20080274919 | Method and system for improving fuel economy and environmental impact operating a 2-stroke engine - A method and system to reduce fuel consumption and environmental impact in a two-stroke engine. Fresh system oil having a TBN less than 10 is provided and used in the two-stroke engine to produce partially used system oil. The partially used system oil is withdrawn from the two stroke engine and at least one friction modifier is added to at least some of the withdrawn partially used system oil, wherein the addition of the at least one friction modifier reduces the friction coefficient of the withdrawn system oil, resulting in a system oil having reduced friction. The system oil with reduced friction is combined with partially used system oil remaining in said two-stroke and the combined system oil is used to lubricate pistons of said two-stroke engine. | 11-06-2008 |

20130014519 | METHOD AND CUP FOR OPERATION OF FROZEN BEVERAGE DEVICEAANM Bucceri; AlfioAACI HamiltonAACO AUAAGP Bucceri; Alfio Hamilton AU - A frozen beverage device to convert a liquid beverage into a semi-frozen or frozen form has inner and outer walls forming a refrigerant cavity containing a refrigerant material with a freezing point below the freezing point of the liquid, the refrigerant material occupying at least 80% of the volume of the refrigerant cavity. The outer wall has a base portion which can be moved from a first position, where the liquid is at least semi-frozen, to a second position where the internal pressure in the refrigerant cavity urges the inner wall outwardly towards the outer wall so that the refrigerant material contacts a maximum area of the surface of the inner wall in the refrigerant cavity for maximum heat transfer and to minimise constriction of access to the frozen beverage. Alternative methods to seal the inner and outer walls to close the refrigerant cavity are also disclosed. | 01-17-2013 |
20150253067 | METHOD OF, AND APPARATUS FOR, MAKING FROZEN BEVERAGE, ICE CREAM AND OTHER FROZEN CONFECTIONS - A frozen beverage device to convert a liquid beverage into a semi-frozen or frozen form has inner and outer walls forming at least one refrigerant cavity containing a refrigerant material with a freezing point below the freezing point of the liquid, the refrigerant material occupying at least 60% of the volume of the refrigerant cavity. The walls of the device can be squeezed to accelerate the heat transfer from the liquid to the refrigerant material; and the device may be placed in a squeezing apparatus. Where the device is to be disposable, the device can be placed in a flexible sheath or outer container before being squeezed to protect the device and/or insulate the user from the refrigerant material. A freezing spoon or stirrer can be used to assist, or accelerate, the freezing process. | 09-10-2015 |

20150158073 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PREVENTING A TOOL FROM BREAKING WHEN FINE BLANKING AND/OR FORMING A WORKPIECE - An exchangeable plate is suspended on a top plate and held in a lower end position without force by a hydraulic clamping means. In an upper end position, it is connected with force fit to, and re-detached from, the top plate as a function of a stripping operation of a scrap web from a V-ring pressure plate. The exchangeable plate is transferred from the lower into the upper end position by movement of a ram, and transferred from the upper into the lower end position by gravity. A sensing distance, adapted to the brake path of the drive system, is provided between the top plate and the exchangeable plate. A sensing device in the V-ring pressure plate outputs a signal to the computer for stopping the drive system and deactivating the hydraulic system. A sensor detects premature movement of a pressure plate in the exchangeable plate. | 06-11-2015 |

20100319553 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PREVENTING A TOOL FROM BREAKING DURING FINE BLANKING AND/OR FORMING A WORK PIECE - A device and method are provided for preventing a tool from breaking during fine blanking and/or forming in a press. The device includes a fine blanking head positioned above a ram that carries out a stroke movement. The fine blanking head includes, among other things, a main cylinder retaining a V-shaped projection piston, a touch piston, several V-shaped projection pins, a main plate covering the main cylinder and a touch table to which the tool can be connected. Pressure provided by a hydraulic system is introduced to the device in distinct regions. Gaps between certain device components are maintained and monitored for purposes of determining the undesirable presence of foreign objects in the press operating path. If a sensor determines that the gaps are not maintained then the computer which operates valves that supply the pressure from the hydraulic system will shut the press down. | 12-23-2010 |
20100319554 | MECHANICAL PRESS FOR FINE BLANKING, FORMING AND/OR STAMPING OF WORK PIECES - A mechanical press for fine blanking, forming and/or stamping of work pieces has a machine frame provided with a head piece and an O-shaped frame, the head piece receiving in a fixed arrangement a fine blanking or forming head having an upper tool part, a ram provided in the O-shaped frame having a table top for fixing a lower tool part, the ram being actuable along a vertical stroke axis, and a toggle mechanism with a first and second side that is positioned below the ram. The toggle mechanism includes a connecting rod having a substantially equilateral triangle shape with articulation points pivotally attached to arms that pivot about a fixed bearing on the press machine and the ram, respectively, as well as around the connecting rod. Another portion of the connecting rod is attached to synchronous motors through a gear and shaft arrangement at another fixed bearing on the machine press. A computer controller adjusts the motors to equal path-time characteristics. | 12-23-2010 |
20110000349 | HYDRAULIC FINE BLANKING HEAD FOR A PRESS AND METHOD OF ITS INFEED - Disclosed is a hydraulic fine blanking head for a mechanical press and [a] an infeeding method for same. The hydraulic fine blanking head includes an adjusting mechanism having an adjusting nut provided with an internal motion thread engaged with external motion threads on a main cylinder, the adjusting nut being turnable around a stroke axis, a sprocket wheel rotatable at a frontal surface of the adjusting nut, a hydraulic motor driving the sprocket wheel, and a brake for the motor shaft. Axial backlash between the respective 1 motion threads is prohibited by a pressure generated by a flow of pressurized hydraulic fluid which also generates a part forming force in the head. A conduit in communication with a hydraulic system and the interior of the head delivers the locking pressure, locking the threads against the backlash. Removal of pressure unlocks the threads. Infeed of the main cylinder with regard to the ram is adjustable by switching the motor and the brake on and off. | 01-06-2011 |
