Abstract: Disclosed is a method of welding dissimilar metals, including: preparing a dissimilar metal bus bar composed of a plate-shaped first member made of a first metal and a plate-shaped second member made of a second metal disposed under the first member; folding one side of the dissimilar metal bus bar so that a portion of the second member is located on a portion of the first member; welding a lead made of the first metal on the first member; and welding a lead made of the second metal to the second member located on the portion of the first member, thus solving cracking or corrosion problems of a conventional welding process and also welding an over-lay clad metal with leads, thereby generating economic benefits and increasing the convenience of the welding process.

Abstract: A crucible, a vacuum evaporation device and a vacuum evaporation system are disclosed. In one embodiment, the crucible includes a crucible body for accommodating an evaporation material therein, a nozzle disposed at a mouth of the crucible body, and a holding groove formed at the outer circumference of the nozzle and configured for accommodating the evaporation material overflowed from the nozzle therein, so that, the overflowed evaporation material (especially aluminum material) is prevented from falling into an interior of a heating source, avoiding damage to a heating element due to a short circuit, and meanwhile, condition of overflow of the evaporation material will be checked easily by observing the holding groove. The crucible according to some embodiments adopts a structural design with a large bottom and small mouth, improving heating area and evaporation rate of the evaporation material.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein describe systems and methods for a grill with hinged containers, wherein if the grill is opened then the hinged containers may be opened, and if the grill is closed then hinged containers may not be opened.

Abstract: A layered heater includes a resistive layer defining a resistive circuit pattern having at least one bend portion. A conductive overlay is provided on at least one of a top surface and a bottom surface of the bend portion to alleviate the current crowding effect, thereby protecting the electric circuit from premature failure. Methods of manufacturing the layered heater are also disclosed. The overlay may be formed on the bend portion after the resistive layer is formed. The overlay may also be formed on a substrate or a dielectric layer that supports the resistive layer before the resistive layer is formed.

Abstract: A laser cutting machine for cutting a workpiece having a first thickness (using a first processing laser beam having a first laser beam characteristic and a workpiece having a different second thickness using at least a second processing laser beam having a different second laser beam characteristic includes a laser source for producing a unprocessed laser beam having a laser wavelength of less than 4 ?m, a device which forms from the unprocessed laser beam the processing laser beams, and a control unit which controls the device in dependence on the thickness of the workpiece to be cut.

Abstract: A resistance spot welding method including: a pulsation process of clamping a sheet assembly of two or more overlapped steel sheets including at least one high tensile steel sheet using a pair of welding electrodes that are connected to a spot welding power source employing an inverter direct current method, and performing plural repetitions of current passing and current pass stopping, while pressing the steel sheets with the welding electrodes; and a continuous current pass process in which, after the pulsation process, current is passed continuously for a longer period of time than a maximum current pass time of the pulsation process, while pressing the steel sheets with the welding electrodes.

Abstract: A dual-torch welding system is disclosed. In one embodiment, the welding system includes a pair of torches positioned in an other than opposing arrangement to weld a substantially circular component therebetween, and a means for rotating the substantially circular component and the pair of torches relative to one another, allowing welding of the substantially circular component by the pair of torches.

Abstract: A steam generating system in an oven includes an external housing which encloses an oven chamber, a hot air channel where hot air is about to flow and a hot air inlet in the form of a series of openings in the wall of the oven chamber through which hot air is blown into the oven chamber, an exhaust outlet via which hot air is removed from the oven chamber and a door. The steam generating system includes a control unit adapted to control a baking or cooking procedure by generating control signals, and an elongated steam generating module horizontally arranged in the hot air channel, the steam generating module being rotatable along a longitudinal axis and including steam module elements. Each steam module element is elongated and includes one main surface provided with a generally flat extension, the steam generating elements are arranged in parallel above each other.

Abstract: A welding gun equipped with a retaining unit, which includes a first retaining member and a second retaining member, and retains a stationary gun arm and a movable gun arm. A retaining hole for retaining the stationary gun arm, guide grooves for insertion of rolling members provided on an arm holder that retains the movable gun arm, connecting member insertion holes into which connecting members connecting the first retaining member and the second retaining member are inserted, and a retained member insertion hole for inserting a retained member retained by a moving member that moves the retaining unit to a welding operation location, are formed in the first retaining member and the second retaining member, and the regions where these components are formed are set as thick-walled regions having a greater thickness than other regions. Thus, adequate rigidity is ensured while avoiding an increase in weight.
