20120327539 | ASSEMBLY OF ELECTRIC MOTOR STARTER COMPONENTS - Techniques disclosed herein include systems and methods for assembly of electric motor starter connecting packages that enable increased automation and reduced assembly via top-down assembly of circuit components, thereby allowing robotic placement, connection, and securing of circuit components. The connecting package can include an electric motor starter, with optional overload protector, packaged as one unit. The motor starter can include an electrical circuit containing a triac, current transformer, Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) element, resistor, and a capacitor. A cover and base of the connecting package enclose and firmly secure connected circuit elements without needing a circuit board or filler material. The device design enables quick testing of the motor starter circuit and circuit elements after being enclosed by the housing. | 12-27-2012 |

20080197577 | Integrated Exhaust Manifold and Cylinder Head Gasket - A gasket assembly for an internal combustion engine having a cylinder head gasket and an exhaust manifold gasket. The cylinder head gasket and the exhaust manifold gasket have a common layer of gasket material. The gasket assembly is formed by stamping a cylinder head gasket portion for the engine in one region of a common layer of gasket material concurrently with stamping an exhaust gasket portion for the engine in an adjacent region of the common layer of material. | 08-21-2008 |
20100242278 | INTEGRATED EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND CYLINDER HEAD GASKET - A gasket assembly for an internal combustion engine having a cylinder head gasket and an exhaust manifold gasket. The cylinder head gasket and the exhaust manifold gasket have a common layer of gasket material. The gasket assembly is formed by stamping a cylinder head gasket portion for the engine in one region of a common layer of gasket material concurrently with stamping an exhaust gasket portion for the engine in an adjacent region of the common layer of material. | 09-30-2010 |

20150097832 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MESH LEVEL OF DETAIL GENERATION - A system method for applying hierarchical mesh partitioning and reduction to provide efficient run-time rendering includes bounding a mesh to define a mesh volume, recursively subdividing the mesh volume a number of times, and reducing the mesh the number of times the mesh volume was subdivided to generate a plurality of level of detail meshes. The plurality of level of detail meshes is equal to the number of times the mesh volume was subdivided. Each level of detail mesh is then partitioned based on the number of times the mesh volume was subdivided. | 04-09-2015 |
