Abstract: The manufacturing method for the air intake apparatus has a holding-portion forming step, a temporarily fixing step, and a joining step. In the holding-portion forming step, a holding portion is formed. In the temporarily fixing step, the porous member is held by the holding portion. In the joining step, the holding portion and the porous member are joined together. Thus, an air intake apparatus, in which the opening is reliably covered with the porous member, can be manufactured. In the air intake apparatus manufactured by this manufacturing method, a peripheral portion of the porous member is doubly sealed with the holding portion that is an outer edge part of the opening. Consequently, the opening is reliably covered with the porous member, so that intake noise is reliably reduced.

Abstract: Steel fuel rails are provided with the mechanical components of a plurality of fuel injector valve bodies. The electronics for operating those valves are molded into an injector pack. The valve bodies are inserted into the passages associated with the injector pack such that the electronics are part of a single molded plastic portion. A corrugated seal is sealed to an outer portion of the passage on the injector pack. Thus, the present invention eliminates the number of connections for supplying fuel that needed to be sealed in the prior art. Further, the number of required assembly steps is reduced over the prior art.

Abstract: Laser welding is used to attach a laser-transparent component portion to an absorbing component portion at a laser weld joint area. The transparent component portion includes a first weld surface and a first taper locking surface formed opposite from the first weld surface. The absorbing component portion includes a second weld surface and a second taper locking surface formed opposite from the second weld surface. Prior to laser welding, the first and second taper locking surfaces cooperate to force and lock the first and second weld surfaces into abutting engagement at a predetermined pressure. A laser beam is then directed toward the first and second weld surfaces to permanently attach the component portions together. The first and second taper locking surfaces maintain the predetermined pressure during the laser welding process.

Abstract: A co-injection molded air intake manifold shell comprises an inner and outer skin layer separated by a sound absorbing or sound insulation core. Each skin layer is composed of a polyamide resin which, optionally, contains glass fiber reinforcement and high specific gravity fillers such as barium sulfate or tungsten. The sound insulating core is composed of a high density material having a foam structure, such as a polyamide resin. Skin layers are provided with a plurality of pockets to permit distribution of localized lumped masses at predetermined locations tailored to increase noise transmission losses. A single layer air intake manifold shell having non-uniform thickness is also provided. The thickness of the single layer air intake manifold shell is larger over preselected noise sources of larger amplitude to maximize noise attenuation for a nominal air intake manifold shell thickness.

Abstract: An improved air intake manifold for a V-style internal combustion engine comprising three individual injection molded sections joined by friction welding of flanged mating elements. Each section is formed of a high-melting temperature composite polymer. The welds are all on the exterior of the manifold. The mating surfaces are formed to be directly accessible to welding apparatus and are so oriented that friction welding may be carried out by relative motion between the components in the axial direction. When joined, the lower and middle sections form the individual air distribution runners from the plenum to the intake ports in the engine heads. The lower and middle sections are so configured that each such runner crosses the valley of the engine, providing great strength and rigidity to the module. All runners are identical, so that air flows from the plenum to the individual cylinders are substantially identical. The middle and upper sections may be rotationally symmetrical about a vertical axis, preventing mis-orientation during assembly. Modifications may be made to any one of the sections without requiring retooling of molds for the other two sections, provided the configurations of the mating surfaces are unchanged.

Abstract: Laser welding is used to attach an air induction component to a hose member. The air induction component includes a wall with an opening that cooperates with the hose member. The hose member includes a flange that directly engages the wall of the induction component on a surface surrounding the opening. One of the hose or induction component is made from a laser transparent material and the other of the hose or induction component is formed from a laser absorbing material. Contour through transmission welding is used to generate a laser beam that passes through the transparent material, heats the absorbing material, which in turn heats the transparent material and forms a laser weld.

Abstract: Laser welding is used to attach a polyolefin air induction component to an elastomeric hose member. One of the hose or induction component includes a portion that is made from a transparent material. In one example, the hose includes a hose end portion that is formed from a transparent material. The transparent material is then positioned in an overlapping relationship to a tube received within an opening in the induction component, which acts as an absorbing component. Contour through transmission welding is used to generate a laser beam that passes through the transparent material, heats the absorbing component, which in turn heats the transparent material and forms a laser weld.
