20090313953Twin Layer Packaging Machine - A twin layer packaging machine is disclosed for packing cartons with articles such as beverage cans in two layers, a top layer overlying a bottom layer. The packaging machine has a selector flight defining selector bays, a can flight defining can bays, and a carton flight transporting cartons to be packed, all synchronously movable with each other. A single infeed assembly at the upstream end of the machine directs first groups of cans into selector bays on the selector flight, sweeps them into adjacent can bays, and directs second groups of cans into the same selector bays, all on the same level. The selector flight and the second groups of cans in its selector bays then ramps up to an elevated level, from where the second groups of cans are swept from the selector bays into the adjacent can bays atop the already loaded first groups of cans. The thus staged twin layer cans are then pushed into open cartons on the carton flight, whereupon the cartons are closed and sealed.12-24-2009

20100191799COLLABORATIVE BROWSING AND RELATED METHODS AND SYSTEMS - A system for facilitating collaboration among users via a network includes a server and user computers. Each user computer has a browser client configured with the server to provide collaborative services relative to applications invoked by users on the user computers. The browser clients and the server make available to each user computer, in web format, content from heterogeneous content sources, at least some content obtained via the applications. The browser clients are configured with the server to capture in a web layer and make available to the user computers explicit social information and implicit social information provided by the users via the browser clients using the collaborative services.07-29-2010

20100170583Fluid Control Valve - A fluid control valve includes a valve housing having an inlet and an outlet. A metering plug is located within the valve housing, and is configured to move linearly within the valve housing along a valve axis between an open position to allow fluid flow between the inlet and the outlet, and a closed position to block fluid flow between the inlet and the outlet. A reference plane is oriented perpendicular to the valve axis. The metering plug includes a nose portion having a sensing port in fluid communication with fluid flow at the outlet. The sensing port is oriented perpendicular to the valve axis and generally parallel to the reference plane.07-08-2010

20120097083MULTI-NEEDLE QUILTING MACHINE AND NEEDLE AND LOOPER DRIVE MECHANISM THEREFOR AND METHOD OF OPERATING SAME - A multi-needle quilting machine is provided with a common drive that drives the needles and loopers. It may also drive the presser foot assembly. In the illustrated embodiment, a drive motor drives a rotating drive shaft. The drive shaft has an off-center drive assembly connected to it that rocks a needle rocker shaft as well as looper rocker shafts, and also a presser foot shaft. The off-center drive includes a pair of eccentrics on the drive shaft at each side of the machine. Each eccentric oscillates a linkage plate that is fixed to a shaft such as the needle rocker shaft and is also linked to the looper rocker shafts and the presser foot shaft. The eccentric thereby reciprocates the needles and oscillates the loopers, as well as reciprocates the presser foot plate, in permanent synchronization.04-26-2012

20090134670Seal and water catch for recreational vehicle - A seal between a base structure and a slide out structure of a recreational vehicle includes a panel section mounted to the base structure, the panel section including a front edge, a rear edge, a first side and a second side. A sealing element extends from the panel section, between the front edge and the rear edge, in a direction from the first side toward the second side of the panel section, the sealing element extending to contact the slide out structure and wipe moisture therefrom upon relative movement of the slide out structure and base structure. A catch flange extends upwardly from the rear edge of the panel section. A first side basin detail extends from the first side of the panel section, and a second side basin detail extends from the second side of the panel section. The catch flange, the first side basin detail and the second side basin detail define a water catch that is open at the front edge of the panel section, the water catch collecting moisture wiped from the slide out structure by the sealing element.05-28-2009

20110179024SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR RANKING DOCUMENTS - Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for ranking documents. An exemplary method includes receiving a plurality of queries from a user that are related to a search topic. The queries are compared to a plurality of documents stored in a database to identify candidate documents that match one or more of the queries. The number of matching queries is determined for the candidate documents. The candidate documents are ranked, using a computer processor, for relevance to the search topic based at least on the number of matching queries for each respective candidate document.07-21-2011

20110320424ASSESSING AND ADAPTING COMPONENT PARAMETERS - A parameter-selection technique that allows preferred permutations to be rapidly identified based on real-world user behavior is described. In particular, a set of web pages that include different permutations of the set of parameters are generated. Then, at least a subset of these web pages is provided to the users in response to their requests. For example, the requests may be associated with user selections of search results, which are associated with search queries provided by the users to a search engine. While the users interact with the subset of the set of web pages, their actions and the associated context (with respect to the different permutations) are tracked. Next, the tracked user actions are used to identify the web pages associated with the preferred permutations of the set of parameters.12-29-2011
