Patent number: 11953496Abstract: The invention provides a method for selecting a color for a chemistry or instrument based upon a parameter of a test, the method including: identifying a color corresponding to a parameter of a test for the parameter; selecting, if the color corresponding to the parameter has not previously been used for another parameter, the color for designating a chemistry or an instrument as corresponding to the parameter; selecting, if the color corresponding to the parameter has previously been used for another parameter, a different color other than the color for designating a chemistry or an instrument as corresponding to the parameter, wherein the selecting a color other than the color comprises identifying a color having a measure of change in visual perception of the different color against other previously selected colors a predetermined value from the other previously selected colors; and utilizing the selected colors for parameters across both chemistries (102, 104, 105) and instruments (101, 103) that are utilType: GrantFiled: August 19, 2020Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: HACH COMPANYInventors: Michael Jonathan Tschampl, Peter Michalski, Reece W.

Patent number: 6843867Abstract: A method of austempering of steel parts is described. The steel parts are initially austenitized and subsequently quenched to a start temperature which is higher than the martensite start temperature. Then the steel parts are subjected to a first isothermal holding at the start temperature for a first time period. Subsequently the steel parts are held for a second isothermal time period at a finish temperature which is higher than the start temperature. The method described is particularly well suited for rapid austempering of steel parts, a pure bainitic structure being achievable, and the core hardness of the steel parts obtained being settable via the start temperature, the finish temperature, the duration of the first time period, and the duration of the second time period.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2000Date of Patent: January 18, 2005Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Lothar Foerster, Michael Michalski, Andreas Becht, Karl-Otto Englert, Michael Czeringer

Patent number: 6731991Abstract: A method and system of projecting light on a planar surface to produce an image for tracing is disclosed. The system includes a projector that has a light source and a signal conditioner that is operably connected to the projector. A computer is operably connected to the signal conditioner. A scanner is connected to the projector. A test pattern from the computer is projected from the projector through the scanners to visually align an image to a sector on a work surface. A grid is operably aligned with the work surface. A geometric pattern from the computer is then projected by the projector on the planar work surface for tracing. The method comprises the steps of creating a pattern, tracing lines along the pattern on the planar work surface, cutting the pattern along the traced lines, discarding pieces of the planar surface outside the pattern, and placing edging along an outer edge of the pattern.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2000Date of Patent: May 4, 2004Assignee: Laser Force, Inc.Inventors: Michael Michalski, Christopher J. Stuart, Dennis D. Holpfer
