20080315627 | Automotive Body and Trim Assembly with Complementary Locating and Positioning Features and Method of Assembling Same - An automotive body and trim assembly is provided that utilizes locating features on only a single sheet metal layer of a multi-layer body frame pillar to position a trim member, thus minimizing variability in the final assembled position of the trim member. The single sheet metal layer has both a fore-aft-locating feature and a cross-car-locating feature. A fore-aft-positioning feature and a cross-car-positioning feature on the pillar trim member are spaced to permit contact with the fore-aft-locating feature and the cross-car-locating feature, respectively when the pillar trim member is assembled with the body frame pillar, so that only the single sheet metal layer determines the fore-aft and cross-car position of the pillar trim member. A method of assembling a pillar trim member and a body frame pillar having multiple sheet metal layers is also provided. | 12-25-2008 |

20150128649 | METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR FORMING OPTICAL PREFORMS FROM GLASS SOOT - Methods and apparatuses for forming optical preforms from silica glass soot are disclosed. According to one embodiment, a method for forming an optical preform may include loading silica glass soot in a mold cavity of a mold body. The mold body may be rotated at a rotational speed sufficient to force the silica glass soot towards an inner wall of the mold body. Thereafter the silica glass soot is compressed in an inward radial direction as the mold body is rotated to form a soot compact layer. | 05-14-2015 |

The booster cooling unit is positioned to regulate the temperature of the probe seat of the ultrasonic booster such that the assembly supports a temperature dependent press-fit engagement of the seated end of the ultrasonic probe and the probe seat of the ultrasonic booster. The temperature dependent press-fit engagement is such that the seated end of the ultrasonic probe can be reversibly moved in and out of the probe seat at an elevated temperature T | 08-30-2012 |
20150274566 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR MATERIAL PROCESSING USING ATMOSPHERIC THERMAL PLASMA REACTOR - Methods and apparatus provide for: producing a plasma plume within a plasma containment vessel from a source of plasma gas; feeding an elongate feedstock material having a longitudinal axis into the plasma containment vessel such that at least a distal end of the feedstock material is heated within the plasma plume; and spinning the feedstock material about the longitudinal axis as the distal end of the feedstock material advances into the plasma plume, where the feedstock material is a mixture of compounds that have been mixed, formed into the elongate shape, and at least partially sintered. | 10-01-2015 |
20150274567 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR MATERIAL PROCESSING USING PLASMA THERMAL SOURCE - Methods and apparatus provide for: feeding glass batch material into a plasma containment vessel in such a way that the glass batch material is dispensed as a sheet of glass batch material particles; directing one or more sources of plasma gas into the inner volume of the plasma containment vessel in such a way that the plasma gas enters the plasma containment vessel as at least one sheet of plasma gas; and applying an alternating electric field to facilitate production of a plasma plume within the inner volume of the plasma containment vessel, where the plasma plume is of dimensions sufficient to envelope the sheet of glass batch material particles, and is of sufficient thermal energy to cause the glass batch material to react and melt thereby forming substantially homogeneous, spheroid-shaped glass intermediate particles. | 10-01-2015 |
20150274569 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR MATERIAL PROCESSING USING DUAL SOURCE CYCLONIC PLASMA REACTOR - Methods and apparatus provide for: feeding glass batch material into a plasma containment vessel; directing one or more sources of plasma gas into an inner volume of the plasma containment vessel in such a way that the plasma gas swirls in a cyclonic fashion within the plasma containment vessel; and applying first and second electromagnetic fields to the plasma gas to facilitate production of a plasma plume within the inner volume of the plasma containment vessel, where the plasma plume is of a generally cylindrical configuration, and is of sufficient thermal energy to cause the glass batch material to thermally react. | 10-01-2015 |

20130189979 | ENHANCEMENT FOR POWER-DOWN SEQUENCE - When a cellular telephone is powered down, it sends a power-down message to a network it was registered with. If the cellular telephone does not receive an acknowledgement of the power-down message from the network, a flag is set in the cellular telephone. The power-down sequence is concluded by the cellular telephone, and the cellular telephone is shut off or put into a reduced power consumption state. When the telephone is turned back on the flag is evaluated to see if it was set during the course of powering down. The status of the flag when the phone is powered up is then used by the cellular telephone to determine whether it should make a network access request to a network the telephone was registered to, during the power-up operation in order to cause that cellular network to update its database regarding the whereabouts of the powered-up cellular telephone. | 07-25-2013 |

20130086088 | Query Transformation for Masking Data Within Database Objects - According to one embodiment of the present invention, a system processes a database query, and comprises a computer system including at least one processor. The system identifies one or more expressions within the database query utilizing a database object with value masking. Masking requirements are determined for each identified expression and the database object utilized by that identified expression is replicated to provide masked and actual versions of that database object in response to the masking requirements for that expression including masked values and actual values of that database object. The value masking of the database object is applied to the identified expressions within the database query based on the determined masking requirements to produce search results with masked values for the database query. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and computer program product for processing a database query in substantially the same manner described above. | 04-04-2013 |

20090127019 | HYDRAULIC DAMPER - The present invention provides a damping system for use with a mechanism such as a steering system wherein one element moves relative to another element. The system includes a variable volume chamber, a collection chamber, and an inertia track providing fluid communication between the two chambers. A fluid is disposed in the chambers and the inertia track. A compliant tuning member is in fluid communication with the variable volume chamber. The damping system is capable of attenuating vibration at chosen frequencies without adding undesired damping at other frequencies. In the preferred embodiment, the damping system is used to attenuate steering wheel torsional vibration without increasing low frequency damping that would deteriorate steering feel. | 05-21-2009 |
