20110201486 | SINGLE-FOLD INTERFOLDING MACHINE WITH ABILITY TO PRODUCE OFF-FOLDED TOWEL OR TISSUE PRODUCTS - A method and apparatus are provided, for forming a stack of interfolded sheets of porous material including a leading panel having a partial-panel width joined along a fold line to a trailing panel having a full-panel width, by controlling the position of leading edges of the sheets both upstream and downstream from the nip between the interfolding rolls of the folding machine with vacuum applied through corresponding vacuum ports disposed in the periphery of the folding rolls at circumferential distances equal to the partial panel length ahead of each gripper and tucker in the direction of rotation. Sufficient suction is applied to hold both the leading edge of the leading panel of a given sheet and an underlying portion of the trailing panel of the immediately preceding sheet against the periphery of one of the other of the rolls downstream from the nip. | 08-18-2011 |
20120190524 | FOLDING APPARATUS AND METHOD - Apparatuses and methods of forming discrete stacks of a plurality of zig-zag folded panels are provided. The apparatus and methods include defining a sheet to form all of the panels of the discrete stack of panels. The sheet may be defined by cutting the sheet from the web prior to folding the web into the interconnected panels for each sheet. The sheet may be defined by forming a separation line prior to folding the web into the interconnected panels for each sheet and then separating the sheet from the web of material at the separation line after the web of material is folded into the interconnected panels. | 07-26-2012 |
20120270716 | TUBE IN A TUBE MECHANICAL FOLDING ROLL - A processing roll having rotatable outer tube mounted on a non-rotatable inner tube by a fluid valving arrangement, is provided. The fluid valving arrangement provides angularly controlled transfer of fluid between a cavity on the inside of the inner tube and ports distributed longitudinally along an outer surface of the outer tube, while also providing distributed bearing support of either the outer tube on the inner tube, or the inner tube on the outer tube, at a plurality of locations along a longitudinal axis of the processing roll. | 10-25-2012 |

20150312350 | MULTI-CHANNEL SENSOR MEASUREMENT METHOD AND SYSTEM - Sensor modules are triggered to start and stop the measurement approximately synchronously by sending a broadcast message. Information on the timeline of local clocks is also collected by local counters, and any relative differences in the local clocks, local sample clocks or local time stamps are rectified afterwards by means of the collected timeline information. | 10-29-2015 |

20100059205 | Cooling arrangement for conveyors and other applications - A conveyor for moving hot material at temperatures on this order of 1000° F. or higher along a trough receiving the material has one or more cooling liquid flow vessels extending over but spaced from the outer surface of a trough inner wall to indirectly cause cooling of the inner wall. A heat transfer connection conductively interconnect the vessel and the inner trough wall such as interposed thin webs or plates, or alternatively a mass of conductive beads interposed to controllably transfer heat into the cooling liquid flow vessel. A series of wear plates are clamped to a pushing side of a helical tube of an auger type conveyor, which tube can also receive a flow of cooling liquid. The arrangement of a mass of conductive beads is used to provide a non rigid mechanical support of fluid carrying tubing, the support having a predetermined thermal conductivity. | 03-11-2010 |

20100075830 | Activated carbon separation and reuse - A method of treating spent sorbent from power plants containing materials including mercury absorbed from emission gases comprising putting said spent sorbent in an atmosphere isolated container or furnace chamber and heating said sorbent by microwave, radio frequency and/or infrared irradiation. The sorbent is heated to a temperature of at least the boiling point of the major contaminant, including mercury. No air or purge gas is added except to maintain safe pressure conditions, to control combustion of the sorbent and increase efficiency. The resulting vapor is released through an exhaust port of the chamber that leads to a condenser where mercury is condensed and separated. Other residual vapors are led to a scrubber for further cleansing and may be returned to the power plant for other applications. The hot treated sorbent is cooled down prior to contacting with air for later reuse in the power plant. | 03-25-2010 |

20090133359 | Structural member joints - A connector and method for joining one end of a first wood member such as a wood log or beam to a side of a second wood member involving metal sleeves secured in aligned holes in a respective member with a protruding one of the sleeve slidable into the other sleeve. A bolt is threaded into an internally threaded element on the inner end of the sleeve in the first member and advanced to pull the members together. The sleeves are secured in the holes with spike features driven out into the surrounding wood. Alternatively, a tee connector has a plate portion fitting into a slot extending through aligned holes in the plate and one end of the first member. A cross plate is held against the one side of the other member with thread fasteners. | 05-28-2009 |
20090272462 | Double chain saw arrangement for trail clearing - A double chain saw arrangement which has diametrically oppositely extending chain saws powered by a single motor driving two sprockets on said hub, each engaged with an associated chain saw chains on each chain saw bar mounted to the hub. A series of hooked capture pieces project from one side of the chain saw bars in a plane parallel to the chain saw bars, which pieces act to cause brush and limbs to be captured and forced into contact with the saw chains to be cut thereby. | 11-05-2009 |

20090159790 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DESORBING AND IONIZING CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS FROM SURFACES - The invention relates to a method and system for ionizing analyte-containing sample lying on a surface of a substrate. The method comprises directing to the sample a heated flow of desorption gas in order to desorb analyte from the surface, and simultaneously directing to the sample light capable of ionizing the desorbed analyte in the presence of the desorption gas. The invention provides a method and system suitable for efficiently producing ions of neutral and nonpolar molecules on surfaces, for example for mass spectrometric purposes. | 06-25-2009 |

20160040461 | Magnetic Lock - A magnetic lock is presented. The magnetic lock includes a base having a cylindrical opening disposed therein, and having a first magnetic element disposed in a bottom surface of the cylindrical opening of the base. The lock further includes an insert removably securable within the cylindrical opening of the base, the insert having a second magnetic element disposed along a bottom surface thereof. When the insert is inserted into the cylindrical opening of the base and the first magnetic element of the base is aligned with the second magnetic element of the insert the insert is locked within the cylindrical opening of the base. When the insert is rotated within the cylindrical opening of the base to a position wherein the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element are not aligned with each other the insert is removable from the cylindrical opening of the base. | 02-11-2016 |
