20090078367 | PNEUMATICALLY ACTUATED INFRARED WELDING METHOD AND APPARATUS - An infrared light source focuses infrared energy onto a work surface through the open end of a concentrator. The open end of the concentrator includes an elastomeric seal for sealably coupling the end of the concentrator directly to a work piece. Pneumatic pressure is applied through the concentrator and the seal to urge the work pieces together during the heating process to complete the weld. The method of infrared (IR) welding includes the steps of applying concentrated IR energy to at least one thermoplastic member while simultaneously applying pneumatic pressure to the work pieces for welding one member to another. | 03-26-2009 |

20100206341 | AUTOMATED VEHICLE WASH SYSTEM - An automated vehicle wash system including vehicle wash equipment, a mechanical room and a control module, such as a control pod. The control pod is positioned outside the mechanical room and adjacent the vehicle was equipment so that an operator of the control pod can directly view the wash equipment as the operator adjusts controls of the control pod to precisely regulate materials, such as chemicals and other treatment liquids, delivered by the wash equipment to a vehicle as the vehicle passes along a path. | 08-19-2010 |
20120216835 | CAR WASH SYSTEM - A automatic car washing apparatus is provided with a preparation station including a spray bar joined with an armature. The spray bar is manually moveable to selectively spray certain portions of a vehicle determined by the attendant. The armature provides forces to assist the user in manually manipulating the spray bar to prepare the vehicle to undergo subsequent and/or additional washing or cleaning procedures. A related method is also provided. | 08-30-2012 |
