20100159053 | Apparatus for Making a Shingle, and Shingle Made Thereby - An apparatus for making a shingle, together with the shingle made thereby, is provided, in which one or more thermoplastic materials are extruded or co-extruded to form an extrudate, with the extrudate being cut into a preliminary shingle shape, which is allowed to dissipate heat, and then is delivered to a compression mold, wherein the preliminary shingle shape is compression molded to substantially its final dimensions and is then discharged from the mold and allowed to cool. | 06-24-2010 |
20110057399 | SKATE STRIP-BLADE HOLDER - An ice skate strip-blade holder that provides a means to remove, replace, tension, and maintain tension in a strip-blade fastened and tensioned on the holder. In a preferred embodiment, the strip-blade holder assembly includes a front segment fixed to the skate plastic superstructure; a latched, pivoting rear segment arranged to apply and maintain tension in the strip-blade. In a preferred embodiment, the pivot and latch are positioned such that the pivot carries the majority of the tensile load maintained in the strip-blade and the latch carries a minor component of this tensile load. This arrangement provides for easy latch release. The latch provides release of the rear segment for subsequent pivoting and unhooking of the strip-blade for replacement. | 03-10-2011 |

20080236079 | Process of Treating a Synthetic Shingle and Shingle Made Thereby - Synthetic shingles are made and treated, such that upper surfaces thereof that are to be weather-exposed in the installed condition, are scuffed, abraded, or scraped in such a manner that different visual appearances occur between abraded zones and unabraded (or lesser abraded) depressions, to enhance the natural-appearing materials that the synthetic shingles are designed to resemble. The shingles and the abrading medium have motion relative to each other. The abrading medium may take on various forms, such as a roller, a brush, a pad, etc. Some portions of the upper surface of the shingle remain unabraded, preferably being those portions that are depressed relative to higher portions of the shingle. The shingle may be of a single layer construction, or a multi-layer laminate. | 10-02-2008 |
20100252956 | PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR MOLDING A SHINGLE, FOR COOLING A SHINGLE, FOR APPLYING A CURVATURE THERETO AND CARRIER PLATE FOR FACILITATING THE PROCESS - Shingle material, preferably comprising a core with a capstock applied thereto is extruded preferably by means of a co-extrusion process onto a series of Individual carrier plates, with the shingle material then being severed such that each carrier plate carries its own layer of shingle material thereon and the carrier plates are then delivered to a compression mold in which the shingle is molded. The carrier plate and shingle Is then removed from the mold and carried through a series of hold-down stations, after which the shingle is delivered to a trimmer, where flashing is simultaneously trimmed from its edges. The shingle Is then cooled, preferably by sandwiching it between upper and lower retention members which are cooled via a cooling tower. The retention members impart a curvature to the shingle. The carrier plates are returned via a return conveyor to be heated, for re-use | 10-07-2010 |

20120201731 | ZEOLITE CATALYST CONTAINING METAL - Provided is a catalyst comprising (a) a zeolite material having a mean crystal size of at least about 0.5 μm, having a CHA framework that contains silicon and aluminum, and having a silica-to-alumina mole ratio (SAR) of about 10 to about 25; and (b) an extra-framework promoter metal (M) disposed in said zeolite material as free and/or exchanged metal, wherein the extra-framework promoter metal is copper, iron, and mixtures thereof, and is present in a promoter metal-to-aluminum atomic ratio (M:Al) of about 0.10 to about 0.24 based on the framework aluminum; and optionally comprising (c) at least about 1 weight percent of cerium in said zeolite material, based on the total weight of the zeolite, wherein said cerium is present in a form selected from exchanged cerium ions, monomeric ceria, oligomeric ceria, and combinations thereof, provided that said oligomeric ceria has a particle size of less than 5 μm. | 08-09-2012 |
20140037523 | ZEOLITE CATALYST CONTAINING METAL - A catalyst composition is provided having a zeolite material of a CHA crystal structure and a silica to alumina mole ratio (SAR) of about 10 to about 25 and preferably having a mean crystal size of at least 1.0 microns; and a non-aluminum base metal (M), wherein said zeolite material contains said base metal in a base metal to aluminum ratio (M:Al) of about 0.10 to about 0.24. | 02-06-2014 |
20150064074 | ZEIOLITE CATALYST CONTAINING METAL - A catalyst composition is provided wherein the composition includes a zeolite having a non-phosphorous CHA crystal structure and having a mean crystalline size of about 1 to about 5 microns; and at least one non-aluminum base metal present in an amount sufficient to achieve a NOx conversion of at least about 65% at a temperature of at least 450° C. | 03-05-2015 |

20080240119 | User interface for modeling estimations of resource provisioning - User interfaces are described for modeling estimations of resource provisioning. An example user interface may request a display of graphical indicators associated with nodes and edges, request a determination of an indicator of a service node workload associated with a service node included in a workflow path based on attribute values associated with the service node and an indicator of a propagated workload, and request provisioning of service nodes onto hardware nodes. The nodes may include external invocation nodes, service nodes, and hardware nodes, and the edges may include node connectors. An indication of an arrangement of an external invocation node, a group of service nodes, a group of node connectors, and a group of hardware nodes may be received, wherein the arrangement may be configured by a user interacting with the displayed graphical indicators, and may represent a workflow path. | 10-02-2008 |
20080244606 | Method and system for estimating resource provisioning - A method and system are described for estimating resource provisioning. An example method may include obtaining a workflow path including an external invocation node and respective groups of service nodes, node connectors, and hardware nodes, and including a directed ordered path indicating ordering of a flow of execution of services associated with the service nodes, from the external invocation node, to a hardware node, determining an indicator of a service node workload based on attribute values associated with a service node and an indicator of a propagated workload based on combining attribute values associated with the external invocation node and other service nodes or node connectors preceding the service node in the workflow path based on the ordering, and provisioning the service node onto a hardware node based on combining the indicator of the service node workload and an indicator of a current resource demand associated with the hardware node. | 10-02-2008 |
