20150129710 | Mandrel for stretch film rolls - An adjustable mandrel for use with cored, or coreless rolls of stretch film is disclosed. The mandrel comprises a cylindrical shaft and a sheath. The shaft and sheath each comprise slanted regions that slide against each other when the shaft is moved relative to the sheath, and this sliding movement causes the radial displacement of the sheath such that the mandrel expands to press against the inner surface of a roll of stretch film. The displaced sheath portions retract when the shaft and sheath are disengaged and can be moved from the roll and reused. The even pressure exerted by the mandrel across the roll prevents deformation of the roll and waste of the film. | 05-14-2015 |

The surface may be patterned with an array of hemispherical cavities, which may be formed by growing the template around a temporary template layer of spherical or other crystals. The method involves growing a quantum well layer on the patterned surface. The topographical variations in the patterned surface of the template cause corresponding topographical variations in the quantum well layer. These variations in spatial orientation of portions of the quantum well layer cause the polarization field of the quantum well layer to vary across the surface of the LED, which leads to energy transition shifting that provides “white” light emission across a broad wavelength spectrum. | 08-30-2012 |

20160076296 | REINFORCEMENT ASSEMBLY FOR BANKNOTE DISPENSERS ON AUTOMATIC TELLER MACHINES - “REINFORCEMENT ASSEMBLY FOR BANKNOTE DISPENSERS ON AUTOMATIC TELLER MACHINES”, wherein it reinforces the banknote dispenser for ATM and Cash Dispenser equipment units using a protection system including carbon steel plates comprised of four pieces for assembling the protection system against direct impact attacks and use of explosives on the machine. This protection is fixed through welding, where no physical alteration is needed on the cassette module or on the ATM safe in order to install the protection device. This installation may be performed on the field by a properly trained and equipped technician. The protection system has already been tested and resisted to direct impact tests for a considerable period of time; on a real scenario, the sheer amount of time taken to gain access to the banknote is a strong enough reason for giving up on the theft, which shows the security device is successfully approved. | 03-17-2016 |

20140314910 | USE OF ACID STABLE PROTEASES IN ANIMAL FEED, PREFERABLY TO INCREASE PERFORMANCE OF COCC-VACCINATED BROILER CHICKENS - The invention relates to the use of at least one acid stable protease in poultry feed in combination with anti-coccidial vaccination of birds for increasing the performance of vaccinated animals. It has been found surprisingly that the additions of at least one acid stable protease according to the invention to the diet of “cocci”-vaccinated birds have a significant improvement of animal performance. The inventors found that especially the use of serin proteases improve the performance of vaccinated broiler chickens, in particular the use of serin proteases increases weight gain and improves Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) of cocci-vaccinated birds. | 10-23-2014 |

20080254750 | PRESENCE OF COMMUNICATION INTERLOCK METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REDUCING OR ELIMINATING AIRCRAFT COMMUNICATIONS RADIO INTERFERENCE - In one exemplary illustrative non-limiting aircraft radio communications system, a “POCI” (“Presence Of Communication Interlock”) is comprised of a double balanced low pass LC filter covering the voice range. The voice signals coming from the two VHF's are filtered and processed by an amplifier at an adequate level to be peak detected. The resulting signal is applied to an amplifier with a defined hysteresis and time constant and finally drives the relay interlock circuit that inhibits an ACARS VHF radio from transmitting whenever other on-board comm. VHF transceivers are receiving voice signals. Visual indicators provide information on system operation and system power failure. | 10-16-2008 |
