| 20080201254 | Method and system for computer-implemented procurement from pre-qualified suppliers - In preferred embodiments, a supplier enablement method including the steps of identifying and assessing capabilities of potential suppliers; engaging (pre-qualifying) selected potential suppliers; and enabling automated transactions (e.g., purchase orders and billing) between a buyer and each engaged supplier. Preferred embodiments of the method implement supplier enablement in three phases: supplier selection by a buyer; activation of each selected supplier; and management of relationships between the buyer and each selected supplier. Preferably, each phase has three subphases: the supplier selection phase includes identification of potential suppliers; assessment of their capabilities; and engagement of selected potential suppliers; the activation phase includes registration of each engaged supplier; content provision; and enablement of transaction business documents (e.g., purchase orders) for use by each buyer and engaged supplier; and the management phase includes collaboration operations, compliance operations, and improvement operations. Other aspects are processors programmed to perform one or more individual steps of any embodiment of the method, and computer readable media which store code for implementing any embodiment of the method. | 08-21-2008 |

| 20100156582 | PARK LOCK SOLENOID - A solenoid for a park lock mechanism wherein an annular frame has a reduced diameter at one end and receives a bobbin with a coil wound thereon with the bobbin projecting outward of the coil at one end and defining an integral bearing positioned in the one end of the annular frame. A magnetic permeable sintered metal bushing is interposed between the integrated bearing of the bobbin and the one end of the annular frame. A plunger is received in the bobbin for sliding movement relative thereto. The plunger has a first reduced section at one end that includes an element for connecting to a shifter and a second reduce section at its other end that projects out of said bobbin. The solenoid has two operating conditions, a first condition in which no magnetic force is applied to the plunger and a connected shifter is locked, and a second condition in which magnetic force is applied to the plunger and a connected shifter is unlocked for shifting. A manual release is provided for coacting with the plunger for putting the solenoid into the second condition in the absence of power. | 06-24-2010 |

| 20090298975 | Synthetic Resins in Casein-Stabilized Rosin Size Emulsions - A process for forming a rosin-containing size emulsion for paper sizing, in which a basic aqueous first mixture containing at least partially saponified rosin is mixed with a basic aqueous dispersion of casein and formed into an oil-in-water emulsion, wherein an emulsion-stabilizing amount of a casein-compatible rosin-emulsifying synthetic resin is substituted for a portion of the casein, the portion being within a range of about 1-80% by weight of the casein. | 12-03-2009 |

| 20110281255 | BIOLOGICAL PROCESS FOR CONVERTING ORGANIC BY-PRODUCTS OR WASTES INTO RENEWABLE ENERGY AND USABLE PRODUCTS - Apparatus for the treatment of organic waste streams is disclosed, in which the organic waste stream is treated in order to reduce the average particle size prior to entry into a biological reactor. The use of a mechanical device to reduce this average particle size while simultaneously mixing the organic waste stream increases the efficiency of the biological reactor. The mechanical device is preferably one which causes attrition and reduction in the average particle size of the organic waste stream. This results in a lower viscosity feed to the biological reactor, and therefore a far more efficient process, which can therefore handle a feed stream of greater concentration than was previously thought to be possible. | 11-17-2011 |

| 20090166369 | CONTAINER HAVING AN ARTICULATED COVER - The covers stack together in two different ways. First, the covers can be stacked into an “aligned” stack. The aligned stack provides structural rigidity for bulk handling during manufacturing. Second, the covers can be stacked into a “locked” stack. The locked stack provides even more structural rigidity than does the aligned stack and is useful when storing unused covers. The cover includes a first closure portion, an engagement portion, and an alignment portion. The base includes a second closure portion. The first closure portion of the cover is sealingly engageable with the second closure portion of the base to define a sealed storage area. The alignment portion of the cover is engageable with the alignment portion of a second cover to form an aligned cover stack. The engagement portion of the cover is engageable with the engagement portion of a second cover to form a locked cover stack. The cover further includes at least one articulation element circumscribing the engagement portion of the cover and that provides flexibility to the cover allowing the engagement portion of the cover to easily articulate upwardly or downwardly. | 07-02-2009 |
| 20090173038 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR EVACUATING STORAGE BAG - To enhance evacuation of a storage bag having a one-way valve element and to reduce noise during evacuation, a handheld evacuation device includes one or more gaskets that can be made of resilient material. A gasket can be disposed about the rim of an inlet opening of the evacuation device to provide both a leak-free interface between the evacuation device and the storage bag and to reduce vibration and chatter of the evacuation device against a rigid support surface. A gasket can also be provided intermediately between a main body portion of the evacuation device and a nozzle portion that is to be placed adjacent to the storage bag during use. The intermediate gasket isolates vibrations in the main body portion thereby reducing vibrations and chatter of the evacuation device against a rigid support surface. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20100288202 | Litter Box Liner - Described is a litter box liner having handle ties and a form-fitted bottom. The bottom may be square or rectangular-shaped and may be sized to fit into a particular size litter box. The bottom may include the feature that there are no foldovers contained therewithin. At least a bottom portion of the litter box liner may be reinforced to resist tears. Such a reinforcement layer may include a woven polypropylene fabric layer or an extruded polypropylene film. The litter box liner may be, at least in part, formed of high density polyethylene (HDPE), thereby providing an additional means for tear resistance in the litter box liner. | 11-18-2010 |

| 20080243652 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION - Methods and systems of determining compensation for an hour of work to an employee are disclosed. A base hourly wage is determined based on the number of hours worked by the employee. A premium hourly wage is determined. The premium hourly wage can be determined by substracting the base hourly wage from the earned hourly wage. The earned hourly wage can be calculated based on a number of minutes actually worked within the hour of work and a per-minute rate. | 10-02-2008 |
