摘要:
Methods and apparatus are provided for plasma-assisted processing multiple work pieces in a manufacturing line. In one embodiment, the method can include placing the work pieces in movable carriers, moving the carriers on a conveyor into an irradiation zone, flowing a gas into the irradiation zone, igniting the gas in the irradiation zone to form a plasma (e.g., by subjecting the gas to electromagnetic radiation in the presence of a plasma catalyst), sustaining the plasma for a period of time sufficient to at least partially plasma process at least one of the work pieces in the irradiation zone, and advancing the conveyor to move the at least one plasma-processed work piece out of the irradiation zone. Various types of plasma catalysts are also provided.

A system and method of carburizing a surface region of an object includes subjecting a gas to electromagnetic radiation, generated from a radiation source (52), in the presence of a plasma catalyst (70) to initiate a plasma containing carbon. The method also includes exposing the surface region of the object to the plasma for a period of time sufficient to transfer at least some of the carbon from the plasma to the object through the first surface region.

Methods and apparatus for plasma-assisted heat treatments are provided. The method can include initiating a heat treating plasma within a cavity (14) by subjecting a gas to electromagnetic radiation in the presence of a plasma catalyst (70), heating the object by exposing the object to the plasma, and maintaining exposure of the object to the plasma for a sufficient period to alter at least one material property of the object.

An apparatus and system are disclosed for automatic centrifugal engagement of a pressure plate. The apparatus includes a clutch basket, a clutch pack capable of coupling the clutch basket with a center clutch, a pressure plate axially moveable toward the clutch pack, and a top plate coupled to a rotating hub. The rotating hub is configured to pass through an opening in the pressure plate. The apparatus also includes at least one centrifugal actuating member disposed between the pressure plate and the top plate, and at least one spring disposed between the rotating hub and the center clutch to bias the pressure plate relative to the top plate. The system includes the apparatus and a rotating hub lifter coupled with the rotating hub and configured to position the rotating hub in one of a manual clutch mode position and an automatic clutch mode position

The present invention is directed to an apparatus to regulate and control the temperature of a differential axle assembly. A heat pipe is inserted though the axle housing with a portion submersed in a reservoir portion of the axle lubricant. Cooling fins are preferably disposed on the heat pipe both in the submersed region of the heat pipe and a portion external the housing. A temperatures sensitive valve provided to inhibit flow of the axle lubricant between a reservoir and the remaining portion of the axle housing.

A throttle body includes a secondary passageway having an inlet communicating with a central passageway upstream of a throttle plate disposed in the central passageway. An outlet communicates with an intake manifold of the engine downstream of the throttle plate to allow fluid flow to bypass the throttle plate. A pocket is formed in the throttle body and a seat is formed at the bottom of the pocket to communicate with the secondary passageway. A motor is disposed within the pocket and secured to the throttle body and cooperates with the seat for metering predetermined amounts of fluid flow past the seat. An opening is formed intersecting with the pocket and the outlet to form an internal flow path within the throttle body to allow fluid flow past the seat to flow through the outlet and bypass the throttle plate when in the closed position.

A kit and method for installing a light source onto a lathe tool rest for improving the illumination of the workpiece is described. The kit includes a rectangular array of two or more LED light sources on a front side of a strip and a power source comprising a cord having one end connected to a rear side of the strip. Methods for installing the kit may include drilling a hole through a tool rest so that the cord extends through the rear side to avoid obstructing the lathe.

A loading assembly includes an elongated rod connected to a load bearing structure. A ramp is selectively movable toward and away from the rod for attaching and detaching, respectively, with respect to the load bearing structure. A latch is connected to the ramp and movable between a first position and a second position with respect to the ramp. The latch automatically moves from the first position to the second position to trap the rod between the latch and the ramp when the ramp is moved toward the rod and the latch contacts the rod, thereby attaching the ramp with respect to the load-bearing structure. The latch automatically moves from the second position to the first position to release the rod from between the latch and the ramp when the ramp is moved away from the rod, thereby detaching the ramp with respect to the load bearing structure.

A reusable, durable, lawn and garden bagger for the easy collection and transportation of a quantity of loose debris such as leaves and grass clippings, for example. The bagger provides a collapsible container which provides an enlarged opening when secured in the fully open position, and wherethrough loose debris is deposited with a garden tool such as a rake, for example. Handle means are provided at both ends of the container whereby a worker may pull the full container along the ground by the front handle means, and subsequently dump the debris from the container by lifting upwardly on the back handle means.
