  • Patent number: 6371362
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for attaching a device to an inside wall of an enclosure. The device is removably attached to a positioner. Where the device includes a metal substance, it may be attached to the positioner by a magnet affixed to the positioner, for example. A first motor-operated moving device moves the enclosure such that the device abuts an inside wall of the enclosure. A second motor-operated moving device, for example a robot, then attaches the device to the inside wall of the enclosure. Where the enclosure and the device are composed of metal, the two may be welded together. In this instance, the first motor-operated moving device may be a non-robotic, motor-operated moving device that provides a ground path for the weld.

  • Patent number: 6363597
    Abstract: The invention relates to the partial or complete use of a pressurized gas cylinder known per se for compressed, liquefied or dissolved gases as a liner for a composite cylinder. This enables production costs of a composite cylinder to be reduced by ⅓ when compared to the costs arising from the production of a new composite cylinder using current manufacturing technologies.

  • Patent number: 6237208
    Abstract: A process for the manufacture of section material composed of thermoplastic material, such sections being suitable for the production of door and window jambs and frames. A thermoplastic material component and a second component containing additives are mixed and compacted to form a strand-forming mixture. In so doing, the thermoplastic component is thermally plasticised. The strand-forming mixture is formed into section material, which may then be further machined, shaped and coated to form the final product.
