Publication number: 20240165732Abstract: A method for resistance welding at least three steel sheets, a weld structure produced by resistance welding at least three steel sheets and a method for determining weldability solutions when resistance welding at least three steel sheets in a stack are provided. By applying a layer of adhesive/sealer material between a thicker outer sheet of steel and an adjacent thicker inner sheet, thereby generating extra heat that increases penetration into a thinner outer sheet but with no layer of adhesive/sealer material between a thinner outer sheet and an adjacent thicker inner sheet, current density drop issues of a current process are addressed.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2022Publication date: May 23, 2024Applicant: GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS LLCInventors: Pei-Chung Wang, Anthony J. DiCocco, Zhenke Teng, Nicholas A. Brizes

Publication number: 20240157463Abstract: Methods and systems for joining multiple workpieces are provided. In one example, the method includes dispensing adhesive on a first workpiece. A second workpiece is contacted with the adhesive such that the adhesive is disposed between the first and second workpieces. Resistance heating is produced in the first and second workpieces at first processing conditions to partially cure the adhesive and affix the first and second workpieces together to form a partially cured, adhesive-joined workpiece assembly. The partially cured, adhesive-joined workpiece assembly is exposed to heat at second processing conditions to substantially fully cure the adhesive.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2022Publication date: May 16, 2024Applicant: GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS LLCInventors: Steven Cipriano, Pei-chung Wang, Zhenke Teng, Anthony V.

Patent number: 11983046Abstract: A portable information handling system pivots a hinge rotational axis as the hinge rotates housing portions between open and closed positions to manage a gap between the housing portions. For example, the hinge couples a base at a perimeter of one housing portion, the base having a many body that slides on sliding members of the base and that supports a bracket extending inward to couple to another housing portion. A bracket gear engages with a pinion gear included in the main body to translate bracket rotation through the pinion gear to a rack integrated in the base, thereby sliding the main body relative to the base as the housing portions rotate so that the distance between the housing portions adjusts with rotational orientation.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2021Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Anthony J. Sanchez, Michael J. Pescetto, Boris Draca, Hsin-Chung Chang, Jui-Hung Chang
