  • Patent number: 10247129
    Abstract: A cylinder liner for an engine block that includes an inter-bore saw cut includes a first engine block bonding surface, and a second engine block bonding surface that has a lower level of bonding between the cylinder liner and an engine block than the first engine block bonding surface. The second engine block bonding surface extending from an axial end portion of the liner a distance greater than a depth of the saw cut in inter-bore section of the engine block.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8312914
    Abstract: A mold for forming a plurality of rotors includes a plurality of lamination stacks, wherein each lamination stack defines at least one void therethrough; a tube having a central longitudinal axis, wherein each lamination stack is concentrically spaced apart from the tube to define a channel therebetween; a plurality of washers each having a shape defined by a first diameter and a second diameter that is greater than the first diameter, wherein each washer is configured to concentrically abut the tube and define a feed conduit interconnecting with the channel; and a shell disposed in contact with each lamination stack and concentrically spaced apart from each washer to define a plurality of ducts, wherein each duct is interconnected with the at least one void of at least one lamination stack. A mold system and a method of forming a plurality of rotors are also described.

  • Patent number: 7668802
    Abstract: An XML matching engine and method are provided, where policy rules expressed using XPath/XQuery policies are matched to streaming XML documents. Two distinct data structures are used: a combined modified DFA data structure for storing simple XPath queries (no wildcards or descendents) and a modified AFilter structure for storing complex queries (with wildcards or/and descendents). As the matching engine receives XML tags from XML parser, matching is performed in both structures in parallel.

  • Publication number: 20050135904
    Abstract: A reactor service manipulator delivery system supported on a remotely operated trolley that travels on top of a track attached to the steam dam of a BWR shroud. The trolley has a mast and pulley system designed to manipulate a TV camera for inspection of various reactor components inboard and outboard of the shroud at the same time that fuel is being moved within the core during a refueling operation so that refueling can be performed in parallel with the inspection.
