| 20110039063 | APERTURED NONWOVEN FABRIC AND PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING SAME - Disclosed is a process for continuous perforation of fabrics that comprise thermoplastic fibers. The process utilizes a combination of heat and pressure to perforate fabrics where the shape. size, and distribution of the individual fabric perforations is define solely by the design of the pattern embossing roll, In particular, the top side of the individual embossing points are not flat but rather have a raised peripheral edge so that the actual fabric contact area of the bond points is much less than total area circumscribed by each bond point. The small ratio of fabric contact area to total bond area concentrates the thermal and compressive forces in the embossing nip and allows a large perforation to be cut out of a fabric moving at high speed through the perforation nip. | 02-17-2011 |

| 20100151979 | SWITCHABLE DRIVE PULLEY WITH ELECTRICALLY ACTUATED FRICTION DISC TORQUE TRANSFER MECHANISM - A switchable drive pulley system that allows driving engagement or disengagement of a pulley from the shaft of an accessory drive is provided. The pulley is mounted to the shaft by a bearing having an inner ring that rotates with the shaft and an outer ring that rotates with the pulley. A friction disk is arranged adjacent to the bearing inner ring and outer ring. When axial pressure is applied to the friction disk, relative motion between the inner and outer bearing rings is stopped, allowing the transfer of torque from the pulley to the shaft in order to drive the accessory drive, with the pulley and shaft rotating at the same speed. When pressure is removed from the friction disk, the pulley and the outer bearing ring can spin independently of the inner ring and shaft. The shaft can therefore remain stationery while the pulley continues to turn driven by the accessory belt drive. | 06-17-2010 |

| 20110214660 | SYSTEM FOR MONITORING A COOLING FAN OF AN APPLIANCE - A system for monitoring a cooling fan having one or more fans blade and utilized in an appliance having a heating element. Such a system generally includes an electric switch actuated by a magnetic field of a magnet mounted on a rotary member of the cooling fan. The electric switch can be located proximate to the magnet, such that the magnet rotates past the electric switch to actuate the electric switch via the magnetic field at a switching frequency with each rotation of the rotary member. Such a system can include a circuit responsive to an electrical signal from the electric switch. The circuit can generates a signal indicative of the status of the cooling fan, based on the switching frequency of the electric switch. Such a signal can prevent overheating of the heating elements in case of a failure of the cooling fan. | 09-08-2011 |
