  • Fluid conduit system and fittings therefor
    Patent number: 7516990
    Abstract: A fluid conduit system that employs fittings having ends with a structural portion and a seal portion. The ends of the fittings are inserted into a tube, which may be a hard, i.e., rigid, or soft, i.e., flexible, tube. The seal portion sealingly engages the inner diameter of the tube upon its insertion into the tube. The tube is deformed to prevent the fitting from being withdrawn from the tube; the portion of the tube in the immediate vicinity of each seal that forms the seal portion is not deformed. A method for forming a fluid conduit system is also provided.

  • Laser alignment method and apparatus
    Patent number: 7197415
    Abstract: A method for setting or calibrating a machine tool wherein the critical components the machine tool are identified as are the critical devices that are employed to affect their position and each of the possible positions to which each of the critical devices may be set. Possible combinations consisting of one possible position for each of the critical devices are evaluated to identify the possible combinations that adversely effect the output of the machine tool. A method for calibrating an extrusion press and a tooling set for obtaining data to calibrate an extrusion press are also provided.
