  • Publication number: 20240011249
    Abstract: A work implement for a construction machine includes a collection member, a first side wall, a second side wall, and a plate member coupled to the collection member, the first side wall, and the second side wall. The collection member, the first side wall, the second side wall, and the plate member together define a hollow space. Further, at least one of the first side wall, the second side wall, and the plate member define an opening that communicates with the hollow space. The work implement further includes a sensor mounting system including a cover, a plurality of mechanical fasteners adapted to couple the cover with the work implement, and a sensor mounted on the cover. Upon coupling of the cover with the first side wall, the sensor is partially received within the hollow space.

  • Patent number: 10773034
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an inhaler device for delivering a dose of medicament in dry powder form from a container to a patient in need thereof. The inhaler comprises first and second airflow paths (80, 85) which are arranged such that during inhalation, a capsule (40) having a longitudinal axis and first and second end sections (90, 95) delimiting the capsule on opposing ends located in a capsule chamber (30) performs an oscillating movement in the capsule chamber parallel to its longitudinal axis between first and second sidewall portions (60, 65) of the capsule chamber.

  • Patent number: 9957689
    Abstract: A tilt bucket may include a front structure having an outer surface, the front structure including a base plate with a bottom surface. The tilt bucket may include a bottom edge and a curved wrapper extending between the base plate and the bottom edge. A ratio of a maximum distance between the curved wrapper and a first line extending from the bottom edge to the tangent point on the outer surface of the front structure, taken substantially perpendicularly from the first line, relative to a length of the first line, may be about 0.64 to 0.70.

  • Patent number: 7802459
    Abstract: A bender for conduit which may make ninety degree bends in a length of conduit. The bender includes a bending frame, a bending deck, a rising shoe assembly and a traveling shoe assembly. A length of conduit is oriented parallel to the bending deck and then a desired portion of the conduit inserted into the traveling shoe assembly and a corresponding portion of the conduit is inserted into the rising shoe assembly. The rising shoe assembly is translated along an axis substantially perpendicular to the bending deck. The traveling shoe assembly is then translated along an axis substantially parallel to the bending deck. The complimentary translations of the rising shoe assembly and traveling shoe assembly cooperatively make a ninety degree bend in the conduit.

  • Publication number: 20020115263
    Abstract: A method of processing a substrate includes depositing a glass bonding layer on a first surface of one of either a substrate or a handle wafer, positioning the handle wafer in contact with the substrate via the bonding layer, and heating the substrate, bonding layer, and handle wafer at a temperature below about 425° C. to bond the handle wafer to the substrate. The bonding layer adjoining the substrate and handle wafer is formed of a non-silicate glass that is substantially unsusceptible to outgassing in ultrahigh vacuum environments and is impervious to substantial chemical and structural degradation during thermal processing at temperatures at least up to about 500° C.
