| 20080314327 | Animal feeder - An animal feeder includes a feed reservoir having a cavity for holding a feed material, and a feed dispensing assembly coupled to the feed reservoir. The feed dispensing assembly includes a check valve to allow selective access to the feed material. The check valve inhibits feed leakage from the feed reservoir during pressure fluctuations within the feed reservoir. | 12-25-2008 |
| 20110088626 | ADJUSTABLE ANIMAL FEEDER - An animal feeder is mountable to an exterior support and includes an inner housing having a cavity for containing feed and an outer housing for selectively blocking and providing access to the cavity. Access is dependent upon a force exerted on the outer housing. The animal feeder also includes an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the force required to block access. | 04-21-2011 |
| 20120037080 | SELECTIVE ANIMAL FEEDER - An animal feeder includes a feed bin configured to hold feed stock. The feed bin has a first feed port. The animal feeder also includes an outer housing positioned around at least a portion of the feed bin. The outer housing has a second feed port. The animal feeder further includes a magnet supported by one of the feed bin and the outer housing. The magnet magnetically couples the outer housing to the feed bin. The outer housing is movable relative to the feed bin between a first position, in which the outer housing is magnetically coupled to the feed bin such that the first feed port and the second feed port are at least partially aligned, and a second position, in which the outer housing is not magnetically coupled to the feed bin and the first feed port and the second feed port are out of alignment. | 02-16-2012 |

| 20110214329 | WEAPON ACCESSORY MOUNTING ADAPTER - A weapon accessory mounting adapter that increases the accessory mounting capacity of a weapon by utilizing a bipod stud or picatinny rail to attach accessories. This in turn, makes the weapon and its operator more responsive to changing shooting scenarios. The weapon accessory mounting adapter utilizes the bayonet mounting lug and flash suppressor of the weapon for temporary attachment of the accessories. This configuration allows the retention of weapon ergonomics when the weapon accessory mounting adapter is attached and maintains a low weapon weight when detached. Good ergonomics and low weight are important considerations in regard to effective weapon handling. | 09-08-2011 |

| 20090177664 | System and Method for Regulatory Rules Repository Generation and Maintenance - A system and method for deriving compliance requirements from statutes, regulations, case law, official interpretations, attorney general opinions, determination and other interpretive letters, administrative agency regulations, and sources prescribing and interpreting compliance requirements for a jurisdiction, preparing compliance rules documentation that reflect these regulatory requirements, creating computer-encoded compliance rules from the compliance rules documentation, and storing these computer-encoded compliance rules in a compliance rules repository within a regulatory compliance computer system. The jurisdiction may be Federal, state or local authority. The regulatory compliance computer system makes use of the computer-encoded compliance rules by extracting compliance review data from a institution's data system and archiving the institution's data file in a compliance review file database, comparing the compliance review file against the applicable computer-encoded compliance rules in the rules repository, and preparing a regulatory compliance results file that captures noncompliant data in the institution's data system. | 07-09-2009 |

| 20100308515 | APPARATUS AND PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURING A VACUUM MOLDED FIBERGLASS CHIPPER BODY - A process for making a fiberglass chipper body. The process includes first providing a mold having a flange extending around an outside periphery of the mold. Next, the mold is coated with a gel-coat layer. At least one layer of fiberglass is then placed onto the mold over the gel-coat layer. The next step is to place a cover over the mold to completely cover the fiberglass. Breather strips are then inserted around the outside periphery of the mold, a plenum is placed onto the mold flange, and a vacuum is attached to the plenum. Once a resin is injected through the cover into the fiberglass, the fiberglass is cured under vacuum before the fiberglass chipper body is removed from the mold. | 12-09-2010 |

| 20080214307 | Method for configuration - A method for configuring an EGM from a remote terminal thereby providing improvements in operational efficiency when configuring EGMs. For example, operational efficiencies are possible by providing direct access to configure an EGM without the technician traveling to the physical machine, which may be miles away. For local EGM's, there will be efficiencies obtained by the number of EGM's configured per hour/per technician. For extremely remote EGM's, there are additional efficiencies by the reduction of travel and lodging expenses for the technician. Additionally, remote configuration of an EGM reduces security overhead. | 09-04-2008 |
