Filed:

Sep 14, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/881432

Inventors:

James Cahill - Columbus OH, US
William Peck - Grove City OH, US
Matthew Spiewacki - Hilliard OH, US

Assignee:

HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD. - Tokyo

International Classification:

B25B 5/00

US Classification:

269 37

Abstract:

A fixture for selectably supporting a number of dissimilar workpieces. The fixture includes a frame with one or more rotatable workpiece tooling assemblies. Each workpiece tooling assembly has multiple faces to which is mounted workpiece support tooling. The workpiece support tooling may be designed to support dissimilar workpieces, such that a single fixture may support any of a given number of workpieces by simply rotating the workpiece tooling assembly or assemblies until the corresponding support tooling is properly positioned. A locking assembly may be provided to releasably secure each workpiece tooling assembly in the various support orientations that coincide with each of its faces.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707705, 707E17005

Abstract:

A computerized system and method for analyzing color consistency on automotive parts and for providing feedback on painting processes occurring in an assembly plant. The system and method facilitates data collection and analysis at numerous points during the assembly paint processes and the identification of possible adjustments so that parts are painted within a specified tolerance. Body and bumper parts are measured during an inspection process. Measurement and colorimetric data is stored in association with an identifier for the body part or bumper. Measurements relate to equipment and paint mix variables as well as environmental variables that influence the paint results. A software application facilitates analysis of the data and troubleshooting possible causes for color discrepancies. As the color trends away from a specified standard, paint process, including environmental, changes are made, prior to the painting of parts in the bumper or body so that color mismatches are prevented.

Appl. No.:

8/465647

Inventors:

William H. Peck - Montclair CA
Wayne C. Crouch - Edwardsville IL

International Classification:

H01Q 1106

US Classification:

343733

Abstract:

A light-weight, collapsible, single or multi element rhombic antenna is disclosed having at least two wire antenna elements for receiving and transmitting electromagnetic waves. The antenna elements are supported in a rhombic shape by an antenna frame. The frame includes four nonconductive legs extending radially outwardly from a center support. At least one of the legs is detachably engaged to the center support. Each leg has a nonconductive cross arm support orthogonally mounted to its outwardly extending end for supporting the antenna wire elements in parallel rhombic formations. An integrated feed network combines the electromagnetic waves. A translation device is coupled to the integrated feed network to convert the electromagnetic waves into a desired output signal. The antenna can be mounted on a mast for either horizontally or vertically polarized operation.
