  • Clamp
    Patent number: 10767794
    Abstract: A clamp for use in joining conduit segments comprising a ring sector and a radially projecting channel sector having first and second straps, first and second compression members, a central compression member, and a fastener wherein upon tightening the fastener, axial forces along the fastener are transferred into clamping forces around the clamp in order to seal the conduit segments.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and apparatus for manufacturing a fuel cell electrode
    Patent number: 10164264
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a fuel cell electrode includes stamping an electrode workpiece (50, 50?) in a sequence configured to control and/or reduce material growth, such as stamping discrete sections of the electrode workpiece in a sequential order. The method can employ a die with a die face (18, 18?) having a plurality of projections (24, 24?), wherein each projection has a top surface (26, 26?) with a concave curve along at least one plane to control and/or reduce material growth during a stamping operation.
