| 20080201898 | SELF-CLEANING FILTER ARRANGEMENT WITH ACTIVATION SIGNAL FOR FLOOR CARE APPARATUS - A floor care apparatus has a filter with an intake and out take. A first pressure sensor is arranged on the intake while a second pressure sensor is arranged on the out take. A controller connects to the sensors to receive signals indicative of relative pressure. Whenever a predetermined pressure differential between the signals is achieved, an undesirable load on the filter is deemed occurred and initiation of a self-cleaning of the filter begins. In this manner, filter cleaning only occurs on an as-needed basis and user intervention is avoided, thereby adding convenience. The controller is also able to ascertain a clogged airway condition. Various features contemplate pressure sensor signals arranged to scale suction as positive pressures, meeting the predetermined pressure differential at other than a maximum pressure differential between the first and second pressure sensors, and scaling the predetermined pressure differential relative to the maximum pressure differential. | 08-28-2008 |

| 20100122925 | SYRINGE DISPOSAL UNIT - This invention presents a syringe disposal unit for disposal of used disposable syringe needle assemblies of a reusable syringe. The syringe disposal includes a container having an interior for receiving a needle assembly of a reusable syringe. The needle assembly is removable from a syringe body of the reusable syringe. The container also has a through-hole through which the needle assembly can enter the interior. The syringe disposal also includes a needle base latch movable between an engaging position and a disengaging position. When the needle assembly is positioned in the through-hole the needle base latch contacts the needle assembly in the engaging position in such a way that the needle base latch prevents the needle assembly from rotating relative to the container, while the needle base latch does not contact the needle assembly in the disengaging position in such a manner that the needle base latch does not prevent the needle base from rotating relative to the container. | 05-20-2010 |

| 20080249568 | Crossbar Spinal Prosthesis Having a Modular Design and Systems for Treating Spinal Pathologies - An adaptable spinal facet joint prosthesis, including a pedicle fixation element; a laminar fixation element; and a facet joint bearing surface having a location adaptable with respect at least one of the pedicle fixation element and the laminar fixation element. The invention also includes a method of implanting an adaptable spinal facet joint prosthesis including the steps of determining a desired position for a facet joint bearing surface; and attaching a prosthesis comprising a facet joint bearing surface to a pedicle portion of a vertebra and a lamina portion of a vertebra to place the facet joint bearing surface in the desired position. The invention also provides a facet joint prosthesis implant tool including a tool guide adapted to guide a vertebra cutting tool; and first and second fixation hole alignment elements extending from the saw guide. The invention also provides systems for treating spinal pathologies that include intervertebral discs in combination with spinal and facet joint prostheses. | 10-09-2008 |

| 20100068961 | Method for producing fiberglass materials and compositions resulting from the same - A method for reducing the amount of binder or resin used in glass fiber manufacturing while maintaining product performance is disclosed. The method generally reduces the amount of binder or resin used in a manufacturing process by adjusting other factors in the manufacturing process. Specifically, ramp moisture and/or silane content are factors that are adjusted to achieve the results of the disclosed method. Additionally, glass fiber compositions resulting from the method are disclosed. | 03-18-2010 |

| 20080236722 | Fibrous product and method and apparatus for making the product - A nonwoven fibrous insulation product has at least a bi-modal fiber diameter distribution designed to provide the product with selected thermal insulating and physical performance properties that are affected by fiber diameter such as rigidity and recovery properties. The product is made by: forming two or more fiber groupings that each have a selected fiber diameter distribution with a selected mean fiber diameter wherein the selected fiber diameter distributions of the fiber groupings differ from each other. The fibers of the fiber groupings are intermingled and entangled together in selected percentages by weight to form a product with a selected density and thickness that exhibits selected product performance properties based on the properties of the fiber groupings and the relative percentages by weight of the fiber groupings. | 10-02-2008 |

| 20090007644 | Control of pre-cured product moisture for formaldehyde-free fiberglass products - A system for controlling the residual moisture in pre-cured binder coated glass fibers. The moisture of the binder coated glass fibers is measured after the process water is extracted in a collection box. Based on the level of moisture found in the coated glass fibers, adjustments are made to the process upstream of the moisture measurements. The adjustments include, but are not limited to, adjusting the amount of water used to make the binder composition; adjusting the amount of heat applied to the binder composition as it is applied to the glass fibers and adjusting the vacuum conditions used to extract the process water from the binder coated glass fibers. Control of the residual moisture in the precured binder coated glass fibers helps ensure proper curing of the binder during the subsequent curing step. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20100068103 | Control of pH in formaldehyde-free binder systems - A system for controlling the pH of a formaldehyde-free aqueous binder composition used in the manufacture of glass fiber products. Following the formation of an aqueous binder composition, acid is added to the composition to reduce the pH to less than about 3.4. After the acid is combined with the aqueous binder composition, the pH of the composition is measured and then compared within a pre-set set point. The rate of acid addition is then adjusted thereby adjusting the pH of the composition such that the measured pH equals the set point pH. The pH measurement is preferably done before the addition of other additives to avoid interference by those additives. | 03-18-2010 |

| 20090324395 | Method of repairing knife edge seals - A method of repairing a gas turbine knife edge seal assembly in which assembly is included a used honeycomb ring seal and a knife edge. The method includes removing the used honeycomb ring seal, removing material from the knife edge to a first knife edge radial height, installing a replacement honeycomb ring seal with a stock radial thickness, and removing material from the replacement honeycomb ring seal to a finished radial thickness for sealable engagement with the knife edge. The finished radial thickness of the replacement honeycomb ring seal establishes a first radial gap between an inner annular surface of the replacement honeycomb ring seal and the knife edge before the knife edge seal assembly begins rotating in the gas turbine. | 12-31-2009 |
