| 20120095581 | COMPUTERIZED SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING SUPPLY CHAIN ORDERS - A computerized system and method for supply chain order aids a manufacturer's production control departments in setting manufacturer production schedules and purchase schedules. A computerized production control system in communication with a computerized ordering system presents a consistent demand level to reduce changes to the purchase and delivery schedules. A next day production schedule is adjusted to keep total demand within the supply chain constant. At the end of a production day, actual production is compared to an original production plan to calculate an adjustment value. The adjustment value is applied to the next day's production schedule to revise the production schedule. If the actual number of units produced is lower than the planned number of units, units are added to the next day's purchase schedule to determine a revised purchase schedule. Other adjustments may be made if the actual number of units produced exceeds the planned number of units. | 04-19-2012 |

| 20080203678 | Jointed head with temporary clamp for stirling machine allowing head access during testing and facilitating subsequent close-out welding - A clamping apparatus for allowing pre-close-out access to the head of a Stirling machine and facilitating subsequent close-out welding of the head. The head is axially separable into removable and fixed portions, each portion having an end that engages the other. Each portion has an annular flange extending radially outwardly at its engaging end, and each flange has an annular groove. O-rings are seated in the grooves. A temporary sealing ring surrounds and engages the O-rings. Clamping rings, having axially facing end surfaces along their interfacing axial edges, seat against axially opposite sides of the abutting annular flanges. The clamping rings have a plurality of holes spaced annularly around the rings and the holes of one ring are axially aligned with the holes in the other. Fasteners pass through each pair of holes and draw the rings together when tightened, thereby drawing the fixed and removable portions of the head together and securing them against relative axial movement. For close-out of the machine, the clamping rings, temporary sealing ring, and O-rings are removed and the grooved annular flanges serve as weld reliefs for final hermetic close-out welding. | 08-28-2008 |
