Abstract: Powder-delivery apparatus for delivering powdered cladding-material into the vicinity of a laser-beam spot includes a plurality of powder-delivery modules. Each of the modules is arranged to receive the cladding-material and deliver the cladding-material through a plurality of nozzles. The position of the nozzles in the modules with respect to the laser-beam spot is adjustable in three Cartesian axes. The modules are selectively removable from, and attachable to the apparatus. Nozzles in any one of the modules can be selectively prevented from delivering cladding-material.

Abstract: A system for monitoring compressor anomalies includes an acoustic energy detector connected to the compressor and a controller in communication with the acoustic energy detector. The acoustic energy detector transmits an acoustic energy signal reflective of acoustic energy produced by the compressor to the controller. At least one sensor connected to the compressor measures an operating parameter of the compressor and transmits a parameter signal reflective of the operating parameter to the controller, A method for monitoring compressor anomalies includes sensing acoustic energy produced by the compressor and transmitting an acoustic energy signal reflective of the acoustic energy to a controller. The method further includes sensing at least one operating parameter of the compressor, transmitting a parameter signal reflective of the operating parameter to the controller, and transmitting an output signal based on the acoustic energy signal and the operating parameter signal.

Abstract: A system and method for recharging secondary batteries. One embodiment of the present invention comprises a supervisory circuit, a voltage converter, a portable power source, and one or more of a holder and a socket. The holder is adapted to receive a specific type of secondary battery of a portable device. The socket is adapted to mate with a plug of a device-specific charging cord connected to the portable device. Each of the holder and the plug can be associated with a programming resistor that provides a voltage requirement of the secondary battery. When the secondary battery is either placed in the holder or is connected to the socket, the supervisory circuit communicates with the voltage converter to supply the appropriate voltage required to recharge the secondary battery. The voltage converter receives power from the portable power source. The voltage converter can convert the voltage of the portable power source up (i.e., increasing the voltage) or down (i.e.

Abstract: This invention relates to an automatic or self plumbing device and method for maintaining survey or data collection or reflection equipment in a vertical plumb position despite horizontal and/or vertical changes of position of the device or vehicle with the device attached thereto. The invention also provides a means for maintaining survey or data collection or reflection equipment in a vertical plumb position and at a constant height above ground or surface to be surveyed. The invention provides a means for mounting or attaching the device to a vehicle or other mobile prime mover and a means for remotely changing the position of the device mounted on the vehicle from within the vehicle for accurate, efficient, and timely collection of data while the device and vehicle are stationary or in motion.

Abstract: A one piece end plug (120, 124) for use in a three part ceramic arc tube comprises a cylindrical head portion of a diameter suitable for insertion into a cylindrical body portion and a circular leg portion formed on the head portion so as to be coaxial therewith and tapering inwardly from the head portion outwards, the whole having a through aperture for receipt of electrodes and being formed of single ceramic pressing.

Abstract: The present invention provides a liquid formulation comprising a strobilurin fungicide, such as azoxystrobin, at least one non-ionic surfactant, at least one anionic surfactant and a solvent/carrier.

Abstract: A package is provided having a rotatable closure equipped with dispensing orifices. The orifices overlie a neck portion having indentations spaced about its inner edge and which when aligned with the dispensing orifices provide access to the contents of the package. The closure includes an inner annular skirt which has axial slots about its outer periphery. The slots direct the flow of the container contents through the neck indentations and out the orifices when the closure is rotated to an open position. When the closure is in a closed position, the orifices will be located above flat areas on the top edge of the container neck.The closure includes a downwardly depending inner wall having engagement means for rotatably connecting the closure to the container neck.
