| 20100225297 | Energy Savings When Powering a Lower Voltage Device from a Higher Voltage Power Source - The present invention provides a power saving method and apparatus for powering a lower voltage device from a higher voltage power source. The apparatus includes a switch having an input coupled to an output of the higher voltage power source. The apparatus further includes a high-to-low voltage converter having an input coupled to an output of the switch. The apparatus also includes a power plug having an input coupled to an output of the high-to-low voltage power converter, and an output configured to receive a power socket of the low voltage device. Finally, the apparatus includes a switch actuator coupled to the power plug and the switch. When the power plug is operatively engaged within the power socket of the lower voltage device, the switch actuator closes the switch. When the power plug is operatively disengaged from the power plug, the switch actuator opens the switch. | 09-09-2010 |

| 20080216095 | Graphics for End to End Component Mapping and Problem-Solving in a Network Environment - An example of a solution provided here comprises receiving as input at least one event (chosen from an event generated by an application probe, and an event generated by a component probe), and providing graphical output based on said inputs, whereby a user correlates a component problem with a performance problem affecting an application. Methods connected with graphics for end to end component mapping and problem-solving in a network environment, systems for executing such methods, and instructions on a computer-usable medium, for executing such methods, are provided. | 09-04-2008 |

| 20080216939 | VERTICAL FEED SYSTEM FOR NON-SEAMED SHRINK LABELS - A container labeling system includes a vertical feed system. The vertical feed system includes a continuous roll of non-seamed shrink film material, where the non-seamed shrink film material shrinks in a cross-machine direction. A severing device is used to sever the non-seamed shrink film material into discrete lengths of non-seamed shrink material. A vertical feed mechanism transfers the discrete lengths of non-seamed shrink material toward a transport mechanism. A labeling apparatus receives the discrete lengths of non-seamed shrink material from the transport mechanism. The labeling apparatus is configured to form a tube from the discrete length of non-seamed shrink material and to apply the tube to a container for a shrinking operation. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20080283612 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING PRODUCT COUNTERFEITING AND DIVERSION - A method for use in determining product counterfeiting and diversion is provided. The method includes locating an overlay on a label associated with a product. The overlay delineates areas of the label, each area having an identifier associated therewith. Presence of a taggant is detected within one or more of the areas using a reader. The taggant is hidden from sight and provides an indication of its presence that is detectable by the reader. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20090188613 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR APPLYING PRESSURE SENSITIVE ADHESIVE LABELS TO CONTAINERS - A labeling apparatus for continuously labeling containers with printed labels from a continuous roll of backing material includes a continuous release liner web of backing material in roll form. The continuous release liner web of backing material has a plurality of labels adhered thereon at spaced-apart label regions using a pressure sensitive adhesive. The continuous release liner web of backing material is configured to allow the labels to be removed therefrom without damaging the labels. A feeding mechanism is configured to continuously dispense the continuous release liner web of backing material with the labels adhered thereon. A peel plate includes a peeling edge over which the continuous release liner web of backing material is drawn by the feeding mechanism. The edge of the peel plate has a shape that promotes a leading edge of the labels to loosen from the continuous release liner web of backing material as the corresponding label region is drawn over the peeling edge. A vacuum roller includes channels extending inwardly from a periphery of the vacuum roller. The channels are in communication with a vacuum source. The vacuum roller is arranged and configured (i) to engage a label at its leading edge prior to a leading edge of the label being loosened from the continuous release liner web of backing material by being drawn over the peeling edge of the peel plate and (ii) to capture the label and direct the label from the continuous release liner web of backing material to a periphery of a container as the vacuum roller rotates by overcoming the bond between the pressure sensitive adhesive and the continuous release liner web of backing material through use of a negative pressure applied to the label through at least some of the channels in communication with the vacuum source. | 07-30-2009 |
