Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090217833Conveyor and method for changing the pitch of printed products - A printing press is provided. The printing press includes a print unit printing a stream of printed products, the printed products having a first pitch. The printing press also includes a pitch changing device. The pitch changing device includes an upper roller mounted on an upper axle, a lower roller mounted on a lower axle, the upper and lower rollers forming a roller nip, and a motor driving the upper and lower rollers in opposite directions. The nip receives the stream of printed products. The motor varies the velocity of the nip and the printed products using an electronic cam velocity profile so as to alter the first pitch. A method is also provided.09-03-2009
20100101386Variable signature length web cutting apparatus - A variable cutoff web cutting apparatus is provided including a first knife cylinder having a first segmented knife blade. The first knife cylinder rotates about a first cylinder axis in a web travel direction and the first segmented knife blade rotates about a first knife axis in the opposite direction. Also included is a first counterpart cylinder, which the first segmented knife blade contacts to perforate a web. The cutting apparatus also includes a second knife cylinder having a second knife blade. The second knife cylinder rotates about a second cylinder axis in the web travel direction and the second knife blade rotates about a second knife axis the opposite direction. Also included is a second counterpart cylinder, which the second knife blade contacts to cut the web adjacent to where the first segmented knife blade perforated the web, so as to sever the web and create a signature.04-29-2010
20100140311Ribbon transport apparatus and method - A ribbon transport apparatus for a printing press is provided. The ribbon transport apparatus includes a vacuum conveyor belt transporting a ribbon and a manifold supporting the vacuum conveyor belt. The vacuum conveyor belt and the manifold are arranged to draw the ribbon towards the vacuum conveyor belt via a suction. A method of transporting a ribbon in a printing press is also provided.06-10-2010
20110068531Infinitely Variable Format Signature Collection Apparatus and Method of Collecting Signatures - A variable format signature collection apparatus is provided. The variable format signature collection apparatus includes a sprocket and a timing belt traveling about the sprocket. The timing belt includes a plurality of gripper mounts. The gripper mounts include a first set of gripper mounts arranged on the timing belt to support grippers for receiving first signatures of a first cutoff length and a second set of gripper mounts positioned to support grippers for receiving second signatures of a second cutoff length.03-24-2011

20120106030Hermetically Sealed Wet Electrolytic Capacitor - A wet electrolytic capacitor that contains a hermetically sealed lid assembly is disclosed. More specifically, the lid assembly contains a lid (e.g., titanium) that defines an internal orifice. A conductive tube may extend through the orifice that is of a size and shape sufficient to accommodate an anode lead. An insulative material is also provided within the orifice to form a hermetic seal (e.g., glass-to-metal seal), such as between the conductive tube and the lid. The lid assembly also includes a liquid seal that is formed from a sealant material. The liquid seal coats a substantial portion of the lower surface of the lid and hermetic seal to limit contact with any electrolyte that may leak from the casing. To help achieve such surface coverage, the sealant material is generally flowable so that it can be heated during production of the capacitor and flow into small crevices that would otherwise remains uncoated.05-03-2012

20080206485DEVICES FOR EVALUATING MATERIAL PROPERTIES, AND RELATED PROCESSES - A device for measuring at least one property of a material sample is disclosed. The device includes at least one sensor element which is formed by a direct-write technique. The device can be an instrument for measuring strain in the sample, or for measuring other properties or attributes of a sample, such as temperature. A turbine engine disk on which components of property-measuring devices have been direct-written is also described. Methods of forming sensor elements for property-measuring devices are disclosed.08-28-2008
20090053424METHOD FOR REPAIRING HIGH TEMPERATURE ARTICLES - A method for repairing an article comprises providing an article, providing a repair material, and joining said repair material to said article. The repair material comprises, in atom percent, at least about 50% rhodium; up to about 49% of a first material, said first material comprising at least one of palladium, platinum, iridium, and combinations thereof; from about 1% to about 15% of a second material, said second material comprising at least one of tungsten, rhenium, and combinations thereof; and up to about 10% of a third material, said third material comprising at least one of ruthenium, chromium, and combinations thereof. The repair material comprises an A1-structured phase at temperatures greater than about 1000° C., in an amount of at least about 90% by volume.02-26-2009
20090178775METHODS FOR THE FORMATION OF REFRACTORY METAL INTERMETALLIC COMPOSITES, AND RELATED ARTICLES AND COMPOSITIONS - A method for forming an article is described. The method includes the step of applying a precursor material to at least one surface of a mold structure for casting the article, and curing the applied precursor material. The precursor material includes facecoat-forming constituents which can be curably converted into a facecoat; and a protective coating-former for the article being cast. Molten material is then introduced into the mold structure, so as to come in contact with the facecoat formed from the cured precursor material. The molten material is cooled, to form the article. The cured precursor material, which is in contact with a surface of the cast article, is then reacted with the article, to form the protective coating on the surface of the article. Related mold structures are also described.07-16-2009
