  • Reconditioned harmonic balancer
    Patent number: 12618358
    Abstract: A reconditioned harmonic balancer to replace a worn out or damaged harmonic balancer that is not available otherwise. The reconditioned harmonic balancer includes two or more pieces of metal held together with a cleaned hub, a cleaned inertia ring, a plurality of new elastomer material, a plurality of timing marks that need to be located on a keyway indicator at a precise location, and a plurality of mounting apertures. The timing marks are engraved, single-notched hash marks, or are painted on an outer surface of the cleaned inertia ring. The mounting apertures are disposed on the cleaned hub to secure the reconditioned harmonic balancer to a crankshaft of a vehicle.

  • Thin edge-lit LED backlight panel and light guide
    Patent number: 8529113
    Abstract: A backlight sufficiently bright to be useful as a backlight for a high definition LCD television panel, or other types of visual display screens is disclosed. An LED wide enough to provide adequate light energy is used. The light energy is directed into a thin substrate panel via a tapered aperture port, and released toward a viewing surface in a uniform manner due to light guide disrupters calculated to optimize the output pattern.
