Publication number: 20100326270Abstract: A method of roughening metal surfaces of a workpiece such as a cylinder bore of an internal combustion engine to improve the adhesion of layers thermally sprayed thereon. Uniform grooves are formed in the surface and ridges are arranged between the grooves. The grooves may be formed by a process such as turning, drilling, milling or rolling. The ridges are plastically deformed in order to form undercuts in the grooves, with the degree of plastic deformation of the ridges varying regularly in the longitudinal direction of the grooves. Local deformations are produced in the ridge, and these bring about regular undercuts in the groove. This makes it possible to produce the undercuts in identical dimensions with little effort. Furthermore, since the groove is now not completely constricted by undercuts, it can be filled more effectively with spraying material.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2010Publication date: December 30, 2010Applicant: FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Thomas Doerfler, Clemens Maria Verpoort

Publication number: 20100326307Abstract: A safety and arming unit for a fuze of a projectile has a rotor for interruption of a firing chain. The rotor can rotate from a safe position to an armed position. In order to allow the safety and arming unit to be designed to be physically compact and such that it can be assembled easily, it is proposed that it has a first and a second rotor safety device which each engage in the rotor in order to block rotor rotation to the armed position, wherein the first rotor safety device is designed to carry out a release movement by virtue of its inertia during a launch acceleration of the projectile, and the second rotor safety device has a pyrotechnic charge for producing a release movement.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2009Publication date: December 30, 2010Applicant: JUNGHANS MICROTEC GMBHInventors: Andreas Schellhorn, Frank Martin Kienzler, Martin Leonhardt

Publication number: 20100326310Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for supporting a shell (1), such as a mortar shell, into the barrel of a breech-loading weapon, the arrangement comprising a support element (8) to be fastened to the tail of the mortar shell, the element comprising a rim flange (87), means for fastening the support element to the tail of the mortar shell (1), and firing means (9) for firing an actual primer (5) of the mortar shell (1) for firing the mortar shell. The arrangement is characterized in that the means for fastening the support element to the shell tail are arranged in the support element (8) by means of finger-like fastening members (80) settling onto the shell tail tube (3) and arranged to constitute an interference fit between the shell (1) and the support element (8) when the shell (1) is placed in the support element (8). The invention also relates to a support element and a method for supporting a mortar shell (1) into the barrel of a breechloading weapon.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2009Publication date: December 30, 2010Inventors: Jukka Tiainen, Mika Nurminen, Seppo Hakari

Publication number: 20100326311Abstract: A transportation system includes a vehicle having wings, a propulsion system, a lifting gear coupling the vehicle to an undercarriage, and a guidance assembly movably connecting the undercarriage to guide rails. The wings generate aerodynamic lift when the vehicle exceeds a first speed. The lifting gear supports a load of the vehicle in a first position in relation to the undercarriage when the vehicle travels at less than the first speed, allows the vehicle to lift to a second position in relation to the undercarriage as the vehicle accelerates beyond the first speed, and maintains the vehicle in the second position when the vehicle exceeds the first speed. The guidance assembly shiftingly engages the guide rails through rollers that are in rolling contact with the guide rails when the vehicle is in the first position and are displaced from the guide rails when the vehicle is in the second position.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 18, 2010Publication date: December 30, 2010Inventor: Abner J.

Publication number: 20100326312Abstract: A roller coaster or amusement ride providing a unique free-floating sensation by extending the passenger vehicles out on either side of the central frame structure. The passenger vehicles (48, 50) are supported between two cushioned cantilevered vehicle support arms {34, 36) that pivot while being supported between air bags (30. 32} or springs. The air pressure in the air bags or the tension in the springs can be adjusted to provide a soft, free-floating sensation to the ride. Additional passenger vehicle motions are achieved by the omni-directional ball-swivel joints (38, 40) on the ends of the support arms. The off-center location of the passenger vehicles (48, 50) and the weight of the passengers enable the passenger vehicles to remain in the up right position even when the central frame structure rotates around the track system. No additional drive systems or passenger controls are required on this unique roller coaster ride.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2008Publication date: December 30, 2010Applicant: S&S WORLDWIDE, INC.Inventors: Timothy R. Jacobi, Stanley J. Checketts

Publication number: 20100326313Abstract: A ride system is provided that allows selective relative positioning of vehicles in an amusement or theme park ride to simulate racing or other effects. The ride system includes a chassis that is adapted to be supported by and to travel on or along a length of track of a particular ride. A support is attached to the chassis and moves with the chassis during operation of the ride. The ride system includes first and second passenger vehicles that are spaced apart on and supported by the support. A drive assembly is linked to the support and configured to rotate the support about its central axis. During support rotation, the first and second vehicles are moved concurrently relative to the track to alter their relative positioning. The vehicles are each rotated about an axis that extends parallel to the rotation axis, and the rotation may be independent or concurrent.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2010Publication date: December 30, 2010Applicant: DISNEY ENTERPRISES, INC.Inventors: PAUL E.

Publication number: 20100326314Abstract: Disclosed is a transportation system with integrated infrastructure. In one embodiment, this infrastructure takes the form of a hollow elevated load bearing guideway structure designed to support the weight of traveling vehicles. The structure supports a backbone beam, or rail, that has multiple functions. These functions may include vehicle control, security, and energy delivery. The structure is bimodal meaning vehicles can have wheels like cars or steel rimmed wheels like a train or any combination thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2010Publication date: December 30, 2010Inventor: Waldemar F.
