Publication number: 20030188633Abstract: An engine piston (10) comprising a crown (12) and a tubular body portion (30) containing gudgeon pin bosses (46) and force transmitting regions (66) has the body portion forged, preferably of steel, as two or more circumferentially incomplete segments (1001, 1002) which extend about a longitudinal piston axis (14) and are joined into the tubular form by welding or the like. The segments are forged in a direction perpendicularly to the piston axis which permits the formation of regions of differing wall thickness along the tubular body length and mass saving recesses (70) between force transmitting struts (661) and (662) that are not possible with forging a unitary tubular body from one end.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2003Publication date: October 9, 2003Inventors: Walter Joseph Griffiths, Kenneth John Street

Patent number: 5383289Abstract: A drying system for drying textiles. The textile drying system includes an enclosed dryer having heating elements located therein, a feed system for continuously feeding textiles through the dryer, and a dehumidifier for directing conditioned air into the dryer. The textiles are dried in the dryer due to a combination of the heating elements located in the dryer and the conditioned air directed into the dryer by the dehumidifier. The dehumidifier conditions the ambient air to a selected temperature and relative humidity, and directs this air into the dryer. An exhaust port located in the dryer provides an opening for air within the dryer to exit to the atmosphere. The speed at which textiles are advanced through the dryer by the feed system is controlled by a moisture sensor which senses the moisture content of the textile goods exiting the dryer 12 and controls the speed of the feed system accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 1993Date of Patent: January 24, 1995Assignee: Sara Lee CorporationInventors: Phillip S. Webb, Andrew R. Messner, John A. Street, Richard S. Gardner
