| 20110039063 | APERTURED NONWOVEN FABRIC AND PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING SAME - Disclosed is a process for continuous perforation of fabrics that comprise thermoplastic fibers. The process utilizes a combination of heat and pressure to perforate fabrics where the shape. size, and distribution of the individual fabric perforations is define solely by the design of the pattern embossing roll, In particular, the top side of the individual embossing points are not flat but rather have a raised peripheral edge so that the actual fabric contact area of the bond points is much less than total area circumscribed by each bond point. The small ratio of fabric contact area to total bond area concentrates the thermal and compressive forces in the embossing nip and allows a large perforation to be cut out of a fabric moving at high speed through the perforation nip. | 02-17-2011 |

The device can be integrally molded from one or more materials chosen from a group consisting of silicone, polyurethane, neoprene, or the like. A method of using the device also is described. | 04-23-2009 |

| 20090099856 | Method for Providing Enhanced Valuation Protection for Shipping of Household Goods by a Motor Carrier - A method for enhancing the valuation protection available to a shipper for a shipment of household goods whereby the carrier offers for financial consideration to waive one or more common law defenses and/or one or more interpretation limit defenses otherwise available to it to mitigate its liability to a shipper for a claim for damaged/lost goods, and an agreement by the carrier to increase its maximum liability by providing the shipper an additional dollar amount, preferably $25,000, of Full Value Protection coverage in addition to the minimums required by the carrier's tariffs, or in addition to the shipper's Full Value Protection valuation declaration. The financial consideration to be paid by a shipper is at least partially determined by the nature and number of defenses offered to be waived. As one or more common law or interpretation limit defenses may exhibit geographical significance, the offerings may include differential pricing for one or more such common law defenses to be waived. Preferably, and for maximum shifting of the risk of loss/damage from the shipper to the carrier, the enhanced valuation protection includes offering a waiver of all common law defenses. | 04-16-2009 |
