20100051585Welding head rail squaring process - An improved method for executing a flash butt weld to join first and second rail segments includes applying a voltage to the first rail segment and the second rail segment to establish a voltage difference between the first and second rail segments. The rail end faces are brought into contact, resulting in an electrical current between the first rail end face and the second rail end face, resistively heating material at the interface. As material burns off at the interface, the power consumed at the rail end interface as a function of rail displacement is periodically sampled. If the comparison indicates that the power per unit of rail displacement is not increasing from sample to sample, the burn-off process is terminated. In a further aspect, if the power per unit of rail displacement exceeds a predetermined threshold, the burn-off process is terminated.03-04-2010
20100155372Welding process with jerk compensation - An improved welding head for creating an in-track weld between a first rail segment and a second rail segment includes a controller having computer-readable instructions read by the controller. The computer-readable instructions include instructions for compensating for rail jerk during in-track welding. The welding head includes a closing force actuator, such as a hydraulic cylinder, for moving the rail segments toward one another. A pressure transducer is monitored during welding to determine a closing force. An impending jerk of the rail movement is detected if an abnormal closing force change is observed, and in response the flow of hydraulic fluid into or out of the hydraulic cylinder is restricted to prevent or minimize the jerk. In addition, when an impending jerk is detected the weld current may be temporarily increased to burn or prevent the formation of short circuit paths between the rails.06-24-2010
20110290766SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FLASH-WELDING - An welding system is disclosed. The welding system may have a power supply, a forging arrangement configured to hold and move ends of two components to be welded together, and a plurality of contacts connecting the power supply to the two components. The welding system may also have a controller in communication with the power supply and the forging arrangement. The controller may be configured to regulate the power supply to selectively operate in a constant voltage mode and a constant current mode during different stages of a single weld cycle, and to actuate the forging arrangement to move the ends of the two components together during a final stage of the single weld cycle.12-01-2011

20110300033Pipette Holder and Applicator Apparatus - A two-piece holder and applicator for a squeezable pipette has a lower cylindrical body and a cap dimensioned to slide down over the body after the pipette has been inserted into the body. The cap has two diametrically-opposed vertical tabs that fit alongside the outer surface of the body, and each tab has an inwardly-facing button that is shaped to cooperate with a mating hole in opposing sides of the body. The buttons serve both to lock the cap onto the body and to transmit pressure applied by fingers on the outside of the tabs through the holes and against the walls of the pipette. Thus, when the tip of the pipette is punctured, the pipette can be squeezed using the tabs without touching the pipette. The small area of the buttons allow the user much greater control over the rate of dispensing of adhesive than if the entire area of opposing fingertips is used to squeeze the pipette.12-08-2011

20110225911SELF-BAILING INTERIOR FRAME - A self-bailing, antimicrobial frame construction is disclosed. A lower track including a pair of vertical sections and a gabled center section is connected to a plurality of studs. The studs are connected to an upper track having a pair of vertical sections and a gabled center section. The lower and upper tracks and the studs can be made from recycled metal that is roll-formed into shape and coated with an antimicrobial coating. A closed-cell foam pad can be placed under the lower track to insulate sound and vibration. The lower track can include several perforations at a low point in the lower track to allow moisture to escape the frame.09-22-2011
