Abstract: A welding tool for holding two or more welding elements at at an interior joint and an exterior joint. wherein: the welding tool comprises one or more magnets and one or more plates. The one or more plates comprises an an “L” shape having an angle between a first arm and a second arm. The first arm and the second arm is collectively referred to as two arms. The one or more magnets are ferromagnetic. each among the two arms comprises a distal end and a proximate end with each the proximate end joined together at an elbow portion. each among the two arms comprises an arm length, an arm width and an arm thickness. The welding tool comprises the two arms being arranged at a right angle at the angle.

Abstract: The system and method of producing a first path comprising a pulse stretcher for a mid-wave infrared (MWIR) signal, an optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification (OPCPA) amplifier, and a MWIR compressor for producing a first beam in a MWIR portion of the spectrum and a second path comprising a pulse stretcher for a long wave infrared (LWIR) signal, an OPCPA amplifier, and a LWIR compressor for producing a second beam in a LWIR portion of the spectrum. Each beam, on its own, is configured to produce laser-matter interactions at long range (100s of meters), having nonlinear effects and favoring supercontinuum generation spanning multiple octaves, that is temporally and spatially overlapped with the fundamental laser beam.

Abstract: The present invention provides a clean closed loop fluid transport system and methods for recycling low absorbance liquid alkanes. The alkanes can be advantageously employed as immersion liquids in the production of electronic or integrated optical circuit elements by photolithographic methods employing ultraviolet wavelengths.

Abstract: An embodiment provides a shift inhibitor apparatus. At least a portion of the range actuating assembly is moveable between a range first ratio and a range second ratio. The portion of the range actuating assembly is moveable, at least in part, in response to a fluid pressure. The range chamber is selectively in fluid communication with a vent. The shift inhibitor includes a main section neutral interlock having an interlock chamber. At least a portion of the main section neutral interlock is moveable between a first condition and a second condition. The interlock chamber is selectively in fluid communication with the vent. The range chamber can be exhausted such that the range section is selectively switched from the first ratio to the second ratio. The interlock chamber can be exhausted such that the main section neutral interlock is selectively switched from the first condition to the second condition.

Abstract: A control for enhanced range shifting in a computer (48) assisted vehicular compound transmission having a main section (16A) shifted by a manually operated shift lever (31) and a range section (16B) shifted in response to operation of a range shift selector, such as sensing shift lever (31) passing through a predetermined actuation point (AR) in the shift pattern. During a compound up-shift, if the vehicle reaches a speed greater than a predetermined value during a coasting condition and the shift lever is in a low range neutral position, then the range section up-shift is automatically completed without undue wear or damage to the range section synchronized clutch (130). It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. 37 CFR 1.
