20090069948 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING FLUID FLOW - A method for controlling the flow of fluid in an appliance includes permitting a fluid to flow to an appliance for a first length of time, measuring a volume of the fluid flowing to the appliance during the first length of time, determining a second length of time based on the volume of fluid measured during the first length of time and a final volume of fluid to be provided to the appliance, permitting the fluid to flow to the appliance for the second length of time, and preventing the fluid from flowing to the appliance upon expiration of the second length of time. | 03-12-2009 |
20100283359 | INSTALLATION SYSTEM AND DOOR POSITIONING DEVICE FOR APPLIANCES - An appliance comprises a body and a door panel and/or drawer panel movable between a home position, an open position, and an over-travel position. A cosmetic panel may be coupled to the door and/or drawer panel. The appliance may further include an installation system and/or a positioning device. The positioning device is configured to bias the door and/or drawer panels to the home position from the over-travel position. The installation system is configured to establish the front-to-back alignment of the appliance. The installation system may be a direct mount installation system. The installation system may include an adjustment system configured to facilitate positioning the cosmetic panel to be co-planar with the surrounding cabinetry. The adjustment mechanism may further help establish small and consistent reveals. | 11-11-2010 |

20080286496 | Method for depositing electrically insulating layers - The invention relates to a method for operating an arc source, whereby an electric spark discharge is ignited and run on the surface of a target and the spark discharge is simultaneously fed a direct current with an associated constant voltage DV as well as a pulsed current generated by a periodically applied voltage signal. The voltage at the arc source is boosted over several microseconds and the shape of the voltage signal is in essence arbitrarily selectable. | 11-20-2008 |
20080286608 | CUTTING TOOL - The invention provides a single or a multilayer PVD coated sharp edged cutting tool, which can at the same time exhibit satisfactory wear and thermochemical resistance as well as resistance to edge chipping. The cutting tool comprises a sintered body made of a cemented carbide, a CBN, a cermet or a ceramic material having a cutting edge with an edge radius R | 11-20-2008 |
20090166188 | METHOD FOR DEPOSITING ELECTRICALLY INSULATING LAYERS - Method for producing low-conductivity layers, especially insulating layers, on at least one workpiece by vacuum coating, wherein an electrical arc discharge is operated between at least one anode and one cathode of an arc source in an atmosphere containing reactive gas, and only a small external magnetic field essentially perpendicular to the target surface or none at all is generated at the surface of a target electrically connected to the cathode to assist the evaporation process, the degree of recoating of the surface by other coating sources being less than 10%, and the magnetic field being generated by a magnet system that comprises at least one axially polarized coil with a geometry similar in size to the target. | 07-02-2009 |
20110183084 | LAYER SYSTEM WITH AT LEAST ONE MIXED CRYSTAL LAYER OF A MULTI-OXIDE - A PVD layer system for the coating of workpieces encompasses at least one mixed-crystal layer of a multi-oxide having the following composition: (Me1 | 07-28-2011 |
