| 20100000181 | Impact resistant multipane window - Briefly, therefore the present invention is directed to a novel method of making a double glazed impact resistant window. The method includes forming a window sash that delineates a mounting space for mounting a first pane and a second pane opposite and parallel to and spaced apart from each other and adhering or coating at least two layers of a durable transparent polymer film to a surface of the first pane such that the at least two layers are not adhered or coated in directions that are parallel to one another. The method further includes conforming the pane to the size and shape of the mounting space, mounting the first pane in the mounting space with the non-film covered surface of the pane directly adjacent the sash, conforming the second pane to the size and shape of the mounting space, wherein the second pane is free of the durable transparent polymer film, and mounting the second pane in the mounting space. | 01-07-2010 |
| 20100186641 | IMPACT RESISTANT WINDOW - A novel impact and blast resistant window is presented. A surface of a window pane that is adjacent to an interior of a building has a durable transparent polymer film coated or adhered thereto. The surface of a window pane that is adjacent to an interior of a building is sealed to the sash by double sided tape. The resulting window produces an unexpected ability for the durable transparent polymer film to retain pieces of broken glass driven toward the interior of the building by a missile striking an exterior of the window, without the durable transparent polymer film pulling loose from the window sash. | 07-29-2010 |

| 20090242284 | TRANSPORTATION CART WITH ELECTRONIC CONTROLS, STEERING AND BRAKES SELECTIVELY CONFIGURED FOR RIDING AND WALKING MODES OF USE - A transportation vehicle configured for riding and walking modes of use includes a support frame having a front end and a rear end; and a plurality of front wheels rotatably coupled to the front end, and a plurality of rear wheels rotatably coupled to the rear end. A seat is coupled to the frame and configured to support a driver. A steering assembly is operably coupled to the front wheels and configured to controllably pivot the front wheels for steering. A braking system is operably configured to stop motion of the vehicle. A rigid walking arm is pivotally coupled to the steering assembly at a pivotally mounted end of the walking arm. Motor operation and braking controls are provided on the walking arm for walking mode and adjacent to the seat for riding mode. A relay disables controls for one mode (e.g., walking mode or riding mode controls) while the other mode is effective. Switching logic for selecting between walking mode and riding mode is also provided. A motor controller receives input from controls, sensors and switches, and governs motor speed and direction in accordance with preset walking mode and riding mode control parameters. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20090242285 | TRANSPORTATION CART WITH EXTENDABLE ARM AND A THROTTLE COUPLED THERETO FOR CONTROLLING A MOTOR AND ASSOCIATED METHODS - A vehicle is for riding and walking modes of use and includes at least one seat coupled to a frame. A plurality of wheels are rotatably coupled to the frame. At least one motor is for driving at least one wheel of the plurality thereof. A steering assembly is coupled to at least one wheel of the plurality thereof. A riding steering apparatus is coupled to the steering assembly for the riding mode of use. A riding throttle is coupled to the at least one motor for the riding mode of use. A walking steering apparatus is coupled to the steering assembly for the walking mode of use and includes an extendable arm. A walking throttle is coupled to the extendable arm to control the at least one motor for the walking mode of use based upon extension of the extendable arm. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20110041706 | CHOCOLATE MANUFACTURING APPARATUS INCLUDING WALKING BEAM CONVEYOR AND ASSOCIATED METHODS - A chocolate manufacturing machine includes a chocolate dispenser and a chocolate cooler downstream from the chocolate dispenser. There is also a walking beam conveyor to advance a plurality of chocolate molding trays along a path of travel from the chocolate dispenser toward the chocolate cooler. The walking beam conveyor may comprise a pair of spaced apart tray guide rails to guide the plurality of chocolate molding trays. There may be at least one pair of walking beams adjacent the pair of spaced apart tray guide rails. A drive arrangement may cooperate with the at least one pair of walking beams to advance the plurality of chocolate molding trays along the path of travel. | 02-24-2011 |
| 20110045114 | CHOCOLATE MOLDING TRAY FOR A CHOCOLATE MANUFACTURING APPARATUS AND RELATED APPARATUS AND METHOD - A chocolate manufacturing machine includes a conveyor to advance a plurality of chocolate molding trays from a chocolate dispenser to a chocolate cooler downstream therefrom. The chocolate molding trays each have a face defining at least one chocolate mold cavity and have a back opposite the face. A plurality of face alignment features are associated with the face of each chocolate molding tray. Further, a plurality of back alignment features are associated with the back of each chocolate molding tray. The face and back alignment features permit alignment of an adjacent pair of chocolate molding trays in a face-to-face, back-to-back, and face-to-back relationship. The face and back alignment features may also permit vertical stacking and unstacking of adjacent pairs of the chocolate molding trays but limit horizontal movement thereof. | 02-24-2011 |
