| 20110251709 | METHOD FOR DYNAMICALLY CONTROLLING A MANUFACTURING PROCESS USING PRODUCT OVER-DELIVERY - A method for dynamically controlling the output of a computerized manufacturing process includes storing a product target parameter in a computer memory of a computer system associated with the manufacturing process equipment. Control limit values for a product delivery statistic are provided and a product delivery parameter is continually monitored and values are stored in the computer memory. A unit product over-delivery amount is determined from the difference between the product delivery parameter and the product target parameter. A cumulative over-delivery amount is determined by summing the difference up to the current sequence number between monitored value for the previously-produced unit products and the product target parameter. A net difference is then determined between the unit product over-delivery target parameter and the cumulative over-delivery amount. A predetermined modifier is provided and the net difference is adjusted by the predetermined modifier to obtain a control limit adjustment, and the control limits are adjusted by the control limit adjustment. | 10-13-2011 |

Waste material drops, under the influence of gravity, into the tank where it is accumulated for collection. The vertically oriented solid wall does not extend fully to the top of the tank. In its initial state, the second section of the tank is filled with fresh water. A pump draws water through a hose submersed in the second section of the tank. That water is flushed into the toilet bowl to rinse waste down through the toilet bowl into the first section of the tank. As the water in the second section of the tank is depleted and flushed, the liquid waste deposited in the first section of the tank overflows the vertically oriented solid wall into the second section of the tank to recycle the liquid waste and extend the period before servicing of the system is necessary. A filter may be included between the first section of the tank and the second section of the tank to prevent solid waste from getting into the second section of the tank. The system is regularly serviced at which time both sections of the tank are emptied and a new supply of fresh water is placed in the second section of the tank. | 02-10-2011 |

The device includes a stationary base portion and a rotating cup portion which are magnetically coupled to each other. Each portion has recesses for housing magnets to create a magnetic field of attraction which firmly locks the two portions together. When rotation of the cup portion to the base portion is required, the rotation is substantially friction-free because of a thrust bearing ring set in the base portion. The cup portion is caused to rotate 45° or 90° upon being biasly urged by station locks located on the conveyor. The cup portion has an open bridge section wherein cam surfaces of the station locks can engage and cause the cup portion to rotate, which is necessary for each new procedure, whether it be inspection of the ball, pad printing of indicia and logo, or curing the printed ink with ultraviolet light. | 02-05-2009 |

Instead of automatically sending a key frame periodically to each of the clients in the video conference, a key frame is sent to one or more clients upon the occurrence of an event in the video conference. For example, a key frame may be sent to a client when the client joins the video conference. A key frame may also be sent to a client that has packet loss, upon the request of a client, a speaker change within the video conference, when a new stream is added by the client, and the like. The clients in the video conference that are not affected by the event continue to receive predicted frames. | 12-22-2011 |
| 20110316965 | COMBINING DIRECT AND ROUTED COMMUNICATION IN A VIDEO CONFERENCE - A video conference cross-links at least a portion of the clients for point to point communication while still using a video conference server. The video conference server continues to manage some aspects of the video conference for the cross-linked clients and may be configured to perform audio/video processing for some of the clients in a video conference. For example, the video conference server may perform audio/video processing and routing of streams for clients that do not have the capabilities to perform the processing directly. Clients that are able to process their audio/video needs may directly connect to other clients through cross-links while still using the video conference server for management. | 12-29-2011 |

| 20110284087 | PASSIVE OIL COLLECTION AND RECOVERY SYSTEM - A system and method for passive collection of oil from water based on a density differential. A sealed column of water is elevated above the oil/water surface within a low pressure contained volume, and oil moves upward into the contained volume displacing the water due to the lower density of the oil. Filled containers of oil are exchanged for containers of water, or oil is transferred from the filled containers. | 11-24-2011 |
