Patent number: 9802377Abstract: An autoclave suitable for use for heating articles such as tires is described. The autoclave includes an elongated chamber having an interior section and an annular duct surrounding the interior section, wherein the annular duct is separated from the interior section by a dividing wall; said autoclave further including a heat source for heating the air, a fan for circulating the air in the chamber, and an air deflector mounted in a distal end of the chamber. The air deflector is positioned to redirect the airflow towards the interior portion of the chamber to eliminate air recirculation zones and improve the temperature uniformity.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2016Date of Patent: October 31, 2017Assignee: The Goodyear Tire & Rubber CompanyInventors: Gilles Reichling, Jean Luc Dheur, Michael William Schellenberger, II, Richard Alan Thomas, Michael William Diehl

Patent number: 9288888Abstract: A plasma arc torch includes an annular baffle defining distinct faces A, B, C, and D. Faces A and C are opposite from each other, and faces B and D are opposite from each other. First passages for fluid flow extend between the faces A and C, and second passages extend between the faces B and D. The baffle is installable in an annular space between an inner wall and an outer wall, in either of two orientations. In a first orientation, the first passages are open to fluid flow and the second passages are closed by engagement of the inner and outer walls with the faces B and D, and in a second orientation, flipped over relative to the first orientation, the second passages are open to fluid flow and the first passages are closed by engagement of the inner and outer walls with the faces A and C.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2013Date of Patent: March 15, 2016Assignee: The ESAB Group, Inc.Inventors: David Charles Griffin, Gregory William Diehl, Christopher Reed Martin, Wayne Stanley Severence, Jr.

Patent number: 9046390Abstract: An apparatus to monitor one or more utility meters includes a communication unit with a processor, a communication interface coupled to the processor, and a probe interface coupled to the processor. A meter monitoring probe that includes a probe head is coupled by a cable to a probe connector capable to mate with the probe interface. The probe head includes an image sensor, an indicator, and a button. The probe head is capable to detect a characteristic of a utility meter that is dependent on a usage of a utility metered, and send information related to the characteristic to the processor. The processor is capable to receive the information from the probe head and send a message related to the usage of the utility over the communication interface, and the image sensor is capable to capture an image in response to a press of the button.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2014Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: Greenwave Systems PTE LTDInventors: Kong Wei Lye, Fu Kin Fong, Yee Fen Ching, William Diehl, Sonny Windstrup

Patent number: 8941509Abstract: A characteristic of a first utility meter is detected with a first probe head, and a characteristic of a second utility meter is detected with a second probe head. The characteristic of the first utility meter is dependent on a usage of a first utility metered by the first utility meter, and the characteristic of the second utility meter is dependent on a usage of a second utility metered by the second utility meter. Information related to the characteristic of the first utility meter is communicated from the first probe head to a communication unit, and information related to the characteristic of the second utility meter is communicated from the second probe head to the communication unit. A message is also sent from the communication unit indicating the usage of the first utility or the usage of the second utility.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2013Date of Patent: January 27, 2015Assignee: Greenwave Systems Pte. Ltd.Inventors: Yee Fen Ching, Fu Kin Fong, Kong Wei Lye, William Diehl, Sonny Windstrup, Karl Jonsson, Christian Vandendorpe
