20120095581 | COMPUTERIZED SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING SUPPLY CHAIN ORDERS - A computerized system and method for supply chain order aids a manufacturer's production control departments in setting manufacturer production schedules and purchase schedules. A computerized production control system in communication with a computerized ordering system presents a consistent demand level to reduce changes to the purchase and delivery schedules. A next day production schedule is adjusted to keep total demand within the supply chain constant. At the end of a production day, actual production is compared to an original production plan to calculate an adjustment value. The adjustment value is applied to the next day's production schedule to revise the production schedule. If the actual number of units produced is lower than the planned number of units, units are added to the next day's purchase schedule to determine a revised purchase schedule. Other adjustments may be made if the actual number of units produced exceeds the planned number of units. | 04-19-2012 |

20100248361 | PLATELET PRODUCTION METHODS - The present invention provides platelet production methods. The method comprises the steps of providing a cellular material and culturing the cellular material, wherein platelets are produced. The culturing may be performed on 2D or 3D cell support structure or in suspension culture. In some embodiments, all or a part of the 2D or 3D culturing may be performed in a bioreactor. In some embodiments, the method may further comprise a step of isolating a subset of cells from the starting cellular material, wherein the isolated subset of cells is then cultured, wherein platelets are produced. In yet other embodiments, the method comprises the steps of providing a cellular material, isolating a subset of cells, seeding the subset of cells into a 3D scaffold, culturing the subset of cells in a 3D scaffold, seeding the cultured subset of cells into a bioreactor, culturing the subset of cells in a bioreactor, and harvesting the cells from the bioreactor, wherein platelets are produced. | 09-30-2010 |

20120256149 | Roll Up Gate System - A gate system for use with a gate opening which spans between two opposing ends includes an elongate sheet of flexible mesh fencing material spanning in a longitudinal direction between a first end and a second end thereof and which is wound onto a shaft coupled to the first end of the sheet. A housing rotatably supports the shaft therein such that the sheet of flexible mesh fencing material is arranged to be dispensed through an elongate dispensing slot in the housing to span the gate opening. Connectors on the housing and on the second end of the fencing allow selective mounting to appropriate mounts at opposing ends of the gate opening which remain engaged when the first end of the fencing material is wound onto the shaft sufficiently that the remainder of the fencing material spans under a prescribed tension across the gate opening. | 10-11-2012 |

20110056602 | RIGID AIR VALVE - A rigid air valve comprises a valve body and a valve stem. The valve body has a shoulder for abutting an inner cylindrical surface of the wheel. A first protruding portion extends radially outwardly from the shoulder into a valve hole. The first protruding portion extends to a tire-side surface of the wheel. A second protruding portion extends both radially inwardly and axially outwardly through a hole in a center plate of the wheel to thereby define a curved air passageway extending from a first opening in the first protruding portion to a second opening in the second protruding portion. The valve stem has external threads for engaging complementary internal threads inside the second protruding portion. The valve stem includes a valve for selectively admitting air into a tire when mounted on the wheel. This valve is robust and durable, reduces inflation time and eliminates leaky spuds and O-rings. | 03-10-2011 |

20110105702 | OLEFIN POLYMERISATION PROCESS - A continuous process for manufacturing a polyolefin resin in at least two reactors in series is described, in which: in a first polymerisation reactor, an olefin is polymerised continuously in the presence of a catalyst and a diluent to produce a first suspension comprising the diluent and polyolefin particles; at least a portion of said first suspension is transferred from the first polymerisation reactor to a second polymerisation reactor where further polymerisation takes place; a further suspension comprising diluent and polymer particles is withdrawn from the second reactor and transferred to two separators, in each of which separators a diluent-rich flow and a concentrated suspension of polyolefin particles are formed and separated, wherein the diluent-rich flow from one separator is recycled to a reactor preceding the second reactor, and the diluent-rich flow from the other separator is recycled to the second reactor. The invention enables higher separator efficiencies to be achieved. | 05-05-2011 |

20090145420 | Disposable Microwaveable Food Container Warmer - A disposable enclosure or sealed envelope packet configured to be used for the purpose of warming objects and utensils intended for use in conjunction with prepared food products. The warming packet incorporates organic material and is shaped and sized to be positioned next to a food container and to thereby keep the container warm as well as the food within or on the container. The organic material contained within the packet is susceptible to warming by microwave ovens and retains such heat energy for a period of time to assist in the maintenance of warmth in the food products. In a preferred embodiment, flat circular shaped packets are designed to incorporate organic materials such as a starch (rice grains or the like) as well as a heat retention material (such as crystalline salt). The packets are heated in a microwave oven, individually or collectively in a stack, and then placed in between empty plates for the purposes of maintaining the plates in a warm condition prior to being used to serve food. In addition, the present invention anticipates a removable, re-usable cover for the individual packets that would facilitate the handling of the packets and provide a more attractive surface upon which the service ware and the food might be placed. | 06-11-2009 |
