Appl. No.:

10/740327

International Classification:

B21D 53/84
B21D 39/00
B23P 11/00

US Classification:

298811, 29507, 29508, 29506

Abstract:

An assembly provides metallic ends to a composite shaft and a method of fabricating such an assembly. The composite shaft is preferably comprised of reinforced fibers. A metallic inner sleeve is positioned in the cavity of one end of the shaft. A metallic outer sleeve is positioned around the end of the shaft having the inner sleeve therein. The outer sleeve may include structural features, such as dimples, that ensure a stable connection between the sleeve and the shaft. The sleeves are compressibly forced onto the shaft, thereby forming the assembly. Both sleeves are metallic, and therefore provide a surface onto which weld joints can be formed. A preferred method of assembly includes the steps of expanding the inner sleeve and compressing the outer sleeve against the shaft.

US Classification:

264537, 264523, 264510, 264512, 264514

Abstract:

A method for manufacturing a resonator is disclosed in which a sleeve insert is placed into a fixture within a blow molding apparatus. The sleeve insert has a wall with a first plurality of apertures in the wall at a first axial distance and a second plurality of apertures in the wall at a second axial distance. A parison is slid over the sleeve insert; the mold is clamped over the parison causing the parison to press into the sleeve insert at three locations: near the ends of the sleeve insert and at a location between the pluralities of apertures; and air is blown into the sleeve insert, via a blow pin, to expand the parison into the walls of the mold to form cavities proximate the first and second pluralities of aperatures. After cooling, the mold opens to release the newly formed resonator.

US Classification:

362 61

Abstract:

The lamp assembly including a reflector having two or more reflective surfaces, a light source and an electrochromic means positioned between the light source and at least one reflective surface. Each reflective surface directs light in a different direction. The electrochromic means is capable of blocking light from exiting the lamp assembly from at least one direction.

International Classification:

C12P 7/06
C12P 19/14

Abstract:

Disclosed herein include methods of reducing the viscosity of a starch slurry during starch processing by the addition of one or more surfactants and one or more amylases. In some embodiments, the unexpected reduction in slurry viscosity results in a surprising increase in corn oil recovery, reduction in residual starch, and increased fermentation rate.

International Classification:

F16L 11/04

Abstract:

The present application provides various examples that may include a hose and a system. The hose may include a hose body, where an end segment of the hose body may be foldable over a clamp seat area of the hose body. There may be an opening in the end segment sized and shaped to provide access to a clamp, so as to better hold the clamp in place, while still enabling access.

US Classification:

717101

Abstract:

One aspect of the disclosure provides a method including generating a graph database that stores records representing objects in a software development project. Each record is a node in a graph. The graph database further stores a set of relationships, with each relationship defining an edge between two related objects. The method also includes receiving a request for an analysis report corresponding to a specific object with respect to at least a portion of the software development project. The method also includes identifying one or more relationships of the specific object based on the set of relationships. The method includes determining a set of related objects that have a relationship to the specific object based on the identified relationships. The method further includes generating the analysis model based on the specific object, the identified relationships and the set of related objects. The method also includes providing the analysis model.
