International Classification:

F02G 5/00
F02M 69/46

US Classification:

123456, 123557

Abstract:

A fuel delivery system comprises a fuel rail having a flow channel therein. The fuel delivery system further comprises a fuel injector cup that includes a base at a first end thereof, an opening at a second end thereof opposite the first end, and an inner cavity disposed between the base and the opening. The first end of the fuel injector cup is configured to be disposed within the flow channel of the fuel rail. The fuel delivery system further comprises a heating element. The fuel rail of the fuel delivery system further includes a port therein that is configured for receiving the heating element. Additionally, the fuel injector cup of the fuel delivery system further includes an aperture therein also configured for receiving the heating element.

Appl. No.:

12/009460

Inventors:

Robert Charles Doherty - Braintree MA, US

International Classification:

B65D 73/00

US Classification:

206469, 206471

Abstract:

A packaging unit having a front wall and a back wall sealed together at a peripheral joint. The front and back walls are formed of semi-rigid material. The front wall and back wall are spaced apart from one another to define an article-receiving region between them. A line of weakness is formed in the back wall. The line of weakness defines an opening flap to be at least partially separated from the remainder of the back wall. A raised opening tab is positioned on the opening flap along the line of weakness and extends away from the opening flap. The line of weakness is rupturable by a user by applying a manual force to the opening tab to at least partially separate the opening flap from the remainder of the back wall along the line of weakness in order to access the article-receiving region.

International Classification:

B32B 3100
B30B 138
B30B 1534

US Classification:

156 64

Abstract:

A method for bonding a thin metal sheet to a rigid body utilizes pneumatic cylinders compressing a spreader bar against components to be bonded. C clamps specially designed to hold the pneumatic cylinders are used to hold the components in place. Heat is applied to the bonding surfaces for curing for a predetermined period of time.

International Classification:

B25G 1/10
B25G 3/20

Abstract:

An ergonomic, multi-purpose, attachable and adjustable, auxiliary handle assembly that provides a single supplementary handle for multiple tools and implements. The handle assembly is comprised of an “L”-shaped cylindrical bar that is combined with an adjustable yet lockable, hinged clamp that can be conveniently positioned along the primary cylindrical shaft of elongated tools and implements. This adjustable placement of this new auxiliary handle provides greater convenience in utilizing the tool to maximize its leverage or lifting capability while reducing the risk of muscular strain and fatigue. The adjustable feature allows operators of different sizes; tall to short, to conveniently place the adjustable handle on their tool or implement, at a position on the elongated shaft, that maximizes their preferred handling of the tool for operation. This auxiliary handle allows the user to maximize the effective use of the tool while reducing arm and back strain or injury. In addition to the ergonomic benefits, this new auxiliary handle provides multiple functional benefits for more effective lifting, pulling and pushing operation of tools and implements. In addition, the auxiliary handle enables operational use of tools and implements, with all the above-mentioned benefits, for both day and night use, given the convenient optional lighting component attached to the “L”-shaped handle that sheds light on the tool or implement head (where the head is the shovel, rake, hoe, broom or other tool end attachment).

Inventors:

Robert J. Doherty - Syracuse IN, US

International Classification:

F02D 41/38
F02M 63/02

US Classification:

123456, 29428

Abstract:

A fuel rail assembly configured for connection to an internal combustion engine includes a first fuel rail, a second fuel rail, and a crossover hose. The first fuel rail includes an inlet having a first flow restrictor and configured to be coupled to a high-pressure pump. The first fuel rail further includes a second flow restrictor disposed in an interior portion that divides the interior into a first rail volume and a remainder volume. The crossover hose includes a third flow restrictor near the end that is connected to the second fuel rail. A first pulsation control volume is defined between the pump and the inlet. A second pulsation control volume is defined to include the remainder volume and the volume in the crossover hose (i.e., between the first and second flow restrictors). The pulsation control volumes reduce pressure fluctuations produced by the high-pressure pump.
