| 20110048575 | VISCOUS MATERIAL NONCONTACT JETTING SYSTEM - A viscous material noncontact jetting system has a jetting dispenser mounted for relative motion with respect to a surface. A control is operable to cause the jetting dispenser to jet a viscous material droplet that is applied to the surface as a viscous material dot. A device, such as a camera or weigh scale, is connected to the control and provides a feedback signal representing a size-related physical characteristic of the dot applied to the surface. The size-related physical characteristics of subsequently applied dots is controlled by heating and cooling, or adjusting a piston stroke in the jetting dispenser, in response to the size-related physical characteristic feedback.

| 20120040088 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR APPLYING A LIQUID COATING MATERIAL TO A SUBSTRATE - Systems and methods for applying liquid coating materials to a substrate, such as an electronic component or circuit board. A control system of a coating system controls an applicator and a robot moving the applicator to apply the liquid coating material to the substrate in accordance with the information contained in a coating program. The control system determines a volume of liquid coating material actually dispensed onto the substrate during the coating program, and compares the dispensed volume to a desired dispensed volume of liquid coating material to produce an error signal representing the difference between the calculated and desired volume values. The control system uses the error signal to change the dispensed volume of liquid coating material on a subsequent substrate by a future coating program. | 02-16-2012 |

| 20100106130 | METHOD FOR TREATING OBESITY BY EXTRACTING FOOD - The present invention is directed to an apparatus and method for treating obesity. An artificial obstruction is introduced into the patient's gastrointestinal tract, and a tube is positioned that passes through a patient's abdominal wall into the upper digestive system of the patient. The patient is allowed to carry out his/her everyday affairs including ingesting food. After the patient has ingested food, the food is extracted by pumping it out of the upper digestive system through the tube.

The process of removing ingested food can be improved by alternating the infusion of liquid into the stomach with the removal of material from the stomach. Optionally, stomach acid may be captured and returned to the stomach. Optionally, nutritional supplements or medicines may be added to the infused liquid. Optionally, a flush mount connectorized system with a built in valve may be used to simplify the interface with the gastrostomy hardware that remains installed in the patient. Optionally, the system may be configured to disable itself from further use after a triggering event (e.g., the passage of time or a predetermined number of uses) has occurred. | 08-04-2011 |

| 20090107892 | SHEET MATERIAL TRANSPOSITION FOR SORTING APPARATUS - A displacement system and sorting apparatus for transposing the orientation of mailpiece from a first position to a second position such that the mailpiece may occupy a reduced space envelope within sortation bins/trays of a mailpiece sorter. The displacement system comprises first and second pairs of cooperating elements each defining a nip for accepting first and second portions, respectively, of the mailpiece therebetween. Further, the system includes a means for driving the first and second pairs of cooperating elements such that the first and second portions of mailpiece are each conveyed along a feed path at different velocities thereby transposing the mailpiece about an axis and changing the orientation of the mailpiece from the first to the second positions. The cooperating elements may include rolling elements such as nip rollers, spherical elements or belt pairs. The sortation bins/trays are adapted to support the short edge while guiding the long edge of the mailpiece. That is, the base of the bins/trays supports the on-edge width dimension of the mailpiece and sidewalls substantially normal to the base support the length dimension of the mailpiece. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20090114576 | SHEET MATERIAL SORTER AND PNEUMATIC CONVEYANCE/DIVERTING SYSTEM THEREFOR - A sortation bin module having a conveyor and diverter module for pneumatically securing, releasing and diverting selected mailpieces to a bank of sortation bins. The conveyor module includes a conveyor surface for transporting sheet material along the feed path and a pneumatic system for developing a pressure differential across the conveyor surface to hold the sheet material on the conveyor surface during transport. The diverter module includes a diverter surface for sorting sheet material from the conveyor surface, i.e., diverting sheet material from the feed path. The diverter module, furthermore, includes a pneumatic system for developing a pressure differential across the diverter surface to hold the sheet material on the diverter surface during sortation. The conveyor and diverter surfaces are also arranged such that the surfaces oppose each other to define a transfer interface. Moreover, the bin module includes a processor operative to independently control the pressure differential of the conveyor and diverter modules such that sheet material is held against the respective conveyor and diverter surfaces by a negative pressure differential and transferred from the conveyor to the diverter surface by controlling the pressure differential of the modules when the sheet material is interposed at the transfer interface. | 05-07-2009 |
