Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080264915Welding power source with automatic variable high frequency - A high frequency power source configured to provide a variable voltage output is described such as for use in welding systems. The high frequency power source charges a capacitive storage device. A transformer having a primary winding coupled to the output of the high frequency power source and establishing a resonant frequency signal with the capacitive storage device, and a secondary winding coupled to the welding power supply, superimposes the resonant frequency signals onto the welding power signal of the welding power supply during periods of the resonant rings. By varying the voltage output from the high frequency power source, the high frequency energy delivered to the welding torch can be optimized for a variety of welding applications.10-30-2008
20090230098METHOD FOR DETECTING CURRENT TRANSFER IN A PLASMA ARC - Methods and systems for transferring a plasma arc from between an electrode and a tip to between an electrode and a workpiece and back as dictated by the conditions at the cutting arc are provided. The present disclosure allows for arc transfer detection without use of a current sensor at the workpiece or knowledge of a precise pilot circuit limit value through a novel plasma arc control circuit. In one embodiment, the plasma arc control circuit provides a programmable current source and a current sink configured to limit current in a pilot arc control circuit. The pilot arc circuit may be configured to signal its limiting status to a controller, which may switch the pilot arc control circuit in or out of the current path. Certain embodiments may include a pulse width modulation control in the pilot arc control circuit for controlling current flow through the pilot arc circuit.09-17-2009

20110228099SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRACKING COOPERATIVE, NON-INCANDESCENT SOURCES - A system and method for tracking a cooperative, non-incandescent source may include collecting scene images of a scene that includes the cooperative, non-incandescent source and background clutter. First and second scene images of the scene may be generated over distinct spectral bands. The first and second scene images may be imaged onto respective first and second focal plane arrays. In one embodiment, the imaging may be substantially simultaneous. The first and second scene image frame data respectively generated by the first and second focal plane arrays may be processed to produce resultant scene image frame data. The scene image frame data may result in reducing magnitude of scene image frame data representative of the background clutter more than magnitude of scene image frame data representative of the cooperative, non-incandescent source.09-22-2011

20080245258Pressure-balanced electric motor wheel drive for a pipeline tractor - A self-propelled crawler/tractor apparatus is disclosed for traveling through a tubular pipeline while conducting pipeline wall inspection operations and/or towing gear for cleaning, maintenance and the like. The crawler/tractor apparatus is propelled by a plurality of radially positioned motorized traction wheels. Each motorized traction wheel includes a brushless DC electric motor along with clutch, gearbox and other mechanical drive components integrated into a compact self-contained motorized wheel assembly which is sealed and filled with an electrically non-conductive lubricating/cooling oil. The seal integrity at each wheel assembly is maintained against oil leakage and debris ingress by a pressure-balancing mechanism which matches internal oil pressure to the exterior ambient pressure present in the pipeline. The electric motor drive for each traction wheel is individually controlled via an onboard computer to provide a wide range of torque and wheel speeds.10-09-2008
