US Patent:

7384592, Jun 10, 2008

Filed:

Jun 1, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/858662

Inventors:

Christopher H. Weis - Riverton UT, US
Ronald K. Eyre - Orem UT, US
Stewart N. Middlemiss - Salt Lake City UT, US
David Iverson - Highland UT, US

Assignee:

Smith International, Inc - Houston TX

International Classification:

C04B 35/52
C04B 35/5831

US Classification:

264672, 175428

Abstract:

A method for manufacturing an ultrahard compact includes assembling a mass of ultrahard material with a mass of substrate material such that the mass of ultrahard material extends radially outward a greater extent than the substrate material to compensate for a difference in the radial shrinkage of the ultrahard material compared to the substrate material during a sintering process. The method may further includes subjecting the assembled compact to a high pressure high temperature process that results in the forming of an ultrahard compact including an ultrahard layer integrally bonded with a substrate.

Abstract:

A packaging system for high flexibility and speed box-last packaging comprises one or more dimensional scanning sensors that are configured to scan a group of one or more target products that are to be boxed and gather dimension information describing physical dimensions of the group of one or more target products. The system also comprises one or more packaging-production machines that are configured to generate custom-made packaging templates that conform to a pre-determined set of packaging template types. Additionally, the system comprises a packaging template buffer that comprises physically divided sections that contain multiple packaging templates selected from the pre-determined set of packaging template types that are generated by the one or more packaging-production machines. Each of the packaging templates are organized within the physically divided section based upon packaging template type.
