| 20100070169 | Method of advertising using waypoints - A method of doing business in which a Service Provider grants to organizations rights to waypoints to which users may travel and view the organizations' messages. The method may include the steps of granting to the organization the right to the waypoint, receiving from the organization a message to be associated with the waypoint, storing the waypoint and the message in a database, allowing for bi-directional data communication with a mobile device which is able to determine its own location, receiving from the device an indication that the device is at or near the waypoint, and automatically causing the device to display the message when the device is at or near the waypoint. | 03-18-2010 |

| 20100230224 | Cargo carrying vehicle with safety system for shore power connection - A cargo carrying vehicle has a towing unit and a storage unit defining a cargo space. The towing unit is operable to: a) advance the storage unit; and b) generate electrical power for operating at least one component on the vehicle. An input is provided for external power to be supplied to at least one of: a) charge; and b) operate the at least one component. A safety system has first and second states. With the safety system in the first state, with no external power supplied to the external power input, the towing unit can be operated to advance the storage unit. With the safety system in the second state, with external power supplied to the eternal power input, the towing unit cannot be operated to advance the storage unit. | 09-16-2010 |

| 20090273657 | Rapid Response One-Way Valve for High Speed Solid Ink Delivery - A valve assembly is provided for a high-speed phase change ink image producing machine between a first storage reservoir for receiving and holding a first volume of melted ink from a source and a second storage reservoir for holding a second volume of melted ink to be delivered under pressure to a printhead system. The valve assembly includes a passive valve disc movable from the closed position in which said disc abuts a valve seat in sealed contact, and an open position in which said valve disc is supported by an angled surface. An upper portion of the valve disc is unsupported and a flow director surface behind the disc directs fluid flow against the upper portion to assist in closing the valve. The surface characteristics of the valve seat are controlled to improve the “crack” time of the valve disc when opening. | 11-05-2009 |

| 20100053281 | Temperature Sensor Mount For Melt Plate - A solid ink printer comprises a melt plate configured to melt solid ink. A heater is connected to the melt plate in order to raise the temperature of the melt plate. The temperature of the melt plate is detected by a temperature sensor that is provided away from the surface of the melt plate but is configured to sense the temperature of the melt plate. A mount is positioned on the melt plate between the temperature sensor and the melt plate. The mount comprises a mica layer and at least one polyimide film layer. The mount is arranged on the melt plate such that the mica layer of the mount may be adjacent to the melt plate and the polyimide film layer may be adjacent to the temperature sensor. A pressure sensitive adhesive may be used to connect the mount to the melt plate. | 03-04-2010 |

| 20090005899 | PUNCH REPRESENTATION FOR PUNCH GEOMETRY - The present disclosure includes, among other things, systems, methods and program products for representing punch geometry and associated manufacturing information. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20100106463 | CUSTOM EQUATIONS FOR THE UNFOLDING OF SHEET METAL - A computer implemented method, apparatus, and article of manufacture provide the ability to utilize custom equations for the unfolding of sheet metal in a solid modeling application. A drawing model is obtained and defines a sheet metal object in the solid modeling application. User input is accepted that defines a custom equation for a first variable that is directly used to calculate a developed length for a bend in the sheet metal object. The custom equation is converted into a standard equation that produces the developed length and is accepted by a modeling kernel of the solid modeling application. The modeling kernel dynamically displays an unfolded version of the sheet metal object based on the standard equation and the calculated developed length without exposing the standard equation to the user. | 04-29-2010 |

| 20100138021 | MODELING SHEET METAL TRANSITIONAL SHAPES WITH MANUFACTURING INTENT AND RESULTS - A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture provide the ability to generate a lofted sheet metal model. User input is accepted that obtains two input profiles. A triangulated lofted shape is generated that transitions between the two profiles. The triangulated lofted shape is adjusted to reflect a manufacturing process. A manufacturable lofted sheet metal shape is then generated based on the adjusted triangulated lofted shape. | 06-03-2010 |
