Filed:

Jun 28, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/169293

Inventors:

Venkatasubramanian Ananthanarayanan - Beavercreek OH, US
James M. Payne - Lennon MI, US
Deepak K. Sharma - Troy MI, US
Kenneth E Johnson - South Lyon MI, US
Andrzej Marian Pawlak - Rochester Hills MI, US

Assignee:

Delphi Technologies, Inc. - Troy MI

International Classification:

B23K 11/11

US Classification:

219 591, 219 6111, 219 7816

Abstract:

One method for welding includes obtaining a heat-exchanger tube having an outward fold. The tube is inserted at least partially through the orifice of a tubesheet with the fold contacting one of the outward and inward facing sides of the tubesheet. A first electrode is positioned in contact with the outward fold and a second electrode in contact with the one side of the tubesheet. Another method for welding includes obtaining a heat-exchanger tube having a tube end. The tube is inserted at least partially through the orifice of a tubesheet. A first electrode is positioned in contact with the first tube end and a second electrode is positioned in contact with one of the outward and inward facing sides of the tubesheet. The first electrode is moved against the first tube end to create an outward fold with the outward fold contacting the one side of the tubesheet.

International Classification:

B23K 11/00

US Classification:

219 591, 219 7816

Abstract:

Welding apparatus includes a first electrode having an electrode surface adapted to contact an outward end fold of a heat-exchanger tube which is positioned in an orifice of a tubesheet with the fold contacting an outward-facing side of the tubesheet. A second electrode has an electrode surface adapted to contact the outward-facing side of the tubesheet. Another welding apparatus includes a first electrode having an electrode surface adapted to contact an end of a heat exchanger tube positioned in an orifice of a tubesheet. The first electrode is movable to create an outward end fold in the tube and deform the fold against the outward-facing side of the tubesheet. Another welding apparatus includes a second electrode having an electrode surface adapted to contact the outward-facing side of a tubesheet and having cutouts which surround each of a plurality of heat-exchanger tubes and which are adapted to receive a first electrode.

International Classification:

B60R 21/26

US Classification:

280736, 280741, 2191171

Abstract:

A closure assembly for an inflator comprises a housing and an outlet plate disposed within the housing. The outlet plate has an outlet opening configured to receive a burst disk. The outlet plate is joined to the housing by a deformation resistance weld. The deformation resistance weld is formed by contacting the outlet plate with a first electrode, contacting an exterior portion of the housing with a second electrode, and applying a voltage through the first and second electrodes to adhere a portion of the housing to a portion of the outlet plate.

TRW Inc. - Cleveland OH

International Classification:

F16H 5518
F16H 112
B23C 900

US Classification:

74409

Abstract:

A precision gear reduction assembly for a gear train assembly for a gear train incorporates a backlash control in which the intermediate gear shaft has one end only mounted within an eccentric bushing. The bushing provides for the adjustment of the intermeshing of the final two gears of the gear train by tilting the intermediate shaft slightly as the bushing is rotated to achieve the desired degree of backlash control.
