Filed:

Jul 26, 1978

Appl. No.:

5/928268

Inventors:

Michael H. Clement - Concord CA

International Classification:

B23B 4112

US Classification:

408 19

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for positioning a boring machine relative to an engine block or the like has a base plate suitable for arrangement upon a deck surface of the block, the plate being formed with openings above each of the cylindrical bores as well as in alignment with threaded passages in the block. Preferably, bolts are threaded into the block to secure the base plate so that, during reboring, the bolts distort the block about the bores in a similar manner as during engine operation. Also preferably, adjustable means are arranged between the base plate and the deck surface of the engine block in order to position the base plate in precise alignment with the main bearing axis of the engine block so that the bores are formed perpendicularly to the main bearing axis.

Inventors:

Michael H. Clement - Concord CA

International Classification:

B27G 2300
G01B 322

US Classification:

33185R

Abstract:

A method and apparatus is disclosed for determining perpendicularity between a tool mounting assembly and a work surface of a machine tool, the apparatus being in the form of a device including a shaft adapted for mounting in the tool mounting assembly and having a generally perpendicular platform rotatable about a longitudinal axis of the shaft, a plurality of at least three proximity indicators being mounted on the platform in equidistant relation from the axis of rotation for the shaft, each of the indicators including a movable proximity detecting element arranged for engagement with the work surface, a gauge block preferably being disposable upon the work surface to provide a common reference surface for establishing an initial "zero" setting on each of the indicators.

International Classification:

B29C 6720

US Classification:

264 455

Abstract:

Foam thermoplastic injection molding apparatus and method produces structurally superior foam injection molded products. The process includes plasticating solid polymer to a polymer melt; accumulating the melt in an accumulator having a telescoping inlet, which allows the first melt which enters to be the first to leave the accumulator; combining a preselected amount of melt with a preselected amount of gas in bubble form to form homogenized polymer foam; shearing the homogenized polymer foam to reduce the size of gas bubbles; and injecting the polymer foam through a special gate assembly into a mold. The gate assembly has a removable nose which remains with the mold, allowing the foam to expand within the mold but not allowing the foam to escape the mold. The process and apparatus allow low molded-in stress products to be produced, and can process recyclable thermoplastics, either single materials or mixtures. Thus, no segregation of materials is required.

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided herein for delivering items using an electric vehicle charging station (EVCS) system. The EVCS system may comprise an EVCS for charge electric vehicles. The EVCS system may also comprise a delivery vehicle removably coupled to the EVCS. The EVCS may have a compartment and/or shelf designed to house the delivery vehicle. Upon receipt of a delivery request, the delivery vehicle departs from the EVCS and transports items (e.g., batteries, charges, purchases, etc.) to one or more users.

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided herein for charging an electric vehicle based on the inferred dwell time of a user of the electric vehicle. This may be accomplished by an electric vehicle charging station (EVCS) receiving a request from a user to charge an electric vehicle. The EVCS can use the request to identify a profile associated with the user, wherein the profile comprises user information related to the user. The EVCS then estimates a dwell time for the user using the user information. The EVCS can use the dwell time to estimate a total charge time for the electric vehicle. The EVCS then charges the electric vehicle based on the estimated charge time.
