20120273529 | CONTAINER WITH TUBE DRAWING DESIRED FLUID CONCENTRATIONS FOR MICRO-FLUID APPLICATIONS - A consumable supply item for an imaging device holds an initial or refillable volume of pigmented ink. Its housing defines an interior and a fluid exit port. Users orient the housing to deplete the ink in a downward direction. A float on a surface of the ink suspends an inlet opening of a fluid conduit tube underneath the surface. A height of the opening falls downward as the fluid depletes and the float drops. The tube draws a desired concentration of ink and supplies it to the exit port. The concentration is predetermined relative to an overall height of the fluid. The tube height remains proportional to the height of the fluid, increases/decreases proportionally, or other. The design overcomes settling. The design also avoids mechanical stirring and other complex sediment mixing techniques. Embodiments include float/tube arrangements and testing observations, to name a few. | 11-01-2012 |

20150160328 | TRACKING SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Techniques tracking, monitoring, updating, and displaying location and related information based on telemetry information received from mobile devices carried in the field. Each tracked entity (e.g., person, robot) carries or is associated with a mobile device. When a mobile device enters within range of a checkpoint associated with a known position, the mobile device notifies a central server or other system (e.g., a peer device), which then makes the received information (or information derived therefrom) available to other devices and/or systems. In some cases, the checkpoint devices are wireless network access points, such as Wi-Fi routers, access points, media device, or the like. | 06-11-2015 |

20100117261 | Method of making a plastic bench top - The method of making a plastic bench top is a method for manufacturing bench tops having a U-shaped channel formed by flanges depending from opposite sides of an elongated planar member. The bench top is mounted on pedestals, legs or the like. In general, the method includes forming a fold line by machining or by heating along the lateral edges of the elongated planar member to define flanges, folding the flanges so that the flanges are orthogonal to the planar member, and welding or fusing the joint, if necessary. Alternatively, discrete flange members may be heated simultaneously with the elongated lateral edges of the planar member, the heating element is withdrawn from between the flange and the planar member, and the flange is butted against the longitudinal edge to form a butt weld. | 05-13-2010 |
