| 20110110768 | VARIABLE GEOMETRY TURBOCHARGER WITH GUIDE PINS - A variable geometry turbocharger assembly comprises a unison ring which rotates about a longitudinal axis defined by a shaft on which a turbine wheel and compressor wheel are attached in order to pivot a plurality of vanes and thereby control a flow of exhaust gas to the turbine wheel. The unison ring rotates on at least one guide pin which is secured to the turbocharger. The guide pins may be press-fit into apertures in a center housing at an outer pilot surface. In other embodiments the guide pins may be press-fit into a different part of the turbocharger such as a nozzle ring. The guide pins may each have a wear surface which defines a circumferential radius of curvature which is substantially equal to a circumferential radius of curvature of a radially inner surface of the unison ring. | 05-12-2011 |

| 20110205326 | LINERLESS LABELS - Linerless labels are presented. A label includes a specific pattern or set of patterns of adhesive applied to one side of the label. The adhesive pattern(s) reduces contact between a cutter blade of a printer and the adhesive on the one side of the label. Moreover, the adhesive patterns reduce buildup of adhesive on the cutter blade and reduce buildup at specific locations on the cutter blade. That is, the adhesive patterns more evenly distribute adhesive buildup across the cutter blade. Consequently, the cutter blade can be used for a longer period of time before the cutter blade needs to be cleaned of the adhesive. | 08-25-2011 |

| 20090022816 | Storable, consumable pre-nascent iodine - This discovery is storable, pre-nascent iodine that activates and: produces nascent iodine over a two-to-three-hour period within the body when diluted in water and consumed. The iodine is in a low concentration in a tincture of grain alcohol. A quantity of tincture is submerged in a glass container in an electrolytic bath between two electrodes and subjected to a specific amperage for a period of time. This action causes the diatomic bond of the iodine molecule to be broken with the iodine atom receiving excitation energy from the magnetic field. When diluted and consumed into the body, the nascent iodine is able to produce significant beneficial effects in the body. | 01-22-2009 |
