20090200137VERTICALLY STAGGERED PALLET STACKING ASSEMBLY LINE AND METHOD - A pallet stacking assembly line having at least two pick-and-place robots are used. The first robot has a relatively low position. The second robot is in an elevated position. A pallet dispenser dispenses a first pallet onto a pallet conveyor The pallet conveyor moves the first pallet to a first build position in front of the first robot. The first robot picks products from a first pick position and stacks them on the first pallet. Once the stack of products on the first pallet reach approximately half the finished stack height, the pallet conveyor carries the first pallet to a second build position in front of the second robot. At the same time, the pallet dispenser dispenses a second pallet which is carried to the first build position. The second robot picks products from a second pick position and places them on the upper portion of the stack on the first pallet to complete the stack. Meanwhile, the first robot is picking and placing products on the lower portion of the second pallet. The process continues indexing, with both robots ideally being busy all the time. Each robot builds half the stack on the pallet,08-13-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110079314PIPE JACKET - A pipe jacket is disclosed for use with pipes such as hydrocarbon based liquid and gaseous high pressure oil pipelines. The pipe jacket exhibits ballistic self-sealing properties through the use of ballistic fabric surrounding a self-sealing core. The self-sealing core makes use of compressible polymers, which close back on themselves when a foreign object such as a bullet passes through to prevent most leakage, and a self-sealing fluid to fill in whatever space remains. The compressible polymers are kept under a pressure greater than the internal pipeline normal maximum operating pressure by a fastening system which securely fastens one end of the pipe jacket to the other after the pipe jacket is placed around the outside of the pipe. The pipe jacket may also optionally provide additional protection from blasts, electric drill sabotage, corrosion, and thermal variation.04-07-2011

20080250566PILLOW WITH CENTRAL SPACED INTERNAL BAFFLES - The pillow includes first and second fabric sections which are secured around the peripheries thereof to form an interior volume. First and second baffle members are positioned within the interior volume, attached to the first and second fabric sections. The first and second baffle members extend in the longitudinal direction of the pillow about the center thereof and are spaced approximately equidistant laterally from the center line of the pillow. The baffle members either parallel each other or curve away from each other from the midpoints to the free ends thereof. Baffle members are configured and positioned such that there is substantial space between the baffle members, respectively, and the peripheral edge of the pillow.10-16-2008
20090106904CONVEX PILLOW CONFIGURATION - The pillow includes at least two substantially identical pillow shell layers secured to each other around the peripheries thereof. Each layer has corner configurations defined by approximately straight, inwardly directed tapered end portions of adjacent edges, which meet at corner points, wherein the angle between the meeting end portions of adjacent edges is in the range of 120°-140°.04-30-2009
20110179576BAFFLE BOX PILLOW - The pillow includes first and second fabric layers and third and fourth fabric layers, all of which are identical and secured together around the peripheries thereof. Positioned between the first and second fabric layers is a baffle structure which includes first and second lateral baffles extending across the width of the pillow and positioned at approximately one-third and two-thirds of the longitudinal distance (dimension) of the pillow. The baffle structure includes two central baffles, two first end baffles and two second end baffles, arranged to define baffle boxes of approximately equal size. The two central baffles extend longitudinally from one lateral baffle, leaving a space between the free ends thereof and the other lateral baffle to permit filling of the pillow. The first end baffles extend from the one lateral baffle a selected distance, leaving a space between the first end baffles and one lateral edge of the pillow to permit filling of the pillow. The second end baffles extend from the opposing lateral edge of the pillow toward the other lateral baffle, leaving a space between the second end baffles and the other lateral baffle to permit filling of the pillow.07-28-2011
20120036642PILLOW WITH AIR BLADDER INSERT - The pillow includes a pillow tick which includes first and second substantially identical fabric members. A chamber extends along the length of the pillow at one longitudinal edge thereof. An air bladder member with crushable foam or polyester pellets is positioned within the chamber. A valve extends from the air bladder member to provide adjustable neck support. Pressure is exerted on the foam with the valve open. When the desired firmness is achieved, the valve is closed. Two baffle members are positioned in the tick volume between the other longitudinal edge of the tick and the chamber. The tick volume contains natural or synthetic fill. The baffles angle toward each other to provide good support and comfort and to reduce movement of the fill.02-16-2012

20090113194Persisting value relevant to debugging of computer system during reset of computer system - The last value of an element of a computing system is continually stored within a first register. The element is cleared during any restart or reset of the computing system. The last value is relevant to debugging of the computing system when the computing system fails to perform as expected and/or as desired. Upon receiving an instruction to reset the computing system via a first reset signal corresponding to pressing of a reset button or a second reset signal corresponding to a baseboard management controller issuing a reset command, the last value of the element as stored within the first register is copied to a second register. The computing system is then reset. The last value of the element as stored within the second register persists within the second register during this type of reset, but is cleared during any other reset or restart of the computing system.04-30-2009
20090328022SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MAINTAINING CRTM CODE - Systems, methods and media for updating CRTM code in a computing machine are disclosed. In one embodiment, the CRTM code initially resides in ROM and updated CRTM is stored in a staging area of the ROM. A logical partition of L2 cache may be created to store a heap and a stack and a data store. The data store holds updated CRTM code copied to the L2 cache. When a computing system is started, it first executes CRTM code. The CRTM code checks the staging area of the ROM to determine if there is updated CRTM code. If so, then CRTM code is copied into the L2 cache to be executed from there. The CRTM code loads the updated code into the cache and verifies its signature. The CRTM code then copies the updated code into the cache where the current CRTM code is located.12-31-2009
