| 20080210585 | Welding wire package - A package for containing and dispensing wire from a coil of welding wire. The package having an outer layer with a bottom and an outer side wall having an upper edge defining a box opening for removing the wire from the package. The package further including an inner core positioned within the inner cylindrical opening of the wire coil wherein the inner core has a base supported by the package bottom and an oppositely facing core top. The core base being generally maintained relatively to the package bottom to prevent the core from “walking-up” the wire coil and the core top being allowed to tilt as the wire exits the package. | 09-04-2008 |
| 20100213089 | WELDING WIRE PACKAGE - A package for containing and dispensing wire from a coil of welding wire. The package having an outer layer with a bottom and an outer side wall having an upper edge defining a box opening for removing the wire from the package. The package further including an inner core positioned within the inner cylindrical opening of the wire coil wherein the inner core has a base supported by the package bottom and an oppositely facing core top. The core base being generally maintained relatively to the package bottom to prevent the core from “walking-up” the wire coil and the core top being allowed to tilt as the wire exits the package. | 08-26-2010 |
| 20100262468 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING WELDING CONSUMABLES - A system and method for managing welding consumable(s) is provided. The invention includes a welder having a consumable(s) monitor, a customer system and/or a remote system. The invention further provides for monitoring of welding consumable(s) usage and ordering of welding consumable(s) from suppliers, distributors and/or manufacturers. The invention further provides for an optional arc/weld quality monitor that provides information regarding weld quality. The invention further provides for invoicing a customer for welding consumable(s) as the consumable(s) are used by the customer. The invention further provides for invoicing of customers for welding consumable(s) that produce acceptable welds. The invention further provides for remote management of customer welding consumable(s) inventory based at least in part upon information received regarding welding consumable(s) usage. The invention further provides for communication with a production component, financial accounting component and/or materials management component in order to facilitate automation of welding consumable(s) management. | 10-14-2010 |
| 20100270194 | RETAINER RING FOR A WIRE PACKAGE AND METHOD OF USING THE SAME - A retainer ring is provided for use in a welding wire package having looped magnetic welding wire. The ring is a flat sheet of flexible permanent magnet material with an outer periphery and an inner periphery and includes printed material on the ring which can be cut from the ring and affixed to any metal surface. | 10-28-2010 |

| 20100154214 | TURBINE WHEEL AND SHAFT JOINING PROCESSES - A process for joining a turbine wheel and a turbine shaft of a turbocharger comprising the steps of: providing a turbine wheel; providing a turbine shaft; holding the turbine shaft in a welding device; contacting the turbine shaft to the turbine wheel; energizing a pilot current; lifting the shaft a predetermined height from the turbine wheel to draw a pilot arc; energizing a weld arc current locally melting the shaft weld end and forming a weld pool on the wheel; plunging the shaft toward the wheel into the weld pool; turning off the current; and removing the welding device from the welded shaft. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100170880 | CAPACITOR CHARGE AND DISCHARGE CIRCUIT FOR FASTENER WELDING - A capacitor discharge (CD) fastener welding circuit including: an input voltage source; a rectifier bridge of diodes receiving the input voltage source; at least two capacitor charge switches linked with the rectifier bridge; at least one capacitor linked with the at least two capacitor charge switches; and at least two capacitor discharge switches linked with the capacitor and to welding output terminals. | 07-08-2010 |
| 20100176104 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ADAPTIVE GMAW SHORT CIRCUIT FREQUENCY CONTROL AND METHOD OF HIGH DEPOSITION ARC WELDING - An electric arc welding device for performing a pulse welding process by a current between an advancing electrode and workpiece where the welder comprises a short detecting circuit for creating a short signal upon occurrence of a short circuit between the advancing electrode and the workpiece and a boost circuit to create a plasma boost pulse after the short circuit is cleared during the time period when the welder is not outputting the peak pulse current. The peak pulse current to background current ratio is high and the duration of the peak pulse is short. | 07-15-2010 |
| 20100230389 | WAVEFORM CONTROL IN DRAWN ARC FASTENER WELDING - A drawn arc welding process that includes the steps of a) providing a welding device having a fastener, b) providing a power supply and controller linked with the welding tool, c) providing a work piece, d) energizing a main welding current in the welding tool locally melting the workpiece and forming a weld pool, e) changing the energizing current to a predetermined plunge current, and f) plunging the fastener into the locally melted workpiece at the predetermined plunge current forming a weld between the fastener and the work piece. | 09-16-2010 |
