20110250417 | Dimensional Lumber Structural Substitute - Dimensional lumber subjected to structural load regimes, where moment is the dominate load condition, usually fail structurally by initial localized compressive failure located at or near the maximum compressive extreme fiber. Said localized compressive failure, exhibited by buckling failure of maximum compressive fiber, results in an overall increase of section-modulus. The increase in section modulus, due to onset of structural failure, allows the lumber element in question to provide post-structural-failure increase in load-carrying-capacity with the trade-off of an increase in load-vs-deflection ratio. Said increase in load-carrying-capacity due to the increase in section-modulus, or thickening of the lumber element continues as an applied load is increased until the lumber element's tensile extreme fiber's capacity is exceeded, at which event the lumber element structurally fails catastrophically. The present invention, unlike previously disclosed compositions, unexpectedly mimics the stiffness and failure-mode structural characteristics of traditional dimensional lumber. A comparison of test data shows the present invention possesses unexpected improved properties that the present art does not have. | 10-13-2011 |

20100132264 | BI-FLOW INFLATABLE DOOR SEALS - An example of an inflatable seal for a door includes a bi-directional airflow pattern of frost-inhibiting heated air. The bi-directional flow pattern enables the seal's discharge opening and supply air blower to both be located well above the floor and preferably above the doorway. If the discharge opening is near the suction inlet of the blower, such an arrangement makes it possible to recover previously heated air by returning some of the warm air back to the blower. In some examples, the seal includes a supply air conduit and a return air conduit with one disposed within the other. The internal conduit may include a relatively stiff elbow to prevent that conduit from becoming kinked near an upper corner of the door. | 06-03-2010 |
20100218429 | UPPER SEAL FOR A HORIZONTAL SIDE-MOVING DOOR - An example of a horizontal side-moving door with a side-winding or horizontally translating curtain includes an upper seal comprising an upper edge of the curtain sliding within a groove of a seal guide. To protect the door in the event of an impact, at least a portion of the curtain's upper edge can restorably pull out from within the groove. To avoid damage in certain situations, the seal guide might resiliently deflect as well. After an impact, the curtain's upper edge is automatically fed back into the groove by simply opening and closing the door. During normal operation, the curtain's upper edge advantageously deflects in response to air pressure against either side of the door. In some examples, the seal guide is of a uniform cross-section, which makes the seal guide easy to manufacture by way of a conventional plastic extrusion process. | 09-02-2010 |
