Abstract: A brazing system includes a touch screen display and a controller circuit board having a processor and a memory. The controller circuit board is configured to be manually set by an operator to support a single torch configuration or a multiple torch configuration. The single torch configuration includes a first integrated software having first computer-executable instructions stored in the memory and configured to execute on the processor, and the multiple torch configuration includes a second integrated software having second computer-executable instructions stored in the memory and configured to execute on the processor. The multiple torch configuration supports the independent setting up of multiple brazing torches and the simultaneous use of the multiple brazing torches by multiple users during multiple independent brazing processes.

Abstract: Embodiments of brazing systems are disclosed. In one embodiment, a brazing system includes a controller circuit board (controller) having a processor and a memory. The system also includes a fuel gas input, a fuel gas output, an oxygen/air gas input, and an oxygen/air gas output. The system further includes a touch screen display and a foot pedal, each operatively connected to the controller. The controller is configured to store multiple jobs of flame presets in the memory. Any job can be called up from the controller and the flame presets can be cycled through in response to tapping the foot pedal. Each job corresponds to a sequence of joint brazings to be performed on a braze assembly and includes a plurality of selectable flame presets. Each flame preset defines a flame setting based on a flow rate of a fuel gas and a flow rate of an oxygen/air gas.

Abstract: A system and method of managing advertisement content on websites and the like allows affiliates to create unique rich media advertisements using stored sponsor ads, videos, and graphic elements, to select website addresses to which each unique advertisement is to be directed, and to associate each unique advertisement and associated website addresses with an insertion code through which the advertisement is directed to the selected website addresses. The affiliate can modify an advertisement without changing the associated insertion code, so that the modified advertisement is automatically delivered to the selected websites.

Abstract: A vehicle emissions inspection commences when a vehicle owner connects an OBD scanning device to the OBDII system of the vehicle. Once the OBD scanning device is connected, it interrogates the vehicle to solicit the necessary information and data from the OBDII system of the vehicle. After the necessary information and data has been collected from the vehicle's OBDII system, it is encoded and encrypted into a alphanumeric character string displayed on the OBD scanning device. This alphanumeric character string is then reported to a central data storage location for evaluation and determination as to whether the inspection was valid and whether the vehicle passed or failed its inspection.

Abstract: A decentralized method and system for vehicle emissions testing uses the OBD unit of the vehicle to be tested and includes a remote data storage location in communication with a plurality of decentralized inspection stations or test locations. Each inspection location is designed to allow for “self-service” inspection through a kiosk that includes all of the hardware and software necessary to carry out the testing process and to communicate test data and information to the remote storage location.
