20160060082 | Hydraulic Winch Control System and Method - A hydraulic winch assembly uses a control algorithm that separates brake control from drum rotation to permit fine control of load position. Actuation of an operator interface to a first position displacement threshold will release a drum brake but will not activate a hydraulic pump for operating a hydraulic motor coupled to the drum until the operator interface is moved to a second position displacement threshold. During the operating condition when the brake is released but the pump is not operating, the force of a load applied to a cable coupled to the drum may cause the cable to slowly unwind from and rotate the drum, thereby permitting fine control of drum rotation. Additionally, when the pump is activated upon further movement of the operator interface, a speed of the motor may be modulated, such as by a gear ratio command, to permit precise control over lower drum speeds. | 03-03-2016 |

20150150286 | FOOD PACKAGE INSERT FOR PRESERVING FRESHNESS AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE - A vapor-absorbing insert for hot food containers comprising a first and second layers of highly absorbent cotton fiber, and a third absorbent layer (which faces downward toward the food) having an applied layer of adhesive protected by a removable release layer which, when removed, exposes the adhesive for contact with the underside of a food container lid. The insert is manufactured by staging and stacking the several layers of cellulosic material in an assembly machine and then pressing them into a continuous laminated composite strip. The several layers may be bonded by pressure-induced interaction between the fibers of adjoining layers, and/or by adhesive fusing at their peripheral edges, and/or by spaced perorations which intertwine fibers between adjoining layers, after which the bonded layers are cut to shape. In use, upon peeling off the release layer, the element self-adheres to the underside of the food container lid. | 06-04-2015 |
