| 20090130475 | Wood treatment solution and process - The present invention features a single aqueous solution that imparts acceptable levels of water resistance, fire resistance, mold resistance and pest resistance to wood, and which may be used in standard wood treatment techniques commonly utilized in the wood treatment industry. In one preferred embodiment, the aqueous solution comprises a fire retardant, preferably sodium metasilicate nonahydrate (about 5% to 30% by mass), an insect and termite repellant, preferably sodium tetraborate decahydrate, also known as borax, (about 1.5% to 9% by mass), a mold inhibitor, preferably thymol (about 0.01% to 0.1% by mass) or ethanolamine (about 0.5% to 20% by mass), and a pH buffer, preferably sodium carbonate (about 1% to 10% by mass). It is believed that the borate/silicate components polymerize upon drying, and become water insoluble, which in turn prevents leaching and provides water repellent characteristics to the wood after treatment. It has been observed that the sodium carbonate may also act as a mold inhibitor, so that the ethanolamine and thymol may be optional ingredients in the solution. The calcium carbonate, in addition to serving as a buffer and imparting some mold and mildew inhibiting properties, is thought to also serve as a catalyst that maintains the water solubility before and during the immersion (impregnation) step, and helps to polymerize the silicate/borate compounds during the drying step. The aqueous solution should have a pH in the range of 9.5 and 13. Additionally, a powder mixture of the above-recited components may be prepared, and may be added to an appropriate amount of water to form the aqueous solution. | 05-21-2009 |

| 20100162467 | Tuckit Skinny Capri - Tuckit Skinny Capri is a pant that makes the method of tucking in your jean or pant into boots easier, faster and more convenient. The pant is made to fit snugly to the leg and has a new technology of integrated garter or hose grips which allow the pant to have dual usage. These garter style clips (one on each side of the pant leg, each lying flatly against the leg) are located below the hem of each leg and allow for quick attachment to socks for boot wear. The garter clips are permanently attached to each side of the pant leg by an elastic band that is sown on the hem. The wearer simply puts on the “tuckit skinny capri” and a pair of socks, attaches the pant/capri to the socks through the use of the integrated clips, flips down the hem to cover the clips, and simply slips the boot on. This avoids having to spend a considerable amount of time tucking the jean/pant into the boots and a bunched up look at the top of the boot area. It also avoids the jean/pant slowly sliding up as the person walks. Tuckit capris will allow for a smooth tucked in look for anyone who wants to wear their jeans or pants inside their boots during winter or fall. The duality of the skinny capri also plays an important role, as the person can wear it with regular shoes on a summer day. | 07-01-2010 |

| 20120006215 | BELT TRACKING USING TWO EDGE SENSORS - Methods and devices detect a first lateral measure of an edge of a belt loop supported by rollers within an apparatus using a first sensor to find an amount of misalignment of the edge of the belt loop relative to a known alignment position. The first sensor is positioned at a first location within the apparatus. The methods and devices also detect a second lateral measure of the edge of the belt loop within the apparatus relative to the known alignment position using a second sensor. The second sensor is positioned at a second location within the apparatus that is different than the first location. The methods and devices use a processor to determine the non-linear shape of the edge of the belt loop based on the second lateral measure of the edge of the belt loop detected by the second sensor. The methods and devices correct the amount of misalignment detected by the first sensor based on the non-linear shape of the edge of the belt loop to generate a corrected misalignment value, using the processor. Further, the method and devices adjust the current lateral position of the belt loop within the apparatus relative to the known alignment position based on the corrected misalignment value using a belt tracking actuator that is operatively connected to the processor. | 01-12-2012 |

| 20090230604 | REMOVABLE PORTION FORMAT - A system for producing removable portions for mass-distributable packets by single-pass manufacturing, in which a printed web is slit into two ribbons, one of which is then folded upon itself to create a multi-ply ribbon that appears to be of heavier stock than the original paper. Alternatively, the multi-ply ribbon can be created by gluing together multiple ribbons, or by a combination of folding ribbons and gluing together ribbons. The multi-ply ribbon is die cut into an inside portion and an outside portion and married to the other ribbon, after which the outside portion is removed, leaving the inner portion as removable portions. Alternatively, the folded ribbon can be kiss cut after it has been married to the other ribbon. The removable portions can be UV-coated to simulate plastic and printed with information personalized for the advertiser or for the recipient. | 09-17-2009 |
