A connector for use in connecting a container of liquid nutrients to an enteral feeding tube to supply the liquid nutrients to a patient includes an integrally formed spike projecting into a cavity defined by an interior surface of a body of the connector. An air passage in communication with the cavity extends through the spike to outside the connector. A filter is secured to the end of the passage outside the connector. The body of the connector is free of structure that both defines any portion of the liquid passage and is formed for penetrating the puncturable seal of the container.

An apparatus includes an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection device configured to protect a circuit from ESD conditions. The protection device includes an emitter region having a first diffusion polarity; a collector region laterally spaced apart from the emitter region, and having the first diffusion polarity; and a barrier region interposed laterally between the emitter region and the collector region while contacting the emitter region. The barrier region has a second diffusion polarity opposite from the first diffusion polarity. The device can further include a base region having the second diffusion polarity, and laterally surrounding and underlying the emitter region and the barrier region. The barrier region can have a higher dopant concentration than the base region, and block a lateral current flow between the collector and emitter regions, thus forming a vertical ESD device having enhanced ESD performance.

A method of assembling a plastic article includes laser welding a first laser absorbent part having a first surface finish and a second laser transparent part with a second surface finish that is different than the first surface finish. The first part includes a surface finish that is textured and grained. The second part includes a substantially smooth non-textured surface finish. One of the first and second parts includes a carbon black dye that provides a desired black color. The other of the first and second parts does not include the black dye but instead utilizes another dark colored dye. The carbon black dye provides for the part to be laser absorbent and the other type of dye is utilized to provide a substantially similar appearance in a laser transparent part.

An intercooler assembly includes a housing that defines an internal space containing a plurality of tubes. A joint between a tube and a tube plate is created by a laser welding process. A form presses the walls of the tube outwardly to form the flange. The downward force of the form not only creates the desired flange, but also exerts a pressure that holds the flange against the tube plate. The form provides for the transmission of laser energy to that the creation of the flange can be performed concurrently with the welding process.

An air induction system for an internal combustion engine. The system includes an air cleaner having an air intake and an intake manifold for distributing air to cylinders of the engine. A throttle body installed in a neck portion of the manifold is also provided, wherein the throttle body serves to regulate a flow of air to the manifold. In addition, the system includes a hose for providing air from the air cleaner to the manifold and the throttle body, wherein the hose includes a first end which is affixed to both the throttle body and the manifold. The first end also includes sealing elements for sealing the throttle body and the manifold.

An HQ tube arrangement suitable for packaging within a vehicle includes a first passageway having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet and a second passageway located adjacent the first passageway. The second passageway is fluidly connected to the first passageway at first and second spaced apart junctions with the second passageway being divided by the junctions into first, second and third passages. The second passageway includes first and second opposing terminal ends respectively spaced from the first and second junctions wherein portions of the first, second and third passageways are oriented in a substantially similar direction to that of the first passageway to form a substantially rectangular configuration.
摘要:
A high pressure vortex fuel injector comprising a hollow housing or body including a plurality of passages at least one of which is adapted to receive fuel through an inlet. The injector also includes a passage for guiding the piston into seating relationship with the valve seat to control the flow of fuel through the metering orifice and a solonoid assembly for moving the piston relative to the valve seat. The injector further includes a swirl or vortex chamber, to angularly accelerate the fuel, formed in cooperation with the first surface of the valve seat. The injector additionally includes passages for permitting fuel to circulate about an electric coil thereof, thereby cooling same during instances when the metering orifice is closed. The injector further includes passages within the swirl chamber for assisting in the rapid formation of a conical spray pattern upon the opening of the metering orifice.

A structural repair patch system for repairing a damaged product surface, the system comprising: an application member, a patch member and at least one containing member. The patch member further comprises a reinforced element with a reinforced element top surface and a reinforced element bottom surface, an adhesive element incorporated into the reinforced element and or positioned on the reinforced element bottom surface and a smooth surface element, located on the reinforced element top surface, which is conformable to the surface and texture of an undamaged surface of the product. The at least one containing member forms a sealed enclosure containing the patch member.
摘要:
A non-metallic intercooler assembly includes an intake header tank, outlet header tank, and a multitude of non-metallic charge tubes which communicate airflow from the intake header tank to the outlet header tank. Several combinations of plastics parts are described. Tanks of intercoolers can be made from plastics today but with complicated clamping and sealing. Each tank in this description can be laser welded in place. Various combinations of laser opaque and laser transparent materials are utilized to achieve an effective laser welding assembly process. Intake systems for automotive use are widely made of plastic materials today and this description shows how those types of materials can be employed in an intercooler. Each non-metallic tube can be supported by a plastic fin feature whose primary function is to support the structure to promote airflow conditions favorable to heat transfer.
