20130189004 | SELF-POSITIONING STRIPPER BAR APPARATUS AND SYSTEMS FOR BELT ROLL FUSER SYSTEMS - A self-positioning belt roll fuser stripping apparatus and system includes an internal pressure roll entraining a fuser belt. The internal pressure engages an external pressure roll to form a fusing nip. The internal pressure roll includes an internal pressure roll bearing to which a mounting plate is attached, allowing the mounting plate to move about a rotational axis of the internal pressure roll. A strip bar is attached to the mounting plate, and configured to force the fuser belt toward the external pressure roll. A mounting plate ski is configured to contact an external pressure roll bearing to limit movement of the mounting plate, positioning the strip shoe as desired when the mounting plate is moved to guide the strip show toward the fusing nip. | 07-25-2013 |

20150015252 | Methods and Kits for Detecting Non-Luminescent or Weakly Luminescent Metals - The invention provides methods and kits for detecting the presence of, the amount of or the concentration of a substantially non-emitting metal in a sample by a) providing a sensitizer to a chelator of the substantially non-emitting metal thereby creating a sensitized-metal complex; b) adding an unsensitized chelate, and c) detecting a signal from the unsensitized chelate. The substantially non-emitting metal may be gadolinium and may exist in complex with a chelator. The unsensitized chelate may be terbium (Tb) or europium (Eu), and the detecting a signal may be performed by fluorescence. | 01-15-2015 |

20140193760 | COATED ARTICLE, PROCESS OF COATING AN ARTICLE, AND METHOD OF USING A COATED ARTICLE - A coated article, a process of coating an article, and a process of using an article are disclosed. The coated article includes a substrate, a porous coating material, and a thermal barrier coating material. The porous coating material includes a porosity between about 1 percent and about 20 percent, by volume. The thermal barrier coating material has a thermal conductivity that is lower than a thermal conductivity of the substrate. The porous coating material differs in one or both of composition and microstructure from the thermal barrier coating material. Additionally or alternatively, the porous coating material resists at least one of sintering, densification, and phase destabilization for a predetermined period at a predetermined temperature. The process of coating an article includes applying a coating to form the coated article. | 07-10-2014 |

20120056436 | SYSTEM AND METHOD TO INCREASE THE OVERALL SYSTEM EFFICIENCY OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION BASED ELECTRIC GENERATORS - Disclosed are systems and methods to generate backup and remote electrical power, including operating an internal combustion engine to rotate a standard electrical generator. This approach can be based on a variety of engine types such as but not limited to diesel, gasoline, turbine and many other engine types. Each of these technologies have respective efficiency curves based on engine speed, load and many other factors. Often the maximum efficiency point is not the current load demand of the generator system. The disclosed systems and methods are directed to enabling the various generator sets to operate at or near their peak efficiency while they are running, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the generator systems. | 03-08-2012 |

20110039045 | CORRUGATED CONTAINER HAVING LINER LAYERS OF DIFFERENT DIMENSION - A corrugated fiberboard container and a method and apparatus for constructing corrugated fiberboard in which different liner materials are utilized for forming the container body and flaps. A corrugated fiberboard is disclosed for use in providing a container. The fiberboard includes: a first region that forms a container body; and a second region that forms a plurality of flaps; wherein the first region and the second region are formed from a fluted medium having a liner adhered to a side of the fluted medium, wherein the liner includes: a first layer that substantially covers both the first region and the second region; and a second layer adhered to the first layer, wherein the second layer covers the first region and is omitted from covering at least a substantial portion of the second region. | 02-17-2011 |
