| 20100068385 | Sheet goods having a large repeat length and tile with numerous patterns - Sheet goods having extremely long repeat lengths and tiles having a large number of different visual patterns are formed by printing two different print patterns having different repeat lengths. The two different print patterns are printed on two films that are laminated together, or on a substrate, or one print pattern on a substrate and one print pattern on a transparent or translucent film that is laminated to the printed substrate. | 03-18-2010 |
| 20100247834 | Floor Panel and Floating Floor System Incorporating the Same - A floor panel and a floating floor system incorporating the floor panel include a floor panel having a top layer and a bottom layer. The top layer has a top surface and a bottom surface. The top surface has a visible decorative pattern. The bottom layer has a top surface and a bottom surface. The top surface of the bottom layer is adhered to the bottom surface of the top layer such that the bottom layer is offset from the top layer in a direction of length and width and a marginal end portion of the top surface of the bottom layer and a marginal end portion of the bottom surface of the top layer is exposed. At least one of the marginal end portions has an adhesive, and a ratio of a thickness of the top layer to a thickness of the bottom layer is about 5 or greater. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20110041989 | Resilient floor tile and method of making the same - A resilient floor tile includes a base layer, a film layer, a decorative film layer, and a topcoat. The resilient floor tile has a shaped edge formed on an upper surface thereof that extends about at least a portion of a perimeter of the resilient floor tile. In order to make the resilient floor tile, a continuous sheet of a base layer is conveyed into a press die. The press die is actuated from an open position to a closed position. The continuous sheet is cut with a blade of a cutting tool of the press die to form side surfaces of the resilient floor tile when the press die is in the closed position. A shaped edge is formed on at least a portion of a perimeter of an upper surface of the resilient floor tile with a forming tool of the press die when the press die is in the closed position. | 02-24-2011 |
| 20110042003 | Method of making a floor panel - A method of making a floor panel includes the steps of: providing an adhesive on a release member; laminating or marrying the release member to a bottom layer such that the adhesive is between the release member and the bottom layer; removing a portion of the release member to expose an area of the adhesive; and adhering a top layer to the area such that the top layer is offset with respect to the bottom layer in a direction of length and width and a marginal end portion of a top surface of the bottom layer and a marginal end portion of the bottom surface of the top layer is exposed. | 02-24-2011 |
| 20110042252 | Packaging system for a floor panel - A packaging system and a method of packaging a plurality of floor panels in a box includes floor panels having a top layer and a bottom layer. The top layer has a top surface with a visible decorative pattern and a bottom surface adhered to a top surface of the bottom layer such that the bottom layer is offset from the top layer in a direction of length and width and a marginal end portion of the top surface of the bottom layer and a marginal end portion of the bottom surface of the top layer is exposed. At least one of the marginal end portions has an adhesive. The floor panels are stacked in the box in pairs. Each of the pairs is stacked such that the top surfaces of the top layers of each of the pairs of the floor panels are facing each other. | 02-24-2011 |

| 20090077375 | Encapsulation of secure encrypted data in a deployable, secure communication system allowing benign, secure commercial transport - Sensitive, Type 1 KIV-encrypted data is encapsulated into IP packets in a remotely deployed, secure communication system. The IP packets are addressed to a matching IP encapsulator/decapsulator device over the public Internet or other IP protocol network, that then passes it to a similar Type 1 KIV device for decryption. Thus, sensitive, encrypted data is made to appear as if it were any other commercial network data, cloaking it in the vast and busy world of the Internet. The present invention is embodied in a system that provides secure Voice-Over-IP (VoIP), video and data network functionality in a single, small size deployable case, to a remote user. Most importantly, the embodiment allows for the routing of bulk encrypted (i.e., secure) data over a public network, e.g., the Internet. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20090313469 | Deployable secure communication system - A secure Voice-Over-IP (VOIP), video and data network functionality in a single, small size deployable case, for a remote user. While capable of secure communications, the disclosed system also provides communication capability (VOIP, video and/or data) in a non-secure manner if desired. Most importantly, bulk encrypted (i.e., secure) data may be routed over a public network, e.g., the Internet. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20100202615 | Encryption of voice and data in a single data stream in a deployable,secure communication system - Separate IP data streams, including both voice (VoIP) and data sources, are routed over a single network data stream, encrypted by a single KIV encryption unit, and transmitted as a single packet data stream including both computer and voice data. Integration of the use of a VoIP data stream, together with data sources, and encrypted through a single serial encryption unit such as a KIV-7 enables the encryption of both voice and data using a single KIV encryption unit. After encryption by the Type 1 encryption unit (e.g., KIV-7) in a remotely deployed, secure communication system, the single encrypted data stream is encapsulated into IP packets. The IP packets are addressed to a distant IP device that removes the encapsulated, encrypted data and passes it to a similar Type 1 KIV device for decryption, and distributed to voice devices and computer devices via another voice-enabled router. | 08-12-2010 |
