20090287458 | BROACH TOOL DESIGN METHODOLOGY AND SYSTEMS - This disclosure relates to a design methodology used in manufacturing a broaching tool for cutting slots in aerospace disk applications. The method includes modeling geometry of the slot and the broach tool, which is based upon an initial minimum tooth rise that is determined empirically for the particular disk material. The number of broach inserts and teeth per insert is calculated, and the broach inserts are modeled. The stresses and deformation of the lug are calculated in a finite elements environment based upon simulated incremental broach tool movements. If the lug is not within specifications based upon design constraints, then the broach tool is revised and the simulations are repeated until the slot is within the desired specifications. | 11-19-2009 |

20080247265 | Volumetric based chemical mixing system - The present invention provides an apparatus for the mixing or dilution of chemicals from one more sources that have been analyzed using laboratory analysis or an insitu-analyzer for concentration or molarity. The chemical is then transferred to a series of precisely calibrated vessels each of have a volume 10% of the next vessel. For example the main vessel may be 1 L in volume and the second vessel is 0.1 L in volume, the third is 0.01 L in volume and the fourth is 0.001 L in volume. The present system utilizes these two or more metered vessels which are connected to bulk chemical sources via intake lines. Each metered vessel contains an overflow tube, which drains any excess chemical by gravity flow from the metered vessel so as to adjust the chemical amount to a pre-calibrated desired level. As the chemicals exit the angle pipes, sensors located at the end of the overflow tube sense the chemical being discharged and trigger the feed pump and valve to shut off, whereby the excess chemicals will continue to drain out until the chemical levels reach the same level as the vent port of the pipe attached to the metered vessels. The excess chemicals are then drained into a recovery vessel which then can be transferred back to the bulk sources via a feed pump or pressure mechanism. The chemicals in the calibrated vessels are then dispensed by gravity lines to the mix tank vessel for mixing and subsequently delivered to a qualification vessel which may be verified using titration or online Ion Chromatography. | 10-09-2008 |

20090049200 | Providing Interoperability in Software Identifier Standards - A system manages information exchanges between components of the system so that information is provided in a format expected by each particular component. In a specific implementation, a translation service provider intercepts information exchanges between client and data sources or data services and translates of converts software identifiers (e.g., UUIDs or GUIDs) as needed so that the client or data source can properly process the data. For example, a client may use GUIDs in a first format, and when information is requested is presented using a GUID in a second format, different from the first, the translation service provider translates a GUID to the first format. The translation service provider may be transparent to the other components of the system. | 02-19-2009 |
