formation via material ablation described. In at least some implementations, a graphic is applied to a surface of an object by ablating layers of the object to form an ablation trench in the shape of the graphic. In at least some embodiments, an object can include a surface layer and multiple sublayers of materials. When an ablation trench is generated in the object, the ablation trench can penetrate a surface layer of the object and into an intermediate layer. In at least some implementations, height variations in an object surface caused by an ablation trench can cause variations in light reflection properties such that a graphic applied via the ablation trench appears at a different color tone than a surrounding surface, even if the ablation trench and the surrounding surface are coated with a same colored coating. | 05-19-2016 |
