Abstract: An article includes a substrate comprising a precipitate-strengthened alloy and a coating disposed over the substrate. The alloy comprises a) a population of gamma-prime precipitates, the population having a multimodal size distribution with at least one mode corresponding to a size of less than about 100 nanometers; or b) a population of gamma-double-prime precipitates having a median size less than about 300 nanometers. The coating comprises at least two elements, and further comprises a plurality of prior particles. At least a portion of the coating is substantially free of rapid solidification artifacts. Methods for fabricating the article and for processing powder useful for fabricating the article are also provided.

Abstract: Fuel receptacles and related systems are described that are tamper resistant. A fuel receptacle can include a housing having an opening through which fuel contained therein may be delivered to a fuel consuming device along a fuel path and a biased element. The biased element can be contained with the housing having an orifice and a notch and it can sealing the opening when biased into a first position. The fuel consuming device can contain a protruding member to contact the notch and cause the biased element to move along a plane perpendicular to the fuel path into a second position when the fuel receptacle is coupled to the fuel consuming device. The second position can cause the orifice to be aligned with the opening thereby permitting fuel to be delivered to the fuel consuming device along the fuel path.

Abstract: A trim pad assembly covers a watershield and a door frame of an automobile. The automobile includes a passenger compartment accessible via the door frame. The door frame defines an inboard door contour. The trim pad assembly includes an inboard decorative surface facing the passenger compartment when the door frame is in the closed position. The trim pad assembly also includes an outboard surface defining a periphery and a trim pad contour. The periphery is fixedly secured to the door frame. The trim pad contour differs from the inboard door contour. A support channel is fixedly secured to the outboard surface and extending outwardly therefrom. The support channel defines a support contour that compliments the inboard door contour such that the watershield is fixedly secured to the support channel and seals the watershield against the door frame.
