Delphi Technologies Opens Door For Licensing Opportunities
TROY, Mich., Feb. 19 -- Delphi Technologies, Inc. (DTI), a subsidiary of Delphi Corp. , is introducing several cutting-edge technologies and processes with licensing opportunities at the sixth annual Pacific Design & Manufacturing show in Anaheim, Calif., on February 19-21. These technologies are part of an expanding portfolio now available for companies to license and manufacture, providing access to Delphi's proven research and development capabilities. "Companies now have the chance to take advantage of Delphi's ability to develop leading technology," said Michelle Drage, director of Delphi Technologies licensing and commercialization organization. "The technologies displayed at the Pacific show are each very unique and demonstrate how Delphi, with over 16,000 engineers worldwide, can be a licensing source to other companies in a variety of industries. DTI is committed to making Delphi's technology portfolio available, allowing our partners access to technological solutions." Delphi innovations on display include: * Thermoplastic Elastomer Intumescent Fire Shield -- an intumescent fire shield material that when exposed to fire, forms an effective shield against the spread of fire and heat flow with no melting, dripping or burn-through. The material is inexpensive, lightweight, chemically resistant, sound deadening and retains mechanical strength in the event of a fire. The material has numerous uses in industries such as aerospace, construction, energy, manufacturing and transportation. * Annular Deformation Resistance Welding -- a revolutionary method for joining metal tubes to solids, sheet metal and other tubes using commonly used lean resistance welding equipment. This is a robust process with a wide weld schedule tolerance that welds parts that do not need close dimensional tolerancing. Benefits include producing parts equivalent to those that are MIG/TIG/Laser welded or Brazed at a significantly reduced cost while making tubular structural products viable. * Horizontally Structured Modeling (CAD/CAM Methodology) -- an industry-first process and method to accelerate, error proof, integrate and automate product and manufacturing math-based design. Using Horizontally Structured Modeling provides significant reduction in design costs and lead- time, and provides the foundation for further development and use of math- based technology for manufacturing applications.
