Assignee:

MicroCoating Technologies, Inc. - Atlanta GA

International Classification:

F02D 700

US Classification:

239 5, 239128, 239130, 239132, 239135, 239136

Abstract:

The present invention involves controlled atomization of liquids for various applications such as part/droplet seeding for laser-based measurements of flow velocity, temperature, and concentration; flame and a plasma based elemental analysis; nano-powder production; spray drying for generation of small-sized particles; nebulizers in the production of sub-micron size droplets and for atomizing fuel for use in combustion chambers. In these and other atomizer applications the control of droplet and/or particle size is very critical In some applications extremely small droplets are preferred (less than a micron), while in others, droplet diameters on the scale of several microns are required. The present invention has the flexibility of forming droplets within a particular range of diameters, wherein not only the size of the average droplet can be adjusted, but the range of sizes may be adjusted as well. The atomizer ( ) itself is in the form of a heated tube ( ) having an inlet end ( ) and an outlet end ( ). As liquid travels through the tube it is heated and upon exiting the tube and entering a reduced pressure area the liquid atomizes to form very fine droplets.

International Classification:

F02F 3/00
B21K 1/18

Abstract:

An improved piston forging for use in an internal combustion engine is disclosed. The piston forging comprises a crown, a pair of pin towers extending generally axially away from the crown, and a skirt extending generally axially away from the crown. The improved piston forging further comprises a plurality of grains flowing across the piston forging. The plurality of grains are reoriented during the forging operation into a configuration that follows the surfaces and features of the piston forging. More specifically, the plurality of grains are reoriented in a manner that is most beneficial to resist combustion and inertial forces that are enacted upon a machined piston during operation.

International Classification:

A01D 34/00
A01D 34/74
A01D 34/64
A01D 34/66

Abstract:

A lawn mowing apparatus may include sensors that are fastened to both its mower deck and its chassis. The sensors may sense a position of the mower deck in relation to the chassis. The sensed position of the mower deck may be presented to the operator via a dashboard display of the lawn tractor or transmitted via a wireless signal to another device. Based on such sensed position, an operator of the lawn tractor may manually adjust the position of the mower deck until the sensed position of the mower deck is within an acceptable operating range. In some embodiments, servomotors may used to adjust the position of the mower deck until the sensed position of the mower deck is within an acceptable range.

International Classification:

H02J 7/00

Abstract:

A rechargeable device is disclosed. The rechargeable device may include an enclosure, a rechargeable battery cell, a constellation assembly, and charging circuitry. The enclosure may include a receptacle defining a longitudinal opening into the enclosure. The constellation assembly may include a diaphragm, a puck, and a contact point affixed to the puck and configured to engage an electrode of a charging pad surface. The charging circuitry may be configured to charge the battery cell based on electrical power received from the charging pad surface via the contact point. The receptacle may further permit movement of the puck and the affixed contact point along the longitudinal opening.

Abstract:

Various embodiments of tools with integrated measurement devices are described. An apparatus may include a tool to be applied to a workpiece, an integrated measurement device in a feed path of the tool, and a controller. The integrated measurement device may generate signals indicative of rotation of a roller in a feed path of a workpiece. The controller may generate, based on the signal, a distance measurement of the workpiece. The distance measurement may indicate a distance between an end of the workpiece and a location of the workpiece to which the tool is to be applied.
