| 20090095730 | ADHESIVE DISPENSING SYSTEM WITH SPACED PORTS AND RELATED METHODS - An adhesive melter includes an inlet port, an outlet port, and an interior configured to heat and hold adhesive pellets. The melter includes a lid for providing access to the interior and the outlet port communicates with the interior. An intake conduit is coupled to the inlet port and is configured to deliver forced air and adhesive pellets to the interior. An exhaust conduit is coupled to the outlet port and is configured to remove the forced air from the interior and to receive a filter for trapping particles of the adhesive pellets borne by the forced air. The outlet port and the inlet port are non-concentric but closely spaced and centrally located on the lid and the outlet port is spaced from the inlet port so as to cause the forced air to travel in a generally U-shaped path within the interior of the melter. | 04-16-2009 |

| 20090014280 | Blow-off sprocket - An improved blow-off system wherein compressed air directed through a nozzle is used to eject individual cans from their support pins, wherein the nozzles move in synchronized manner with the individual cans such that the ejection operation is accomplished without need to stop or slow the processing equipment. The blow-off system has a sprocket, such that the sprocket of the blow-off system can be substituted for an idler or drive sprocket found in the pin chain conveyor system of the processing equipment. Multiple blow-off nozzles are disposed radially from a central distribution manifold, with each nozzle being operated by a dedicated valve. As the cans pass around the sprocket for 90 to 180 degrees, the nozzles are aligned with each can over this entire arc. If a defect is noted such that the can needs to be ejected, the individual nozzle associated with the defective can is activated. | 01-15-2009 |

| 20100200316 | Linear Motor Charged Electric Vehicle - An all-electric, wheeled vehicle has a magnet array that can be selectively moved between a retracted position and a deployed position, to respectively operate in a motor mode or a generator mode. When in the motor mode, with its magnet array retracted, wheel rotation to move the vehicle is powered by an onboard battery. Alternately, in the generator mode with the magnet array deployed, the vehicle is powered by a Linear Synchronous Motor (LSM). Specifically, the deployed magnet array interacts with a multiple-phase winding (i.e. LSM) embedded into the roadway on which the vehicle travels. Further, rotation of the wheel during vehicle movement in the generator mode recharges the battery. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20100252340 | Transport System Incorporating Linear Motor Charged Electric Vehicle - A system and method are provided for moving a vehicle along a roadway. The system includes at least one power segment that incorporates a multiple-phase winding. Structurally, the winding is embedded into the roadway for interaction with a magnet system mounted on the vehicle. With this interaction, a Linear Synchronous Motor (LSM) is established between the roadway and the vehicle to drive movement of the vehicle along the roadway. Also, the vehicle includes a mechanism for initially synchronizing a waveform speed of the multiple-phase winding with the speed of the vehicle. Further, the vehicle is able to selectively establish the LSM for use when desired. | 10-07-2010 |
| 20110052317 | Embedded Module for Linear Synchronous Motor - A method of constructing a roadway having an embedded linear synchronous motor (LSM) utilizes prefabricated modules. Structurally, each module comprises a top plate, a multiple-phase winding tied to the top plate, and a concrete mold encapsulating the winding. With the modules prefabricated, the roadway is constructed by first excavating a trench to position a foundation at the trench bottom. Then a mud matt is positioned on the foundation. Next, the modules are laid end-to-end on the mud matt. Thereafter, the windings in adjacent modules are electrically interconnected through joints. Further, the joints are covered by junction boxes, and the trench around the roadway is filled in with aggregate. | 03-03-2011 |

| 20090192538 | SAFETY SCALPEL HANDLE - A scalpel handle includes a sliding shield to block the blade tip or surround the blade when the scalpel is not in use. The shield is advantageously slidable from an extended position to a withdrawn position, wherein the shield is substantially within the handle. Consequently, the user's hand grasps only onto the handle, and not the shield. This helps to provide a more solid feel, similar to a conventional scalpel handle. When in the withdrawn position, the shield avoids interfering with cutting or puncturing blade movements. | 07-30-2009 |

| 20110202013 | MEDICAL INJECTOR WITH COUPLED BODY PORTIONS - A medical injector is provided herein which includes first and second body portions each having a longitudinal axis and configured to couple at a coupling. The first and second body portions are complementarily formed so as to be movable about the coupling. The medical injector also includes an axially-displaceable plunger; biasing element for advancing the plunger a predetermined distance; and, a releasable retainer for releasably retaining the plunger in a first state against the force of the biasing element. In an initial state, the axes of the first and second body portions are not aligned and the plunger is in the first state. In a coupled state, the axes of the first and second body portions are axially aligned, and the releasable retainer releases the plunger, thereby allowing the biasing element to advance the plunger the predetermined distance. Advantageously, the subject invention provides a medical injector having an automated plunger drive which is triggered upon assembly of the pen injector, thereby minimizing premature or failed activations. | 08-18-2011 |

| 20110092917 | DRUG DELIVERY DEVICE HAVING CARTRIDGE WITH ENLARGED DISTAL END - A drug delivery device is provided herein which includes a tubular body having a proximal end and a distal end, the tubular body defining an opening at or in proximity to the distal end, the opening defining an inner diameter. A drug cartridge is also provided having a proximal end, a distal end and a barrel portion disposed therebetween. The distal end of the drug cartridge is larger in diameter than the inner diameter of the opening. The drug cartridge is inserted into the tubular body to a use position by first inserting the proximal end of the drug cartridge into the opening. The distal end of the drug cartridge limits insertion of the drug cartridge into the tubular body due to the interengagement of the distal end of the drug cartridge and the tubular body. With the drug cartridge being in the use position, the distal end of the drug cartridge is located at least partially externally of the tubular body. The medical pen injector of the subject invention further includes an adaptor engageable with the body. The adaptor encompasses the distal end of the drug cartridge with the drug cartridge being in the use position. The adaptor includes features for mounting a needle assembly thereto. Advantageously, with the subject invention, a drug cartridge having a large distal end may be accommodated with a drug delivery device, e.g., a pen injector type device. | 04-21-2011 |
