The present disclosure contemplates the use of a bond resisting substance (e.g., conductive grease, dry powder, etc.) applied between a bonding sheet and circuit board of a fluid sensor of a welding-type power supply. In some examples, the bond resisting substance prevents unwanted and/or excessive bonding of the bonding sheet to the circuit board, thereby preventing erroneous fluid detections by the fluid sensor.

Disclosed herein are welding-type power supplies with noise management capabilities. In some examples, the noise management capabilities include the ability to estimate an amount and/or level of audible noise that is currently being made (or that will be made) by the power supply (and/or by a particular device of the power supply). In some examples, the noise management capabilities additionally include the ability to regulate the power supply (and/or a particular device of the power supply) so that the generated noise stays below a set threshold. These noise management capabilities may be helpful if, for example, the welding-type power supply operates in a noise sensitive area (e.g., near a hospital, school, etc.), and/or if there are labor standards and/or local government regulations that prohibit/regulate noise levels above a given threshold.

A method for enhancing door openability of a freezer unit (10) when the door is in the closed position and a low-pressure condition exists within the internal compartment of the freezer unit is provided. The freezer unit includes a cabinet (12) defining an internal compartment (14) with an access opening, a cooling system (16), and a door (20) movable between a closed position covering the access opening and an open condition uncovering the access opening. The door carries a perimeter gasket (26) engageable with a face of the cabinet, when the door is in the closed position. The method involves utilizing a door to cabinet gap limiter (30) to limit compression of the gasket between the door and the cabinet when the door is in the closed position and the low-pressure condition exists. The door to cabinet gap limiter may be adjustable.

A kit for attaching to a rotating belt assembly includes a drive roller and an idler roller spaced from the drive roller and an endless belt that is supported and rotated in a direction of travel about the drive roller and the idler roller. The kit includes a fixture configured to be positioned on endless belt and move therewith, wherein the fixture is configured to retain one or more components. The kit includes one or more straps configured to engage the fixture, wherein each of the one or more straps is configured to create at least a partial loop about the endless belt, wherein each of the one or more straps is in tension.

A cleaning apparatus includes cleaning modules configured to treat electronic substrates and a conveyor system configured to transport the electronic substrates through the cleaning modules. The conveyor system includes a bottom belt assembly having a bottom wire mesh belt having first links configured to achieve a first elevation and second links configured to achieve a second elevation. The second elevation are higher than the first elevation. The conveyor system further includes a top belt assembly spaced from the bottom belt assembly. The top belt assembly includes a top wire mesh belt having third links. The bottom belt assembly and the top belt assembly are configured to receive an electronic substrate therebetween to transport the electronic substrate along the conveyor system and through the at least one cleaning module.

The present invention relates to the configuration of a material testing apparatus.. A control system is provided comprising one or more processors; and a memory storing computer executable instructions therein. The instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to provide a user interface for configuration of the material testing apparatus at a user interface device associated with the material testing apparatus. The user interface comprises a hardware input field comprising a plurality of selectable hardware fixtures for the material testing apparatus; and one or more configuration input fields each indicative of a configuration parameter for the material testing apparatus. The control system determines, in dependence on a hardware input provided to the hardware input field, a selected hardware fixture of the plurality of selectable hardware fixtures; controls the user interface to restrict an available input for at least one of the configuration input fields in dependence on the selected hardware fixture; determines, in dependence on a configuration input provided to the one or more configuration input fields, a selected configuration parameter for each of the one or more configuration input fields; and outputs a control signal to configure the material testing apparatus according to each selected configuration parameter.

A system includes a food product slicer that includes: a base; a knife mounted for rotation about an axis relative to the base via a knife drive shaft; the knife drive shaft includes an end portion that overlaps an externally facing surface portion of the knife to hold the knife, and a biasing mechanism pressing the knife toward an underside of the end portion. A knife removal tool is configured for engaging with the knife drive shaft and the knife so as to remove the knife from the knife drive shaft. The knife removal tool is configured to: enable removal of the knife from the knife drive shaft (i) irrespective of a rotational position of the knife removal tool relative to any fixed portion of the food product slicer; and/or (ii) irrespective of a rotational position of the knife relative to any fixed portion of the food product slicer.

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Spülmaschine (1) in Gestalt einer Geschirrkorbdurchschubspülmaschine oder Haubenspülmaschine, welche eine mit einer zumindest im Wesentlichen vertikal bewegbaren Haube (3) verschließbare Behandlungskammer (2) aufweist, in welcher mindestens ein Spülkorb / Besteckkorb / Adapterkorb (6) insbesondere mit entsprechend aufgenommenem Spülgut aufnehmbar ist Erfindungsgemäß ist insbesondere ein Positionier- und/oder Ausrichtungssystem vorgesehen, welches ausgebildet ist, beim Bewegen der Haube (3) in einen Zustand, in welchem die Behandlungskammer (2) mit Hilfe der Haube (3) verschlossen wird oder ist, einen in der Behandlungskammer (2) aufgenommenen Spülkorb / Besteckkorb / Adapterkorb (6) in eine vorab festgelegte oder festlegbare Position und/oder Ausrichtung zu überführen.

Disclosed example systems system to provide support for customized material testing systems, include: a support server configured to supplement the query with information identifying one or more of the identifiable components; a knowledge base comprising troubleshooting information related to a plurality of material testing systems and a plurality of identifiable components; a knowledge base editor configured to transmit a user interface for input of troubleshooting information and to modify the knowledge base based on inputs received via the user interface; and a query processing server configured to: generate a response to the query by processing the natural language user input, the information identifying the one or more of the identifiable components, and the troubleshooting information; and provide the response and a selection of the troubleshooting information to the user device, the selection of the troubleshooting information being based on the response.

Systems and methods are provided for quick connect laser torch consumables and accessories. A laser welding torch may include a plurality of torch components, with at least two torch components being configured to engage one another when assembling the laser welding torch. One or more torch components of the plurality of torch components may incorporate one or more indexing features and/or connect features configured for enabling quick connect and alignment of at least the two torch components of the plurality of torch components during the assembling of the laser welding torch. The indexing features may include at least one of a key feature and a slot feature. The connect features may include a plurality of different connect positions.
