| 20100242625 | SYSTEMS FOR WEIGHING A PULLED OBJECT HAVING A CHANGING WEIGHT - A system for measuring the weight of an object while pulling the object upward includes a puller having a frame and a cable having a first end coupled to the object and a second end engaging a second cylinder. At least a portion of the cable engages the outer circumferential surface of a first cylinder and the second cylinder. The apparatus also includes an upper arm and an actuator. A force measurement device is coupled to the first cylinder and to the upper arm and measures the weight of the object. The actuator is operable to lower and raise the weight measurement device and the first cylinder. In some embodiments, the position of the cable with respect to the frame may be adjusted by a dampening system or a bushing. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100242831 | METHODS FOR WEIGHING A PULLED OBJECT HAVING A CHANGING WEIGHT - Methods are disclosed for pulling an object while measuring the weight of the object. The object is pulled upward using a cable extending over a first cylinder. The cable further extends over a second cylinder. The cable travels along a cable path between an uppermost portion of each of the outer circumferential portions of the first cylinder and the second cylinder. The first cylinder is restrained from movement parallel to the cable path with an arm having a first end and a second end. The first end is coupled to the first cylinder and the second end is coupled to either the second cylinder or a frame. The weight of the object is measured with a force measurement device. In some embodiments, the position of the cable with respect to the frame may be adjusted by a dampening system or a bushing. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100242836 | SYSTEMS FOR WEIGHING A PULLED OBJECT - Pulling systems are disclosed for measuring the weight of an object coupled to a first end of a cable. The cable is routed over a pulley suspended from a load cell. The force exerted by the cable on the pulley is used to calculate the weight of the object. The second end of the cable is coupled to a drum which when rotated pulls the object by wrapping the cable around the drum. An arm is coupled to the pulley at one end and to a frame at another end. A path traveled by the cable between the pulley and the drum is substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the arm. Horizontal force components are transmitted by the arm to the frame and do not affect a force component measured by the load cell, thus increasing the accuracy of the calculated weight of the object. | 09-30-2010 |

| 20100175103 | REACTIVE THROTTLING OF INBOUND MESSAGES AND RANGES - A method for throttling inbound email messages in an enterprise email system including a plurality of inbound mail servers and at least one management server is provided. Policies defining message event limits for each unique sender are applied to messaging events from the unique sender at each inbound server. Feedback from each of the inbound mail servers to the management server is provided. When events from a unique sender exceed a threshold, as determined by the management server using the feedback, an alert is generated and a new, more restrictive policy for the unique sender is created. The more restrictive policy is broadcast the more restrictive policy to each of the inbound mail servers. | 07-08-2010 |
| 20100332601 | REAL-TIME SPAM LOOK-UP SYSTEM - A system and method of managing unsolicited email sent to an email system over a network. Email messages are received at an message at an inbound mail transfer agent. A determination is made as to whether the email message is suspected to be an unsolicited suspect message. One or more queries for additional information on one or more characteristics of the message is initiated. Determinations are made based on replies to the queries before issuing a message accepted for delivery indication to a sending server. | 12-30-2010 |

| 20120061468 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TRANSACTIONAL BALLOT PROCESSING, AND BALLOT AUDITING - A voting unit and a ballot transaction processing system for processing a voting session. The voting unit includes an optical ballot scanner and a printer that is capable of printing a non-human readable barcode on ballots that are fed into the voting unit. The ballots are filled out (or cast) by the voter before being inserted into the voting unit. The voter can confirm the voting unit's interpretations of his/her selections on the scanned ballot via a display and confirm that the interpretations are correct via an input section on the voting unit. The ballot transaction processing system is also capable of generating, assigning and communicating to a plurality of voting units a set of unique transaction codes. In so doing, the ballot transaction processing system maintains voter secrecy, prevents ballot stuffing and provides a one-to-one correspondence between images of optically scanned ballots and the ballots themselves. | 03-15-2012 |
