  • Patent number: 4897929
    Abstract: In a switching multi-coordinate probe an accurate and accurately reproducible switching behavior is attained by a plurality of seating points, which all have the same elasticity but also a relatively high stiffness. The bearing members (14) and their counterbearing support members (16) exhibit an adequate number of degress of freedom, in order to be able to accurately align themselves with respect to each other during assembly. After adjustment the contact zones of the individual bearing members (14) form with their counterbearing support members (16) circular lines, which all lie in one plane with respect to the stylus axis (FIG. 1).

  • Patent number: 4729347
    Abstract: A hung combustion chamber for internal combustion engines comprising a cylinder and detachable cooling jacket welded to a cylinder head. The cylinder and the cooling jacket are within a cylinder block, but unsupported by the cylinder block. Coolant is supplied to the jacket by a non-rigid connection. The hung combustion chamber contains the combustion gas pressures and temperatures while the jacket contains the coolant flows, eliminating many gaskets, seals, attachment and alignment components. The simplified one-piece chamber construction and limited number of components reduce stress concentration points and hot spots. The hung combustion chamber is particularly applicable to the retrofitting of existing worn diesel engines in heavy duty service environments.
