Abstract: A freewheel clutch includes a race including circumferentially spaced notches, each including first and second flanks, and a pawl including a leg having relatively radial inner and outer surfaces, side surfaces extending between the radial inner and outer surfaces, a thickness between the radial inner and outer surfaces, and a width between the side surfaces greater than the thickness. The pawl also includes a knuckle at a forward portion of the leg and having a forward end surface engageable with one of the flanks of the notches of the race in a detent position of the pawl with respect to the race, and being configured in cooperation with the notches of the race to restrain the pawl from advancing into the detent position at rotational speeds exceeding a detent-blocking rotational speed of the race relative to the pawl.

Abstract: A multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) tester includes a power supply source and a station. The station can include at least one test head having a first contact and a second contact arranged and configured to simultaneously electrically connect to a common MLCC transported to a test site, and arc suppression source circuitry. The arc suppression source circuitry can be electrically connected between an output of the power supply source and the first contact, wherein the arc suppression source circuitry is configured to introduce an impedance to the electrical connection between the MLCC and the power supply source.

Abstract: The present invention relates to laser marking articles. In particular it relates to laser marking articles by laser ablating a coating applied to the article which reveals the surface of the article underneath, thereby forming the mark by the contrasting appearance between the revealed surface of the article and the adjacent remaining coating. Laser parameters are selected to provide uniform, commercially desirable appearance and avoid damage to the underlying surface while maintaining acceptable system throughput. In particular the laser pulse envelope is tailored to provide desirable appearance while maintaining acceptable system throughput.
