20130302517 | METHOD FOR IMPROVING THE WEATHERING RESISTANCE OF AUTOMOTIVE COATINGS - The present disclosed subject matter provides a method for improving the weathering resistance of a coating of paint on a substrate when exposed to adverse environmental conditions. More particularly, the method includes applying a post-production coating to a base coating, where the post-production coating contains a greater concentration of ultraviolet (UV) protectant as compared to the base coating. The UV protectant contained in the post-production coat migrates along a concentration gradient to the base coating, thereby enriching the concentration of UV protectant in the base coating. Although this application will help protect the base paint coating on a variety of substrates from damage due to environmental conditions, the present disclosed subject matter is ideally suited for motor vehicle coating applications. | 11-14-2013 |

20100077742 | FLOW DIFFUSER FOR AN EXHAUST SYSTEM - Exemplary embodiments of the present invention provide devices, systems and methods for distribution of an engine exhaust gas to one or more exhaust treatment devices. In one embodiment, an exhaust flow diffuser is provided including a conduit defining an inlet opening, an outlet opening and a flow path therebetween. The conduit includes a first section disposed proximate to the inlet opening and a second section disposed proximate to the outlet opening. The second section has an increasing diameter along its length. The conduit is formed by a first member and a second member both of which extend between the inlet opening and outlet opening to form a portion of the first section and the second section. The first member and the second member each include an engagement feature that extends between the inlet opening and outlet opening. | 04-01-2010 |
