Patent number: 9440314Abstract: A hybrid laser arc welding assembly including a gas metal arc welding torch and a laser arc welding laser head. The torch and laser head are disposed adjacent one another and aimed at targets of a pair of work pieces spaced from one another such that the melted material produced by the torch overlaps with the melted material produced by the laser head, and therefore, the torch and laser head combine to create a hybrid laser arc weld to join the work pieces. The laser head is adjustable dynamically relative to the work-pieces to optimize the hybrid laser arc weld.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2012Date of Patent: September 13, 2016Assignee: MAGNA INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Terry Devers, John E.

Patent number: 9321122Abstract: A spot welding tip for use in a spot welding machine includes a base portion having a longitudinal base axis that passes through a center of the base portion. A tip portion extends from the base portion and provides a contact surface. The tip portion includes a longitudinal tip axis that passes through a center of the tip portion and a center of the contact surface. The spot welding tip includes a transverse axis that is perpendicular to both the base axis and the tip axis. The base axis and the tip axis are parallel to one another and offset from one another by a length.

Patent number: 8264665Abstract: A cooled spider for grazing-incidence collectors includes an outer ring, an inner ring and spokes that mechanically and fluidly connect the inner and outer rings. Cooling channels in the outer and inner rings and in the spokes define a general cooling-fluid flow path through the spider. The general cooling-fluid flow path has input and output points located substantially 180° apart so that the flow path diverges at the input point into two branch flow paths that flow in opposite directions through the spider, and then converge at the output point. Input and output cooling fluid manifolds are fluidly connected to the outer ring at the input and output points and serve to flow cooling fluid over the cooling-fluid flow path.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2010Date of Patent: September 11, 2012Assignee: Media Lario, S.R.L.Inventors: John E. Hill, Robert J. Munns

Patent number: 8217300Abstract: A method of manufacturing a vehicle structure including a laser welded fastener includes positioning a first panel in engagement with a second panel to provide access to the first panel by a laser beam. The first panel is laser welded to the second panel. A fastener including projections axially extending from a first surface of a flange are formed. The projections are engaged with a surface of the first panel to space apart the first surface of the flange from the surface of the first panel. Laser welding is initiated by directing a laser beam toward one of the flange of the fastener and the first panel. Gas is vented from an area between the first surface of the flange and the surface of the first panel. The flange is laser welded to the first panel.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2009Date of Patent: July 10, 2012Assignee: Magna International Inc.Inventor: John E. Hill

Patent number: 7507335Abstract: A dendrimer complex comprising a dendrimer and an antimicrobial agent with the dendrimer complex placeable directly into a fluid to inhibit growth of microbes or rid the fluid of microbes. In a further embodiment of the invention the dendrimer complex is secured to a carrier, which is placed in a body of fluid and allowed to dispense the antimicrobial agent into the fluid. Once the antimicrobial agent is dispensed, the dendrimer complex can be removed and recycled to add functional groups to the dendrimer so that the dendrimer can be reused.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2007Date of Patent: March 24, 2009Assignee: KWG TechnologyInventors: Joseph A.
