A system that allows a material to be marked while still on the CNC tooling table and allows an operator to input marking information just prior to, or even during, the tooling cycle. The present invention comprises a sequence controller associated with a computer readable medium and adapted for communication with the CNC controller. An HMI device and a marker controller are also connected with the sequence controller. A lifter assembly is connected with the sequence controller to raise and lower a marker assembly. The lifter assembly is connected to the gantry of the CNC tooling system with an adaptor block. The present invention provides the advantage of reduced time when compared to marking the part at a separate station remotely located from the CNC system, and allows the operator to input marking information just prior to or during the CNC tooling cycle.

Material marking system and method incorporating an HMI device

A reel assembly for an electrical cable wherein the electrical cable is de-energized during winding and unwinding thereof.

A multi-function safety service valve operable both manually and automatically through a toggle fuse-linked joint as located to interconnect the piping of an LP Gas bulk storage tank and a flexible hose connected to fill an LP Gas transport tank on a truck.

Thermal-manual control valve

An internal combustion engine of the spark or diesel ignition type and having an anti-pollution arrangement for the reduction of the products of incomplete combustion and crankcase evaporation and said arrangement including a turbine adapted to receive exhaust gases and being connected to the engine through an overriding clutch to drive the turbine yet allowing for overriding faster rotation of the turbine through secondary ignition of the exhaust or other unburned gases. The turbine includes a fuel supply to aid in ignition of exhaust gases and may include a fuel supply with an aromatic indicator fluid which loses its aroma upon oxidation at a predetermined temperature thereby indicating if the turbine temperature is high enough to completely eliminate unburned exhaust and other gases without recycling said gases through the engine.

Automotive engine exhaust -- clean air system

A vehicle shock absorber is provided and includes a cylindrical shaped housing rotatably mounted on a central sleeve on a shaft on a vehicle body. A shock absorber band which assumes a circular shape in the form of a leaf spring is disposed around the inside of the housing periphery. One end of the shock absorber leaf spring may be fixedly attached on the housing inner periphery; the other end of the shock absorber spring is connected to a flexible chain passing around a roller in the housing and connecting with a rotatable sleeve which has a cam surface about which the chain can be wound. An elongated steel leaf spring is connected by a flexible belt to both the outer periphery of the housing and to a wheel and axle means. The chain winding sleeve is rotated about its associated shaft for adjusting the tension on the belt for proper shock absorber cushioning effect. The cylindrical shaped housing is held on the supporting sleeve by an adjusting and locking nut.
