| 20100072936 | Simultaneous zero verification for motors in a printing press - A method for determining accuracy of an actual position of a plurality of independent motors in a printing press is provided. The method includes commanding each of the plurality of motors in the printing press via a controller to move a desired initial position, comparing an actual position of each motor to the desired initial position of each motor, determining if the actual position of each motor is within a predetermined tolerance of the desired initial position, and resetting any motor outside the predetermined tolerance to be within the predetermined tolerance. A printing press is also provided. The printing press includes a plurality of printing press components and a plurality of motors. Each motor drives at least one of the printing press components and each of the motors has a desired initial position. The printing press also includes a position detector for determining an actual position of the motor with respect to the desired initial position of the motor. | 03-25-2010 |

| 20090177552 | Pre-Paid Activation and Replenishment on a Point-of-Sale Device - A system and method for processing prepaid financial transactions. The system and method describe the utilization of one or more remote terminals that are adapted to acquire transaction information from a user and transmit a first signal indicative of the transaction information. The remote terminal is further adapted to receive a second signal indicative of authorizing information that is delivered to the user. In addition, an authorizing host is adapted to receive the first signal transmitted by the one or more remote terminals. In one aspect, the authorizing host routes the first signal including the transaction information to an exchange host for approval of the financial transaction, and the exchange host transmits the second signal including the authorizing information to the remote terminal via the authorizing host. | 07-09-2009 |

| 20080229710 | Packaging assistance system - A system grid-like guidance device for packing goods in a case for shipping purposes is mounted to the open-topped case, providing cells to guide the emptied ‘return’ containers to the case floor. The case being filled, the device is removed, and the case can be inventoried and shipped. The several embodiments are fully or partially inserted into the case, forming a set of guidance cells to receive empty containers, such as bottles. One embodiment has a series of thin guidance elements extending within the box between the inserted containers. A third embodiment, has the grid of guidance members extending upwardly above the box top, to facilitate filling. Handle means are provided. | 09-25-2008 |

| 20110251811 | METHOD TO DETERMINE A QUALITY ACCEPTANCE CRITERION USING FORCE SIGNATURES - A method is provided to determine a quality acceptance criterion using force signatures measured on a first and a second set of elements. The first set has no quality defect and the second set has a deliberate quality defect. Selection of an initial subset of time points is based on statistical analysis of the force data on the force signatures in the two sets. The quality acceptance criterion includes a quality threshold established using Mahalanobis Distance (MD) values and the MD values are produced from force data at a selected initial subset of time points for each element in the two sets. An output of the determined quality acceptance criterion is using the defined quality threshold to separate an element having a force signature into a group of elements having no quality defect or into a group of elements having a quality defect like the deliberate quality defect. | 10-13-2011 |
