  • Publication number: 20240081473
    Abstract: A method for forming a molded article having an insert includes temporarily protecting features of the insert during a molding process using a malleable plugging material. In one step, the method includes disposing a plug including the plugging material within a receptacle of the insert, where each receptacle includes an engagement feature. The insert and the plugging material are placed into a mold, and a liquid molding material is applied to an exterior surface of the insert. The liquid molding material is solidified, forming the molded article including the insert embedded in the solidified molding material. The molded article is removed from the mold, and the plugging material is removed from the receptacle of the insert that is embedded in the molded article to expose the engagement feature.

  • Patent number: 11271798
    Abstract: A system may identify, by a first service, one or more faulted data links associated with a network device of the datacenter and update, by a second service, a configuration of the network device to remove data traffic from the identified one or more faulted data links based on a redundancy threshold associated with the network device. The system may also generate a repair ticket message associated with the identified one or more faulted data links and transmit test traffic across the identified one or more faulted data links while monitoring for a repair ticket resolution message associated with repairing the identified one or more faulted data links.

  • Patent number: 9401173
    Abstract: An apparatus, method, and computer readable medium for writing data on a highly indestructible material is disclosed. A laser may write data on a first side of a highly indestructible material. The data may then be marked as non-rewriteable. The data may also be written on a second side of the highly indestructible material, with the second side being opposite the first side. The highly indestructible material may comprise a stainless steel storage medium.

  • Publication number: 20100089257
    Abstract: A tyre tread compacting apparatus includes a carrier for carrying a part of a tyre to be disposed of, the carrier having a pair of opposed sides. A mounting arrangement is arranged on a first side of the carrier for mounting on a support formation. A coiling mechanism is arranged on an opposed, second side of the carrier for coiling the part of a tyre to be disposed of into a compacted form. A tyre coiling tool is provided to be arranged in juxtaposition to the carrier to provide mechanical advantage to assist in coiling the part of the tyre about the coiling mechanism.

  • Publication number: 20080171675
    Abstract: This invention relates to basestocks and base oils with improved low temperature properties and formulated lubricant compositions or functional fluids created by blending at least one such lube basestock with at least one component selected from dispersants, detergents, wear inhibitors, antioxidants, rust inhibitors, demulsifiers, extreme pressure agents, friction modifiers, multifunction additives, viscosity index improvers, pour point depressants, and foam inhibitors. In particular the invention relates to dewaxed lube basestocks having a Free Carbon Index of less than 4.3 and an Epsilon Carbon mole % of less than 14%. Formulated engine oils using such dewaxed basestocks exhibit improved low temperature properties as may be measured by the Mini Rotary Viscometer test.

  • Publication number: 20050011954
    Abstract: According to the invention, a multilayered image sensor is back mounted to a plate, and the plate in turn, is installed in a holding pocket of a device. In that the scheme takes advantage of a high controllability of a mounting plate's thickness, the mounting scheme provides a tight control of holding forces with which an image sensor is secured in an imaging device. In that the scheme provides for back mounting of image sensor on a planar surface, the mounting system provides tight control of an imaging assembly's pixel plane to fixed point in space distance.
