Patent application number | Description | Published |
20100115920 | Exhaust component having permanently associated life indicator - An exhaust component for use with a combustion engine is disclosed. The exhaust component may have a housing at least partially defining an inlet and an outlet, and a treatment device supported by the housing in communication with exhaust passing from the inlet to the outlet. The exhaust component may also have a life indicator permanently associated with at least one of the housing and the treatment device. | 05-13-2010 |
20130000287 | EXHAUST MANIFOLD WITH SHIELDED COOLING - An exhaust manifold configured to be coupled to a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine includes a manifold section. The manifold section includes a manifold tube configured to receive exhaust gas from the cylinder head, and a water jacket tube at least partially defining a tube configured to receive cooling fluid. The manifold tube is received in the water jacket tube. The manifold section further includes a support in a gap between the manifold tube and the water jacket tube, and an adaptor tube coupled to the water jacket tube and configured to provide flow communication between the cylinder head and the manifold tube. | 01-03-2013 |
20130292938 | External clamshell slip joint seal - A slip joint seal for a slip joint that includes an outer pipe and an inner pipe. The slip joint seal includes a clamshell clamp with an upper portion and a lower portion mateable to one another to form a hollow cylindrical ring. The ring has a base portion, a protruding portion, an inner surface, and an outer surface. A band fits around the base portion for securing the upper and lower portions to one another around the slip joint. The slip joint seal has a ceramic fiber filament fiber with a first portion that fits within the base portion and surrounds a portion of the slip joint around a slidable interface. A second portion fits within the protruding portion and fills an annular channel of the slip joint. The clamshell clamp and the filament discourage leaking from the interface between the inner pipe while allowing relative movement between the inner pipe and the outer pipe. | 11-07-2013 |
20160107332 | 3D PRINTING SYSTEM - A three dimensional printing system includes a cement source adapted to supply a material. A first extruder adapted to extrude material to form a first layer, and at least one second extruder adapted to extrude material to form at least one second layer over first layer. The first extruder and the at least one second extruder, being in fluid communication with the cement source, and adapted to receive material from the cement source. The first extruder and at least one second extruder placed in series configuration, and adapted to work in collaboration, such that the first extruder and at least one second extruder move simultaneously and at least one second layer is formed over first layer after a delay. The delay is proportional to a rate of motion of first extruder or at least one second extruder, rate of solidification of material, as-extruded surface tension, and inherent integrity of material. | 04-21-2016 |
20160112002 | ANTI-THEFT MOUNTING APPARATUS FOR SOLAR PANEL - An anti-theft mounting apparatus for solar panel is provided. The anti-theft mounting apparatus includes a base layer of cementitious composite disposed at a target location and a fastening member for fastening the base layer of cementitious composite to the target location. The anti-theft apparatus further includes a damping member disposed on the base layer of cementitious composite and along a periphery of the solar panel. The anti-theft further includes a top layer of cementitious composite disposed on the damping member and along the periphery of the solar panel. The top layer of cementitious composite binds with the base layer of cementitious composite to form an anti-theft coupling. | 04-21-2016 |
20160116906 | WORKTOOL CONFIGURATOR FOR MACHINE - A method of configuring a work tool with a machine is provided. The method includes receiving at least one operational parameter of the work tool by an off board system. The method also includes matching the operational parameter of the work tool with a specification of the machine using a back office system. The method also includes configuring at least one control element of the machine to control at least one function of the work tool. The method includes identifying the work tool connected to the machine by the sensing module. The method also includes retrieving the operational parameters and a pre-defined instruction set stored in the control module corresponding to the identified work tool. The method further includes displaying at least one graphical representation on a display device for each function of the work tool. The method includes controlling the work tool using the at least one control element. | 04-28-2016 |
