Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090071869DISPLAY FOR SHEET GOODS AND METHOD OF ASSEMBLY - A display having two upstanding side panels hinged to opposite vertical edges of an upstanding front panel, the side panels having inwardly folded rear edges. A foot member coupled to lower corners of the junctions of the front panel with the side panels fix the position of the side panels relative to the front panel. Tabs located along the edges of a shelf are inserted into slots located in the front panel and the side panels to fix the position of the shelf. The slots are defined by a pair of horizontal slits cut in the upstanding panels to define a band of material between the pair of slits, the band of material being displaced inwardly to form a slot for receiving a corresponding tab. A foot member can be coupled to each of the lower corners defined by the junctions of a back panel with the side panels to fix the position of the back panel relative to the side panels. Caster assemblies on downward facing surfaces of the foot members facilitate movement of the display. Graphics panels can be secured to an outside surface of any or the upstanding panels with suitable indicia related to the product to be displayed.03-19-2009
20100083905STRIP WEATHER SHIELDED FEEDER - An animal feeder includes a base, a feeding trough supported by the base, the feeding trough having an outer rim. A feed hopper is situated over the feeding trough to deliver feed to the feeding trough. A roof extends laterally at least over the feeding trough outer rim. A curtain formed from a plurality of adjacent vertically elongated members having upper ends connected to the roof and lower ends extending downward laterally outside the feeding trough outer rim so that the vertically elongated members of the curtain inhibit rain and other weather related elements from contacting the feeding trough while being displaceable by an animal seeking access to the feeding trough04-08-2010
20110108789TERMINATOR BRACKET ASSEMBLY - A coupling for an end of polymer jacketed high tensile wire fencing formed by a plate having first and second edges, a slot passing through the plate perpendicular to the first and second edges, having upper and lower ends spaced from the edges, a fold in the fencing defining a bight joining a shorter portion to a longer portion of the fencing, the fold penetrating the slot, and a pin of a length greater than the distance between the upper and lower ends of the slot, the pin having an end inserted into the bight in the fold of the fencing to retain the fold of the fencing in the slot, the pin being vertically removable from the bight to quickly release the fencing from the coupling.05-12-2011

20100232660BIOLOGICAL GROWTH PLATE SCANNER WITH AUTOMATED INTAKE - The invention is directed to a biological scanner for scanning biological growth plates. The biological growth plate is loaded into the biological scanner via motorized rollers, and an actuator presses the growth plate against a platen once the growth plate is drawn to a scanning position within the scanner. The biological scanner then generates one or more images of the growth plate. Moreover, sensors can be arranged to facilitate sensing and positioning of the growth plate in a plurality of locations for imaging different parts of the plate. Additional embodiments are directed to features such as a hinged door that facilitates access to the scanner, and footings disposed on various sides of the scanner to facilitate flip-over of the scanner for simplified use by right-handed or left-handed users.09-16-2010

20090135603BACK SIDE PLATE ILLUMINATION FOR BIOLOGICAL GROWTH PLATE SCANNER - A biological growth plate scanner includes a multi-color illumination system that illuminates a biological growth plate with different illumination colors. A monochromatic image capture device captures images of the biological growth plate during illumination of the growth plate with each of the illumination colors. A processor combines the images to form a composite multi-color image, and/or individual components of the composite image, and analyzes the composite image to produce an analytical result such as a colony count or a presence/absence result. The biological growth plate scanner may include both front and back illumination components. The back illumination component may include a diffuser element disposed under the biological growth plate. The diffuser element receives light from one or more laterally disposed illumination sources, and distributes the light to illuminate a back side of the biological growth plate. The illumination sources in the front and back illumination components may take the form of sets of light emitting diodes (LEDs) that can be independently controlled by the processor.05-28-2009

20110244429Method of Making a Dental Restoration, and System for Design and Manufacturing a Dental Restoration - A method of making a dental restoration is provided. The dental restoration comprises a frame and a veneer. An inner veneer surface and an outer frame surface are adapted to be mated with one another to form the dental restoration. The method in particular comprises steps of (a) providing an outer veneer surface; (b) determining an outer frame surface, based on the outer veneer surface; (c) determining an inner veneer surface, based on the outer frame surface; and (d) providing an inner frame surface, based on a natural tooth surface. The method may be advantageous for rapid, precise and inexpensive manufacturing of a dental restoration.10-06-2011
