Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is a method and apparatus for heat treating. This invention relates to a method and apparatus for surface hardening metals over selected areas on a workpiece by means of a concentrated beam of electrons. The electron beam is directed and focused to the surface of the workpiece and is caused to move continuously along a predetermined path over a localized area on the surface. The path is traversed a preset number of times while the instantaneous speed of the beam along the path is varied and the electron beam current is varied in order to bring the selected area of the workpiece above the transformation temperature and close to the melting temperature and maintain it at this temperature for a predetermined time. The beam current is then discontinued to allow the material to be quenched and surface hardened locally.

Another notable patent is the electron beam seam finding device. This invention relates to a method and apparatus for determining the relative position between the point of impingement of an electron beam on a work surface and the seam between parts to be welded. The seam is scanned by oscillating a low power electron beam along a path transverse to the scan. The variation in secondary electrons generated as the beam traverses the seam is detected and amplified. The amplified signal is then acted upon by an electronic converter which converts the wave form by instantaneously taking the Nth root at each point of the curve representing the wave form of the amplified secondary electron current wave form so as to improve the resolution of the signal and make possible an improved definition at the point of impingement of the beam with respect to the seam.
