  • Patent number: 9796066
    Abstract: A method for distributing a coolant to a grinding site of a grinding wheel, including rotating the grinding wheel, injecting the coolant in an inlet of the grinding wheel disposed proximate to an axis of rotation of the grinding wheel, moving the coolant fluid from the inlet along a plurality of internal grooves of the grinding wheel outwardly towards a plurality of outlets, and expelling the coolant outwardly from the plurality of outlets at an angle of at most 15 degrees with respect to a tangent to a circumference of the grinding wheel at the outlet.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9302369
    Abstract: A grinding wheel including an impeller structure for circulating coolant within the wheel defining a plurality of grooves. An angle between a second wall of each groove and a tangent to the outer circumference adjacent the groove outlet is defined based on the desired coolant flow rate, the predetermined wheel rotational speed, the radius of the outer circumference of the impeller structure, the combined surface area of the groove outlets, and a desired angle of exit of the coolant being at most 15 degrees. Also, a wheel is disclosed where the angle of the second wall of each groove is defined based on the desired coolant flow rate, the combined surface area of the groove outlets, the tangential speed of the wheel, and a value of n being at least 0.9 and less than 1. A method for distributing a coolant to a grinding site is also discussed.

  • Patent number: 9249553
    Abstract: The system makes it possible to control and treat gas emanations inside a wastewater access shaft. The system includes a cover with at least one pivoting part, which is normally closed, having a substantially horizontal rotation axis and able to allow solid and/or liquid matter falling onto the main upper surface of the cover to pass toward the bottom of the access shaft. The cover also includes a raised part that has at least one lateral wall and includes a plurality of orifices situated vertically above the main upper surface of the cover. The orifices define an outlet of a gas-emanations circuit formed between the underside and the top of the cover. An air filter is arranged across the circuit. The filter is moistened by a liquid that comes from a reservoir in order to treat the emanations.

  • Patent number: 7757121
    Abstract: A system and method for requirement driven interoperability/compliance testing of Hardware and Software in a distributed environment. Three modules are configured as a default system: a test definition, a SUT definition and a test result. A series of tree elements are coupled to represent requirements to test case mapping. Test cases are executed and components in the system are assigned with test results while requirements coverage is computed. Auto-detection of additional parts and test cases enables validity checking of the requirement to test case tree and reports are generated.
