20100083938Marine Carbon Canister - A fuel tank vent system includes a carbon canister and an engine fuel system coupled to the carbon canister. Fuel vapor discharged from a fuel tank included in the engine fuel system flows during certain conditions into the carbon canister to encounter charcoal stored in the carbon canister. Hydrocarbon material associated with the discharged fuel vapor is captured by the charcoal and a stream of cleaned vapor is discharged from the carbon canister to the atmosphere.04-08-2010

20080292066Telephone handset coupling system - A telephone handset that includes both a speaker and a secondary flux coil is provided. The secondary flux coil provides improved inductive coupling between the handset and a hearing aid. Due to the wiring configuration of the handset, the speaker and the secondary flux coil can be independently filtered, thus providing means for independently optimizing the performance of both the speaker and the secondary flux coil. Suitable filters include both passive circuits and digital signal processors.11-27-2008

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080257518Piston Mold Assembly and Method of Constructing a Piston Therewith - A mold assembly for forming a piston and method of molding a piston therewith includes a pair of mold halves moveable toward and away from one another along a linear path that is substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal central axis of the piston between an engaged position to provide at least a portion of a mold cavity for forming an outer periphery of the piston and a disengaged position to allow extraction of the piston from the mold cavity. The assembly also has a pair of cooling gallery mandrels moveable along a linear path into an engaged position between the pair of mold halves to form an undercut cooling gallery of the piston. The pair of cooling gallery mandrels are movable to a disengaged position to allow extraction of the piston vertically along the axis.10-23-2008

20110113956PISTON HAVING TWISTED SKIRT PANELS - A piston assembly is disclosed herein. The piston assembly is integrally formed and unitary and is centered on a central longitudinal axis. The piston assembly includes a head with ring belt having a plurality of ring grooves. The piston assembly also includes first and second skirts, each having a top edge and a bottom edge being radially narrower than the top edge. The skirts also include first and second side edges. The piston assembly also includes first and second pin bosses spaced radially inward from the ring belt to define a short-pin support arrangement. The pin bosses include respective first and second pin bores axially aligned on a pin bore axis perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis. The piston assembly also includes a plurality of panels, each extending between one of the pin bosses and one of the skirts. Each of the panels include a top portion spaced closest to the head and bottom portion spaced furthest the head and a middle portion disposed substantially equally spaced from the top and bottom portions. Each of the panels twists along its length such that a ratio defined by a first distance between the top portion and a first plane perpendicular to the pin bore axis over a second distance between the bottom portion and the first plane increases along at least part of the length.05-19-2011
