Abstract: Provided is a method for manufacturing a stainless steel ball stud for an automotive suspension system, which includes: a forging and molding step of forging and molding a cylindrical shaped stainless material blank with the same top and bottom diameters by using a progressive press machine to operate a number of mold dies simultaneously and to move a forged mold product of a preceding die to a succeeding die, to make a forged mold product; a male thread shaping step of shaping a male thread on the forged mold product; and a cutting and surface finishing/burnishing step of cutting the forged mold product by using one ball stud processing machine such that a head part is cut at exact dimensions, a neck part and a washer part are shaped and the surface finishing/burnishing work to the head part is performed to complete the stainless steel ball stud for an automotive suspension system.

Abstract: An autonomous hydraulic expansion and contraction apparatus comprises a fixing unit, a cylinder unit, a support unit, a piston unit, a valve unit and oil supply parts. By controlling the expansion and contraction length of the support part by a simple manipulation of the valve part by moving the lever, the autonomous hydraulic expansion and contraction apparatus can be easily expanded and contracted to the combined length of the expansion and contraction equipment, and additionally, the convenience of use can be enhanced.

Abstract: Provided is a wastewater treatment apparatus for removing nitrogen and phosphorus having an anaerobic tank, an anoxic tank, an aerobic tank and a clarifier, wherein the aerobic tank includes has a baffle installed at one side thereof to form a dissolved oxygen reducing zone for reducing the concentration of dissolved oxygen contained in internally recycled wastewater returned from a dissolved oxygen reducing zone while increasing the concentration of dissolved oxygen contained in treated effluent supplied from a part other than the dissolved oxygen reducing zone of the aerobic tank to a clarifier in a subsequent stage. Since organic matter present in wastewater is effectively used, the efficiency of removing nitrogen and phosphorus can be increased and the amounts of oxygen required throughout the treatment process and organic matter required for denitrification can be reduced. Also, synthesis of cells of microorganisms is suppressed. Therefore, the repair and maintenance costs can be reduced.

Abstract: A self-supporting type pneumatic run-flat tire is optimized in location and gauge of insert rubber at sidewalls, thereby enhancing run-flat and expansion capabilities. The self-supporting type pneumatic run-flat tire comprises an insert and bead rubber composition which comprises syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene in order to enhance run-flat capability.

Abstract: A run flat tire has a plurality of reinforcing wedges located in the tire sidewall with the hardness of each wedge generally diminishing in the radially inward direction of the sidewall. Since the bead filler is harder than the radial innermost wedge, the hardness at generally the top of the bead filler increases in the radial inward direction. The reinforcing wedges partially overlap each other and can generally have any configuration. The changing of hardness of the radial wedges results in a wedge sequence and thus a more even strain distribution throughout the tire sidewall. This strain distribution extends the run flat life of the tire and also provides a good balance with other tire performance parameters.
