Patent number: 9061841Abstract: A stacking device for assembling a slack of uniformly sized articles 1, has a receiving station for successively receiving said articles 1, and a lifting means to raise said articles from the receiving station to a stacking station The stacking station includes catching means 3 to catch and retain the articles in the stacking station, the catching means comprising at least two catchers 3 located on opposite sides of the station to engage opposite side edges of the article. The article 1 when being raised contacts the catchers 3 to displace the catchers to a closed position to enable the article to override the catchers 3 to move to a position above the catchers 3, the catchers 3 having biassing means to bias the catchers 3 back to an open position to engage and support the article 1 in the stacking station when the lifting means is withdrawn. The catchers 3 have a uniform cross-section and are pivotally mounted in a frame member 5 having a uniform cross-section.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2009Date of Patent: June 23, 2015Assignee: TMB PATTERNS LIMITEDInventors: Martin Baker, Guillaume Gourves

Patent number: 8518162Abstract: A method is described for treating gas exhaust from a polysilicon etch process, which uses a plasma abatement device to treat the gas. The device comprises a stainless steel gas chamber having a gas inlet for receiving the gas and a gas outlet. As the gas may contain a halocompound and water vapor, the chamber is heated to a temperature that inhibits adsorption of water on the surface within the chamber, thereby inhibiting corrosion of the gas chamber. The gas is then conveyed to the gas chamber for treatment, and the temperature of the chamber is maintained above said temperature during treatment of the gas.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2006Date of Patent: August 27, 2013Assignee: Edwards LimitedInventors: James Robert Smith, Andrew James Seeley, Derek Martin Baker, Marilena Radoiu

Publication number: 20060042083Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for repairing turbine blades of a gas turbine engine by a laser welding operation. The method uses a miniaturized laser and related apparatus. The miniaturized laser is fed through a borescope access hole to a desired location such as a high pressure turbine blade. The laser is then powered and manipulated so as to perform the desired welding operation. Filler material may also be provided in situ to accomplish the welding procedure. The method realizes a significant cost savings to the vehicle operator in that repairs can be accomplished without the need to remove the engine or disassemble the engine.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2004Publication date: March 2, 2006Inventors: Martin Baker, William Hehmann, Doug Puza, Srikanth Sankaranarayanan
