| 20080289936 | ROLLER-BELT CONVEYOR FOR MOVING ARTICLES ACROSS THE CONVEYOR - A conveyor using a roller belt with rollers arranged to rotate on oblique axes to urge articles toward a side guide. The conveyor includes an oblique-roller belt supported on a carryway for running in a direction of belt travel. Rollers extend above an outer conveying surface of the belt without contact with the carryway. Each roller rotates on an axis oblique to the direction of belt travel and intersects the side guide downstream of the roller's position. A retractable stop is movable to and from a blocking position along the carryway. In the blocking position, the stop blocks the conveyed articles from advancing in the direction of belt travel. The rollers underlying the blocked articles rotate as the belt runs by contact with the articles. The rotating rollers provide a component of force to the blocked articles directed toward the side guide to push the articles against the side guide or other articles as they accumulate under low pressure upstream of the stop. The conveyor may be used to register articles single file against the side guide or to group the articles for palletizing. For palletizing applications, an infeed conveyor feeds articles onto the belt at the side opposite the side guide. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20080302634 | Conveyor Switch - A sorting switch for diverting articles from one or more infeed conveyors to two or more outfeed conveyors. A pre-alignment conveyor receives articles from one or more infeed conveyors and selectively diverts individual articles into two or more lateral regions for delivery to an alignment conveyor downstream. The alignment conveyor more precisely aligns the articles within each of the regions for delivery to outfeed conveyors at the downstream end of the alignment conveyor. The alignment and pre-alignment conveyors are realized as belt conveyors with rollers arranged to rotate universally or on axes in specific orientations. In some versions, a belt's rollers roll on bearing surfaces whenever the belt is advancing. In other versions, rollers are selective actuated by moving bearing surfaces. In yet other versions, rollers are not contacted by bearing surfaces at all. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20100059334 | ROLLER-BELT CONVEYOR FOR MOVING ARTICLES ACROSS THE CONVEYOR - A conveyor using a roller belt with rollers arranged to rotate on oblique axes to urge articles toward a side guide.

Rollers extend above an outer conveying surface of the belt without contact with the carryway. Each roller rotates on an axis oblique to the direction of belt travel and intersects the side guide downstream of the roller's position. A retractable stop is movable to and from a blocking position along the carryway. In the blocking position, the stop blocks the conveyed articles from advancing in the direction of belt travel. The rollers underlying the blocked articles rotate as the belt runs by contact with the articles. The rotating rollers provide a component of force to the blocked articles directed toward the side guide to push the articles against the side guide or other articles as they accumulate under low pressure upstream of the stop. The conveyor may be used to register articles single file against the side guide or to group the articles for palletizing. For palletizing applications, an infeed conveyor feeds articles onto the belt at the side opposite the side guide. | 03-11-2010 |
| 20100200365 | CONVEYOR AND METHOD FOR SPACING PACKAGES - A spacing conveyor having article-accelerating rollers and selectively retractable stops to control the gaps between consecutive conveyed packages. A sensor measures the length of a package being fed onto the spacing conveyor. A controller selectively actuates one or more actuators positioned along the length of the conveyor to move selected stops advancing with the conveyor from a retracted position to a blocking position to receive packages a variety of sizes and to control the gaps between consecutive packages. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20100219048 | BELT CONVEYORS WITH RETRACTABLE WALL SEGMENTS - A conveyor having a conveyor belt with wall segments that pivot between a retracted position below the conveying surface of the belt and an extended position above the conveying surface. When extended, the wall segments form a wall along the length of a portion of the belt to prevent conveyed articles from moving laterally past. The retractable wall segments are cam- or spring-actuated. Diverting conveyors using the retractable wall segments in an oblique-roller conveyor belt are useful as sorters or switches. | 09-02-2010 |
| 20110108396 | CONVEYOR WITH A GENTLE RETRACTABLE STOP - A conveyor having a retractable stop providing a nonsliding contact surface to the leading faces of conveyed articles to prevent damage to the faces of the articles. One version of such a stop has a contact surface defined by the peripheries of rollers that rotate on the accumulated articles as the stop moves from a blocking position accumulating articles on the conveyor to a retracted position releasing accumulated articles to advance downstream along the conveyor. | 05-12-2011 |

| 20110082306 | BIRCH REDUCTION OF STEROID SUBSTRATES VIA ALKALI METAL - SILICA GEL MATERIALS - Steroids are well known, medicinal relevant, chemical entities. There are numerous steroids which have fully or partially reduced ‘A’ rings. These fully or partially reduced ‘A’ rings have been reduced in the past through Birch and other dissolving metal reductions. Novel reducing conditions for steroid substrates are described which utilizes stabilized alkali metal-silica gel materials. The invention relates to a method for reducing a double bond within a steroid by contacting an unsaturated steroid having a phenyl ring with a Stage 0 or Stage I alkali metal-silica gel material in the presence of a proton source under reaction conditions sufficient to form a reduced steroid having a diene structure. | 04-07-2011 |

| 20120132160 | ADHESIVE JOINING FOR POWDER METAL COMPONENTS - A method of joining multiple powder metal components to form a powder metal component assembly using an adhesive is disclosed. By machining at least one of the powder metal components prior to the adhesive joining, otherwise difficult to machine features can be more easily machined for less cost and at higher production rates. Unlike high temperature joining techniques, the adhesive joins the powder metal components at room temperature. This room temperature adhesive joining eliminates the thermal distortions in pre-joined machined features common to high temperature joining techniques such as brazing or welding that bring these features out of specification during joining. | 05-31-2012 |
