Abstract: A rod end is provided for an actuator for a turbocharger high temperature wastegate. The rod end includes a stem configured to fixedly engage an actuator rod, a socket secured to the stem, and a spherical bearing disposed within the socket. The bearing includes an outer member and an inner member disposed at least partially within the outer member. The inner member is misalignable and rotatable in relation to the outer member. An area of engagement is defined by an interface of an inner engagement surface of the outer member and an outer engagement surface of the inner member. The spherical bearing is configured to withstand temperatures in excess of 260° C. (500° F.).

Abstract: A seal for a bearing has an annular body includes polytetrafluoroethylene in a matrix including an elastomeric material. The seal includes a biasing member that is in communication with the seal for urging a portion of the seal radially inward.

Abstract: A machine readable medium having instructions stored thereon to cause the machine to execute a method is provided. The method includes analyzing a received client request and available statistics to determine whether the request is likely to succeed and whether the request should be bundled with other requests. If the request is determined to not be likely to succeed, an error message is outputted to the client. If the request is determined to be likely to succeed but should not be bundled with other requests, a first service provider relevant to the request is invoked. If the request is determined to be likely to succeed and should be bundled with other requests, the request is bundled with the other requests and, subsequently, the first and/or a second service provider relevant to the bundled requests is invoked. The available statistics are then updated.
