| 20080211144 | Hollow wall base - A method for manufacturing a flexible, extruded plastic wall base with a hollow core is presented. The method includes using extrusion die for heating and extruding plastics using a multi-functional insert within the die and air pressure to create a hollow core in the wall base. The hollow core allows less material to flow though the die so that the die stays hotter and the flow of the extruded plastic is not impeded. The resulting extruded plastic wall base is comprised of a generally thick portion, a generally thin portion and a profile on the face or front of the wall base. | 09-04-2008 |

| 20080313228 | CONTROLLER LOG AND LOG AGGREGATION - Systems and methods of recording user actions on an industrial controller. When a user logs into an industrial controller (e.g., a stand-alone controller) changes made to the controller can be recorded by a logging component. The recorded information can be encrypted to ensure reliability of the information. The logging component can be periodically brought into communication with an aggregation component which can receive log entries from a plurality of controllers and their associated logging components, and compile the log entries into an aggregate log. | 12-18-2008 |

| 20110225216 | METHOD FOR CONSISTENT STORAGE OF DATA IN AN INDUSTRIAL CONTROLLER - A system and method for employing a file system and file system services on the industrial controller. The file system allows industrial control programs to implement many functions previously performed within the industrial control program and stored in the same memory as the industrial control program. An execution engine is provided that interprets instructions included in an industrial control program. The instructions utilize services in the file system for including user defined routine files loaded from local or remote locations, to load and unload recipe files from local and remote locations, to log and retrieve measured data and trend data to files at local or remote locations, to select different operating systems and to select a running program from a plurality of running programs utilizing the file system. | 09-15-2011 |

| 20100179288 | Highly porous and mechanically strong ceramic oxide aerogels - Structurally stable and mechanically strong ceramic oxide aerogels are provided. The aerogels are cross-linked via organic polymer chains that are attached to and extend from surface-bound functional groups provided or present over the internal surfaces of a mesoporous ceramic oxide particle network via appropriate chemical reactions. The functional groups can be hydroxyl groups, which are native to ceramic oxides, or they can be non-hydroxyl functional groups that can be decorated over the internal surfaces of the ceramic oxide network. Methods of preparing such mechanically strong ceramic oxide aerogels also are provided. | 07-15-2010 |

| 20100212744 | SELF-ACTING SELF-CIRCULATING FLUID SYSTEM WITHOUT EXTERNAL PRESSURE SOURCE AND USE IN BEARING SYSTEM - The invention includes a method for continually circulating a fluid in a system, in the absence of an external pumping mechanism, by providing a fluid, an active space capable of generating a higher pressure zone and causing a contiguous lower pressure zone, a passive space, and a porous medium disposed between the active space and the passive space, and generating a pressure differential relationship between the active space and the passive space causing the fluid to circulate freely in both directions between the active space and the passive space, across the porous medium, without the aid of an external pumping system, such that the fluid circulation defines a self-acting self-circulating fluid system, and to the system created thereby. | 08-26-2010 |

| 20080296251 | Non-Removable Finish and Closure System - Non-removable finish and closure finish system that resists rotational movement so as to be rendered substantially non-removable by the consumer. The closure and finish have complementary thread segments with ratchet-type engaging portions or lugs extending below thread segments on the finish and closure, the closure lugs being disposed on an inner skirt spaced radially inwardly from an outer skirt to inhibit access to the interlocking lugs. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20090107999 | NON-REAPPLYING DISPENSING CLOSURE - A container assembly includes a container having an unthreaded finish portion and a closure having a downwardly depending sidewall and blocking structure provided at a lower end of the sidewall for securing the closure on to the unthreaded finish portion. The sidewall is provided with a predetermined area of weakness so that in the event that an attempt is made to remove the closure from the container the predetermined area of weakness will rupture, leaving the closure with insufficient structural integrity to be successfully reapplied to the container. The container assembly has particular utility for use in packaging brand-name comestibles such as ketchup for restaurant use. It will frustrate efforts by the restaurant to replenish the brand-name comestible with a cheaper replacement within a dispensing container that is still labeled with the brand of the original product. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20090236302 | Finish Portion For Plastic Preform and Container and Method of Making - A preform for making a plastic container includes a main body portion and a threaded finish portion that has an outer surface and an inner surface. The threaded finish portion has a proximal and that is unitary with the main body portion of the preform and a distal end that is opposite from the proximal end. At least one external thread is defined on the outer surface of the finish portion. A gripping indentation is advantageously defined in the outer surface and is longitudinally positioned between the external thread and the distal end of the finish portion. A container having such a finish portion and a method of making a container is also disclosed. | 09-24-2009 |

| 20110021296 | PITCHING TRAINING AID - A pitching training aid includes a mat, a pitching rubber attached to the mat and indicia displayed on the mat to instruction a baseball player on how to pitch a baseball. The indicia includes the steps of “start,” “rocker,” “pivot/balance” and “step/release.” The indicia also includes a series of arrows which instructs the baseball player on the sequence of the steps. A straight line extends from the pitching rubber down a center of the mat to show where the “step/release” position should be. A top surface of the mat has an artificial grass surface and a bottom surface of the mat includes a nonskid material to prevent the mat from sliding during use. The mat may include two pitching rubbers and two sets of indicia on opposites ends thereof with one pitching rubber and indicia being used to instruct right hand pitchers and the other pitching rubber and indicia being used to instruct left handed pitchers. | 01-27-2011 |

| 20090107560 | SWITCHOVER VALVE - A valve provides automatic switchover from a plurality of fluid pressure sources to a common outlet. The valve includes first and second spools respectively in first and second spool chambers, and each spool includes at least one sealing member carried thereon for selective sealing engagement with said first and second spool chambers. Fluid passageways transfer spool controlled fluid pressures between the first and second spool chambers. Each of said first and second spools are resiliently biased towards an open position, and fluid-biased towards a closed position. In an open position, the first and second spools are adapted to deliver pressurized fluid from an associated inlet port to an end chamber of the opposite spool chamber. In a closed position, the first and second spools are adapted via the at least one sealing member to inhibit delivery of pressurized fluid. A manifold assembly provides fluid communication to the common outlet. | 04-30-2009 |
