20100046875Ball Bearing cage02-25-2010
20100142874HOUSING FOR BALL BEARING06-10-2010
20100195946COATED BEARING - The invention concerns a bearing assembly comprising an inner ring, an outer ring and rolling elements, the inner ring and outer ring being rotatably coupled by means of the rolling elements. The rolling elements are disposed on opposing raceways within a bearing cavity and are retained in a cage. The bearing is provided with a lubricant and further comprises at least one sealing element, mounted in an annular gap between the inner and outer ring. To prevent the lubricant adhering to predetermined surfaces within the bearing cavity which do not require lubrication, at least one of these predetermined surfaces is provided with an oleophobic coating. One advantage of the invention is that the lubricant ages less quickly, leading to improved bearing service life.08-05-2010

20080240810Image Forming Apparatus Component With Triboelectric Properties - The present disclosure relates to an image forming device component that includes an elastomeric material having a surface and a triboelectric charging material that may be exposed on the elastomeric material surface. The triboelectric material may be exposed by a finishing process that results in removal of a portion of the material leaving voids in the surface. The surface may have a surface roughness in the range of about 0.1 to 5.0 Ra. The component may include a developer roller in an electrophotograhic printer and may provide contact electrification to a given toner during a printing operation.10-02-2008
20100154978Toner Adder Brush Roller and Method for Controlled Installation of Brush Filament Population - A method for controlled installation of a brush filament population on a shaft for making a toner adder brush roller includes applying a layer of adhesive over a surface of a roller shaft, applying a template over at least a portion of the shaft surface, and flocking a multiplicity of filaments on the shaft surface to provide a brush on the roller shaft having a filament population controlled by the application of the template. The method also includes removing the template from the shaft surface after flocking the multiplicity of filaments such that a set of filaments less than the multiplicity of filaments is removed with the template. The method further includes flocking additional filaments on the portion of the shaft surface after removing the template from the portion of the shaft surface, the additional filaments differs from said previously flocked filaments in one of material, length, denier, or combinations of the foregoing.06-24-2010

20100112867Electrical Connector And Manufacturing Method Thereof - A method for manufacturing an electrical contact module is provided. First, a lead-frame of electrical conductors is formed, wherein at least one supporting strip is formed in the lead-frame of electrical conductors in such a way as to maintain the electrical conductors in a predetermined position with respect to each other. Then, the lead-frame of electrical conductors is over-molded with a first dielectric material, thereby obtaining a first over-molded lead-frame. At least one aperture is formed in the first over-molded lead-frame so that the at least one supporting strip is accessible. The at least one supporting strip in the first over-molded lead-frame is removed after completion of the over-molding step. A second dielectric material is then over-molded with the first over-molded lead-frame in such manner as to fill the at least one aperture and a space left between the electrical conductors after removal of the at least one supporting strip.05-06-2010

20080196623Multiple Component Multiple Layer Coating Composition and Method of Application - A multiple layer coating composition comprising at least one first layer comprising a first layer resin and an aggregate and at least one color layer comprising a color layer resin and a color layer pigment. Additional color layers and or a top layer comprising a top layer resin may be added. The components of each layer are blended together with a polymerization initiator prior to application to a base and each cured to form a coating. The present invention is also directed to a method of producing a coating on a base and to the resulting coated base.08-21-2008

20090058177Hubcap Device - A hubcap device for use with a wheel includes a base and a fastener for coupling the base to the wheel. The hubcap device includes a spinner member between the base and the cover, the spinner member having a light element. The hubcap device includes a battery for powering the light element and a processor for actuating the light element. An insert is removably coupled to the cover, the spinner member being positioned between the insert and the base. The hubcap device may include a photocell in communication with the processor, the processor including programming to actuate the light element in predetermined light conditions. The device includes an optical sensor coupled to the spinner member to measure a rotational speed of the spinner member relative to a rotational speed of the base, the optical sensor providing a relative rotational speed measurement to said processor.03-05-2009

20120073482Centrally Controlled Safe Management System - A cash management system utilizes a cloud computing model wherein a cloud of one or more servers may be locally networked or may be geographically dispersed and accessed by the client device over the Internet. The client device is a cash management safe. More than one safe may be employed in a system. Metrics, control functions, and interactions normally handled by an autonomous safe are shunted directly to a cloud server on the network. Usage data, currency validations, coin validations, security entries, etc. are communicated to the cloud server. The cloud server(s), based on database information and software settings, can transmit configuration, updates and information to remote safes. The information transmitted may include user configuration, access rules, currency configuration, alert configuration, and software and firmware updates. The cloud server based cash management system allows the entire cash management of an enterprise to be provided as a service to that enterprise.03-29-2012
