  • Patent number: 10933496
    Abstract: A method for repairing a worn portion in an inner diameter surface of a bore of a cast iron part is disclosed. The inner diameter surface of the bore may have an original surface geometry prior to wear. The method may comprise forming a crescent-shaped pocket in the inner diameter surface of the bore to remove the worn portion, installing an insert in the crescent-shaped pocket, and post-machining the insert to form a crescent-shaped insert that is flush with the original surface geometry of the bore inner surface diameter.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20180019577
    Abstract: A remanufactured sparkplug includes a housing, an insulator within the housing, and first and second electrodes. The first electrode and the second electrode form a plurality of spark gaps at a plurality of new spark gap locations, and a plurality of spark-induced erosions are formed in the second electrode at a plurality of former spark gap locations that are circumferentially offset from the new spark gap locations.

  • Publication number: 20170368749
    Abstract: Disclosed is a 3D printer with a build platform configured to quickly and easily release a build object with no damage to the object. The build platform comprises a rigid frame; an adhesion surface configured to detachably attach to the upper side of the rigid frame; and rack assembly configured to attach to the bottom side of the rigid frame. The rigid frame includes a substantially planar plate of steel, while the adhesion surface comprises a flexible sheet material with an inherent concave curvature with the center biased toward the steel plate. Sets of clips and tabs integral to either the rigid frame or adhesion surface may be employed to releasable lock the frame and adhesion surface together. Sets of protrusions and dimples integral to either the rigid frame or adhesion surface may be employed to releasable lock the frame and adhesion surface together. To release a printed object, the user need only detach the adhesion surface from the rigid frame, and then twist the adhesion surface.

  • Publication number: 20080046537
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and client device for selecting an identifier on a display of the client device, the identifier corresponding to a website having one or more web pages stored on a server. In response to selecting an identifier, an indication is transmitted to a server requesting that at least one of the web pages be transmitted to the client device. The web page is received and rendered on the display of the client device. A datastore is queried to determine if at least one web feed is available on the website. The datastore includes feed information that defines web feeds available on the website. In response to the availability of at least one web feed on the website, an indicator is rendered with the client device indicative of the availability of the at least one web feed on the website.

  • Patent number: 4616173
    Abstract: A frequency counter employs a temperature sensitive oscillator mounted in proximity to a master crystal oscillator to provide an output frequency which varies appreciably with changes in ambient temperature and the frequency of the temperature sensitive oscillator is periodically counted and compared to a table of correction factors stored in memory to select a correction factor which is applied to the counted frequency of an input signal to provide a temperature corrected frequency count.
