20120112905 | RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION SAFETY SYSTEM - A safety system indicating encroachment near dangerous equipment which is activated upon activation of the equipment is provided. The safety system has a transponder having unique identification information embedded in a microchip and an internal power supply. A corresponding reader is coupled to a power supply of the equipment, and has a transceiver and a scanning antenna which outputs a first radio-frequency signal to a pre-programmed radius. When the power supply of the equipment is flowing, the reader is put into an active state capable of receiving information from the transponder. When the transponder encroaches on the pre-programmed radius, the signal of the reader identifies the transponder's identification information, the transponder transmits data to the transceiver using the internal power supply, and the transceiver sends a second radio wave signal to a base unit causing a programmable logic controller to trigger a remote alarm. | 05-10-2012 |

20090051975 | SHEET TURNAROUND ASSEMBLY - A sheet turnaround assembly including a drive shaft positioned laterally across a transport path from a processing system, a plurality of drive wheels axially coupled to and positioned in a spaced fashion along the drive shaft, and a plurality of continuous belts, one belt corresponding to each drive wheel. Each belt is positioned so that its outside surface is tensioned against and forms a desired wrap angle about the corresponding drive wheel to create an arcuate turnaround path there between extending between input and output nips formed by initial and final points of contact between the belt and the drive wheel. The sheet turnaround is configured to receive a thermally developed sheet of photothermographic imaging media from a thermal processor at the input nip via the transport path. Rotation of the drive wheels by the drive shaft causes the outside surface of each belt to run along the corresponding drive wheel and drive the developed sheet along and expel the developed sheet from the turnaround path at the output nip to an output device after turning the developed sheet from the transport path by an angle substantially equal to the wrap angle. | 02-26-2009 |

20120165136 | BATTING TEE - The batting tee has a durable base having a bushing installed therein and telescoping metal ball support pipes extending upwardly therefrom. A protective boot may be installed over the base of the support pipe assembly and bushing to provide a more pleasing appearance and to preclude entry of debris into the threaded connections. The height of the telescoping pipe segments may be locked by a threaded collar at the top of each pipe section. A flexible rod serves as the penultimate component. A replaceable plastic ball holder extends from the upper end of the rod. The ball holder receives the greatest number of inadvertent strikes during play, and accordingly it may be easily replaced if damaged. The flexible rod can flex and bend when the replaceable ball holder is struck, thereby greatly reducing impact force upon the ball holder to provide greater longevity for the holder. | 06-28-2012 |

Each cylinder has two opposed pistons connecting cam followers pivoted to the rotor which reciprocate upon rotation. During the intake stroke the pistons separate as intake valve opens, fuel mixture fills the cylinder and closes, the pistons compress the mixture. The rotor ports are aligned with the spark plugs within the bearing supports. Ignited gasses force the pistons apart causing the cam followers to push against the cam housing providing thrust to the rotor. The exhaust valve is opened as the pistons contract. Four strokes are completed each rotation. The mechanisms valves can be configured as a pump or a motor. | 07-30-2009 |
