Patent application number | Title | Published |
20120273469 | Planetary Resistance Welding Device And Methods Therefor - Devices and methods are contemplated in which a first electrode is circumferentially movable about a second electrode such that a tubular work piece can be resistance welded to a second work piece. Most preferably, the first electrode is a wheel-shaped electrode, while the second electrode is static and disk-shaped. | 11-01-2012 |
20120273174 | Thermal Seal and Methods Therefor - A thermal bulb seal has a bulb portion and a tab portion that is configured to allow welding or other attachment of the bulb seal to the end surface of an insulating structure. Most preferably, the tab portion comprises an angled portion so allow welding of the bulb seal to another insulating structure. | 11-01-2012 |
20110302985 | Reciprocating Devices for Forming, Folding, and/or Hemming and Methods Therefor - A hem is formed in two abutting surfaces of a work piece in a two-pass process in which the work piece is pre-hemmed by a reciprocating tool in a first pass and in which the hem is then formed from the pre-hem by the same reciprocating tool in a second pass upon inversion of the work piece. In especially preferred aspects, the reciprocating tool has an angled contact surface that cooperates with a corresponding static tool. | 12-15-2011 |
20110074118 | Thermal Seal and Methods Therefor - A thermal bulb seal has a bulb portion and a tab portion that is configured to allow welding or other attachment of the bulb seal to the end surface of an insulating structure. Most preferably, the tab portion comprises an angled portion so allow welding of the bulb seal to another insulating structure. | 03-31-2011 |
20100276127 | METAL SILICONE HYBRID INSULATING STRUCTURES AND METHODS THEREFOR - A thermally insulated structure comprises a conduit and an end cap that is coupled to the conduit. In especially preferred aspects, the conduit is insulated with a first and second insulation material, wherein the end cap is coupled to the conduit and the second insulation material, and wherein the first insulation material is disposed between the conduit and the second insulation material. It is further preferred that the end cap has a thermal dissipation zone that allows use of the second flexible and fluid resistant isolation material isolation without thermal degradation, even where the temperature in the conduit exceeds 500° F., or more. | 11-04-2010 |
