| 20100084020 | PUMP PURGE APPARATUS AND METHOD - When odorant injection systems are inactive, they may accumulate unwanted vapors in the pump mechanism and associated tubing.

As an option, the pump purge system may also include a liquid odorant recapture system. The liquid odorant recapture system uses high pressure gas to return accumulated liquid odorant to the odorant injection system to be reused. This liquid odorant recovery system ensures environmentally responsible behavior. | 2010-04-08 |

In a further embodiment, a process for the direct chill casting of a metal comprising the steps of continuously filling the upper end of the cavity with molten metal and permitting the molten metal to move downwardly through the mold to form an ingot, and simultaneously chilling the ingot by spraying coolant on the ingot from the coolant delivery system is provided. | 2010-04-08 |
| 20100084110 | HIGH PERFORMANCE BRAKE ROTOR - A method of forming a brake rotor includes forming a plurality of metal insert portions. Each insert portion includes an inner side and an outer side with a plurality of attachment members coupled to the inner side. The method also includes positioning the plurality of insert portions into a mold such that the inner side of one of the plurality of insert portions faces the inner side of another one of the insert portions. The method also includes introducing a molten aluminum into the mold such that the molten aluminum contacts the inner side of each insert portion. The method further includes forming a mechanical bond between the aluminum and at least a portion of at least one of the inserts. | 2010-04-08 |
| 20100084111 | Liquid to liquid heat exchanger for a marine engine cooling system - A liquid to liquid heat exchanger for a marine engine cooling system disposes a tube bundle within a non-metallic shell, provides a thermostat within an integral portion of the shell, uses bolts that both push and pull respective end caps when rotated, and in one embodiment provides an integral deaeration reservoir to remove entrained gases from a liquid of a closed cooling system. | 2010-04-08 |
