Publication number: 20170232538Abstract: This document describes techniques and apparatuses for attaching electronic components to interactive textiles. In various implementations, an interactive textile that includes conductive thread woven into the interactive textile is received. The conductive thread includes a conductive wire (e.g., a copper wire) that that is twisted, braided, or wrapped with one or more flexible threads (e.g., polyester or cotton threads). A fabric stripping process is applied to the interactive textile to strip away fabric of the interactive textile and the flexible threads to expose the conductive wire in a window of the interactive textile. After exposing the conductive wires in the window of the interactive textile, an electronic component (e.g., a flexible circuit board) is attached to the exposed conductive wire of the conductive thread in the window of the interactive textile.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2017Publication date: August 17, 2017Applicant: Google Inc.Inventors: Karen Elizabeth Robinson, Nan-Wei Gong, Mustafa Emre Karagozler, Ivan Poupyrev

Publication number: 20170232539Abstract: A system for performing exothermic operations or oxygen delivery uses a rod and handle configuration to create a flowpath of oxygen. The rod includes cables having stainless steel fibers that burn using the oxygen within a hollow center area. While burning, the rod cuts through material. A sheath covers the covers to contain the gases and prevent unraveling of the cables. The handle attaches to the rod and provides control of the flow of oxygen to the rod. A manifold fixing in place bottles of oxygen connects to the handle and can be fixed to provide different mixtures from different bottles. The rod is disconnected when needed to fix a mask thereto for delivering breathable oxygen to a patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 2, 2017Publication date: August 17, 2017Inventors: Brennan E.

Publication number: 20170232540Abstract: A welding system of cylindrical structures which welds a welding end surface of an upper cylindrical structure and that of a lower one in an axial direction thereof, includes: two or more welding apparatuses opposite to the welding end surfaces and disposed at equal arrangement intervals in the circumferential direction thereof; a moving device configured to rotate the upper and lower cylindrical structures relative to the welding apparatuses in a circumferential direction thereof; and a control device configured to control the welding apparatuses and the moving device. The welding apparatus has a filler metal and a heating source therefor, and melts and fuses the filler metal on the welding end surfaces to weld them, and the control device is configured to continuously rotate the upper and lower cylindrical structures an angle of the arrangement interval by the moving device, while welding the welding end surfaces with the welding apparatuses.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2015Publication date: August 17, 2017Applicant: MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Takuma Teramae, Shuho Tsubota, Seiji Fukumoto, Tomoaki Wakayama

Publication number: 20170232541Abstract: A mobile hardbanding system that uses PTA welding to perform hardbanding on drill string sections at the well site. The inventive system allows alternate use of PTA and MIG welding. Both a PTA torch and a MIG torch are provided. Changing from one type of welding to the other is simplified by including separate electrical, gas, and cooling conduits for each torch. The torch not in use is parked in the welding compartment near the weld box. The powder hopper for the PTA welding assembly may be mounted on a swivel arm so that it can be moved out of the way when the MIG torch is in use.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 11, 2016Publication date: August 17, 2017Inventor: James G.

Publication number: 20170232542Abstract: In control applying a gradient to a command voltage value during an arc period, although stable welding can be performed even in a case where a protrusion length of a welding wire becomes long, when the disturbance such as sudden change in the protrusion length is generated, a current waveform of the arc period is undershot, the short circuit period is disturbed, and it took time to return to the stable state, and the amount of sputter generation is also increased. Therefore, it is possible to suppress a change in current such as undershoot or the like when the disturbance is generated, stabilize short circuit cycle, perform welding with a strong resistance to disturbance and a small amount of sputter generation by changing an inductance value a plurality of times during the arc period.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 2, 2015Publication date: August 17, 2017Inventors: KAITO MATSUI, ATSUHIRO KAWAMOTO, TAKAHIRO NOGUCHI, MASARU KOWA
