Installing trim in a valve assembly
A tool configured for use to assemble and install trim into a steam conditioning valve. These configurations can include a device that mounts in place of a bonnet and an actuator that technicians remove from the valve. The device can cantilever the trim assembly, essentially providing a platform on which technicians can slide the trim assembly into the valve body (or out of the valve body) to complete install or repair of the device. As an added benefit, technicians can also use the device to assemble the trim in proximity to the subject valve.
Spring arm sleeve
A spring arm sleeve, with which a joining element of a joining device is positionable and which comprises the following features: a tubular section which is formed by a circumferential or all-round wall, the circumferential wall comprises in the circumferential direction a plurality of U-shaped apertures regularly spaced apart from one another, which form a plurality of one-sidedly fastened spring arms which are inclined radially inwards into the tubular section and extend from a fixed end in a first longitudinal direction.
Magazine for storing fasteners and similar objects
A magazine for storing elements which each have a shaft and a head. The magazine includes a cylinder defining a shell surface in which is formed a helical-shaped groove. The shaft of each element to be stored can be inserted into the groove while the head of each element protrudes outward radially over the groove. The head of each element can be impacted in the peripheral direction by a suitable carrier in order to move the elements through the groove one after the other to an outlet end of the groove where the elements are ejected individually.
Connector with separable lacing fixture
A connector assembly has a connector part and a cable manager part. The cable manager part can be provided with a separable lacing fixture that functions to retain the severed portions of the wires that result from the termination process, rather than allowing the severed wire portions to fall to the floor in an uncollected state. In one aspect, the cable manager part has a main body to which the separable lacing fixture is attached via a plurality of breakaway portions.
Apparatus for depositing conductive and nonconductive material to form a printed circuit
An apparatus for producing a printed circuit board on a substrate, has a table for supporting the substrate, a function head configured to effect printing conductive and non-conductive materials on the substrate, a positioner configured to effect movement of the function head relative to the table, and a controller configured to operate the function head and the positioner to effect the printing of conductive and non-conductive materials on the substrate. The apparatus optionally has a layout translation module configured to convert PCB files or multilayer PCB files to printing data for controlling the function head to print conductive material and nonconductive material onto the substrate. The apparatus has a testing head to verify conductors which operates automatically. The translation module also prints nonconductive material component alignment areas and nonconductive material substrate stiffeners.
TEMPERATURE DESTRATIFICATION SYSTEMS
A temperature destratification assembly can include an outer housing. An impeller can be positioned within the outer housing between the inlet and outlet of the outer housing. The impeller can have an impeller hub and a plurality of impeller blades extending radially outward from the impeller hub. The assembly can include an impeller motor configured to rotate the impeller blades about an axis of rotation. A stator can be positioned within the outer housing between the impeller and the outlet of the outer housing. The stator can include a plurality of vanes. The stator vanes can include an upstream edge at the upstream end of the stator, a first surface extending from the upstream edge to the downstream edge of the vane, and a second surface opposite the first surface and extending from the upstream edge to the downstream edge of vane. A plurality of the vanes can have a downstream edge at the outlet of the outer housing.

ASSEMBLER SYSTEM FOR ASSEMBLING AN ELECTRONIC VAPING ARTICLE
An assembler system for manufacturing vapor-generating articles may include a rotatable assembly drum including an outer face and a flute in the outer face. The flute is structured and arranged to hold a first section and a second section of the vapor-generating article. The system also includes a first mechanism that translates the first section relative to the second section while the first section and the second section are in the flute. The system additionally includes a second mechanism that rotates the first section relative to the second section while the first section and the second section are in the flute. The translating and the rotating connect the first section to the second section to form the vapor-generating article.
METHOD AND SYSTEM THAT PRODUCES FORMED PARTS BY A MULTI-STAGE PRESS
A method of producing shaped parts includes drawing in the wire in cycles conveying the wire; severing wire portions in cycles; gripping and feeding the wire portion into work area; shaping the wire portion in multiple stages to form a shaped part with shank and head portions; ejecting formed shaped parts in cycles; transporting the fully formed shaped parts with a pneumatic conveyor system including a transporting pipe with an insertion opening: arranging the insertion opening near an ejector system such that the finished shaped parts can be inserted into the insertion opening directly in a positionally oriented manner by the ejector system; successively feeding the finished shaped parts into the transporting pipe by the ejector system; taking up the shaped parts inserted into the transporting pipe by suction into the transporting pipe; and pneumatically transporting the shaped parts through the transporting pipe in a direction of a subsequent station.
Processing device and processing system
A processing device of the invention includes a partition member partitioning a processing space and an external space, a frame body on which the partition member is mounted, a positioning unit for holding a workpiece at a predetermined position in the processing space, a processing unit for applying a predetermined process using a processing tool on the workpiece, an opening/closing member capable of opening/closing a first opening formed in the partition member, and an instrument attachment member to which a control instrument is attached, wherein the partition member has a plurality of uniform mounting sections on which the opening/closing member and the instrument attachment member are mutually selectively mounted.
