  • THERMODE CLEANING METHOD
    Publication number: 20110297186
    Abstract: A method for cleaning a thermode tip including applying an energy pulse to the thermode tip. The energy pulse involves raising the temperature of the thermode tip higher than the working temperature of the thermode tip. A method for cleaning a thermode tip may include periodically performing a predetermined number of soldering cycles at a working temperature; and applying an energy pulse to the thermode tip.

  • Communication structure for solar inverters
    Patent number: 7899035
    Abstract: There is described a communication structure for at least two solar inverters, having a transmission medium by means of which each of the at least two solar inverters is connected to a communication network with a first group of the solar inverters each being connected via an LAN interface to the communication network, and with a further group of the solar inverters being connected to the first group via serial interfaces. Two different network types are therefore provided with the first being suitable for standard LAN technologies with rapid data transmission over short distances, and with the second being suitable for interference-insensitive data transmission over long distances.

  • Turn signal and hazard warning control apparatus for unitary insertion into vehicle steering column body
    Patent number: 4016380
    Abstract: A turn signal mechanism which is configured in a pie-shaped modular segment adapted to mount into the steering column of an automotive vehicle from one side thereof. The mechanism may be removed radially from the steering column for replacement or repair without the necessity for removing other steering column components. All the operative components are mounted in a modular housing which is affixed on one side of the steering shaft and requires no disruption of the shaft for removal and replacement of the module.
