Terry Clifford Cooper - Schenectady NY

Assignee:

General Electric Company - Schenectady NY

International Classification:

C23C 1434

US Classification:

20429841, 20429812

Abstract:

An apparatus for cathodic arc coating. The apparatus includes: a vacuum chamber which includes: an anode; a power supply; and a cathode target assembly connected to the power supply. The cathode target assembly includes a cathode target having an interference fit stud with a threadless distal end. In the preferred embodiment, the distal end of the threadless cathode target also includes a pre-determined surface texture and a cooling block in contact with the cathode target.

Assignee:

General Electric Company - Schenectady NY

International Classification:

D06F 3908

US Classification:

68207

Abstract:

A turbidity sensor holder system having a container with a projection for collecting fluid samples in a machine for cleansing articles is provided. Collector channels are situated in the container projection to collect the fluid to be sampled. One or more vent channels are also provided in the container projection for conveniently venting a reservoir in the container. The present invention with the foregoing collection capability allows the turbidity of the cleansing fluid to be accurately measured without affecting the performance capacity of the sensor.
