20090110523 | Tilt deck vehicle with rear impact guard ramp - A vehicle has a frame supported on wheels. A tilt deck is pivotally attached to a rear of the frame. A deck latch locks the tilt deck to the frame in the transport position. A ramp pivotally attached to the deck moves from an inclined position, where the ramp slopes downward and a rear end of the ramp is a desired distance above the ground, to an aligned position aligned with the deck. A ramp latch locks the ramp to the tilt deck in the inclined position. The apparatus is configured such that when the deck latch is released the rear end of the tilt deck moves down until the rear end of the ramp rests on the ground. Releasing the ramp latch allows the tilt deck to move downward and the ramp can move to the aligned position in response to a downward force exerted on the ramp. | 04-30-2009 |

20110166953 | DYNAMIC ORDERING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MATERIAL USAGE AND LABOR PRICING - A system and method for calculating graphite material usage and labor pricing including the following parameters: category, material, class, dimensions, and quantity. The information is used for improved efficiency via web-based graphite purchasing. The method takes into consideration the additional labor cost when very small dimensions are entered which require special work holding containment. The process requires that the user make a selection for each of the parameters so a validation step can occur ensuring the desired product can be manufactured and an accurate labor charge or quote can be provided. During the calculation step, the labor surface area is applied to the labor cost based on the calculated surface area which is derived from a second degree equation derived by a linear regression curve that is applied to the labor cost based on the calculated surface area. After the calculation step the price each and total quantity price is returned. | 07-07-2011 |
