| 20100326473 | SYSTEM FOR CLEANING COMPONENTS FOR FILLING HOLES IN A PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD WITH A FLUID FILL MATERIAL - A method for cleaning components of a system for filling holes in a printed circuit board with a fluid fill material includes removing the components being a dispensing head and a manifold connected to the dispensing head preferably as a single unit. The single unit is retained in that format. Excess fluid material from the dispensing head and manifold is evacuated preferably by passing air through the dispensing head and manifold. Then the dispensing head and manifold is placed in a cleaning tub, and the manifold is attached to a solvent pump line. The dispensing head and manifold is flushed with a flow of solvent from the solvent pump line; and excess solvent from the dispensing head and manifold is evacuated, by passing air through the dispensing head and manifold. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20100326566 | SYSTEM FOR FILLING HOLES IN A PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD WITH A FLUID FILL MATERIAL - There is a system for filling holes in a printed circuit board with a fluid fill material. The system receives a printed circuit board vertically within a main body. There is a dispensing head for selectively dispensing a fill material onto the vertically placed circuit board, the dispensing head having a plurality of holes. A feeding reservoir contains the fill material, and the feeding reservoir has a first end and a second end. An outlet system comprises a flow line connected to the first end of the feeding reservoir, and the flow line provides a flow path for the fill material from the first end of the feeding reservoir to the dispensing head. The flow line is attached to a manifold connected to the dispensing head, the manifold including connectors between the branches and with the absence of 90° elbows in the flow path. There is a plunger located at the second end of the feeding reservoir; and an air cylinder pushes the plunger into the feeding reservoir, thereby forcing the fill material out of the first end of the feeding reservoir, through the outlet system, and into the dispensing head. | 12-30-2010 |

| 20090029330 | Toddler Device - A toddler device according to the present invention includes a base having a generally planar upper surface and defining a plurality of receiving holes. Further, the toddler device includes a set of posts, each post having an upper end and a lower end with a configuration complementary to a configuration of at least one of the receiving holes. Each post is padded, may include a liquid resistant surface, and is supported in a vertical configuration when received in a respective receiving hole. In addition, an entertainment element is coupled to respective post upper ends for interesting a toddler and encouraging the toddler to stand. | 01-29-2009 |

| 20100260397 | MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING WITH FAT SUPPRESSION - A three-dimensional projection reconstruction pulse sequence acquires two half echoes in a steady state free precession (SSFP) scan. A method for combining the two echoes to suppress either fat or water in the reconstructed image is described and includes shifting the phase of one echo and combining them in a regridding process used to transform the radial data to a Cartesian grid prior to image reconstruction. Images having either fat or water substantially suppressed are then produced by applying a phase difference mask to images reconstructed from the regridded data. These images are then further processed using information of the phase differences between the two half echoes. In this manner, more consistent and accurate suppression is achieved. | 10-14-2010 |

| 20100284633 | Discrete pouch having a closure system secured thereto - A discrete pouch is disclosed having a closure system transversely secured across an open end thereof. The discrete pouch includes first and second major surfaces joined together by a pair of sides. The discrete pouch also has a closed bottom, an open top, and a closure system secured to the second major surface adjacent to the open top. The discrete pouch is designed to have the open top sealed after it is filled with products and the closure system is capable of being opened and closed multiple times. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20100285942 | Machine for securing a closure system onto a discrete pouch - A machine is disclosed for securing a closure system onto a discrete pouch. The machine includes first, second and third stations. The first station is capable of advancing discrete pouches and lifting and folding a portion of a first major surface of each pouch upon itself to form a lip, and exposing an inner surface of a second major surface. The second station is capable of positioning and attaching a closure system transversely across the exposed inner surface. The closure system includes a track having first and second legs each having an outer surface. The first and second legs are joined together by an opening/closing mechanism which includes a movable member capable of being moved back and forth. The third station is located downstream from the second station and is capable of unfolding the lip and securing opposite ends of the lip to the outer surface of the second leg. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20100285943 | In-line method for securing a closure system onto a discrete pouch - An in-line method is disclosed for securing a closure system onto a discrete pouch. The method includes advancing a discrete pouch through a first station in a machine direction with the closed bottom of the pouch being the leading edge and a first major surface of the pouch faces upward. The first major surface is folded upon itself to form a lip having an exposed first surface while a second major surface of the pouch has an exposed inner surface. The method also includes routing the pouch to a second station where a closure system is transversely attached across the exposed inner surface. The closure system includes an opening/closing mechanism. The method further includes routing the pouch to a third station where the lip is unfolded and opposite ends of the lip are secured to the outer surface of the closure system. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20100331158 | Method and Apparatus For Applying Closures To Pouches - A method and machine for applying a closure to a series of pouches includes a conveyor extending at least partially through the machine, first and second (optional) infeed modules, a culling module (optional), a replacement infeed module (optional) and a closure module (optional). The infeed modules feed pouches to the conveyor. The culling module includes a sensor that senses an undesired pouch in the series of pouches, and a rejection module that culls the undesired pouch in response thereto. The replacement infeed module feeds a replacement pouch into the gap left by the undesired pouch. The conveyor may be at least partially an intermittent conveyor. The infeed modules may be in a plane with the conveyor. The closure module may be a recloseable closure module, a zipper closure module or a slider closure module. The culling module may be part of each infeed module, and/or distributed over several locations. | 12-30-2010 |

| 20100227936 | TREATMENT OF MICROBIAL INFECTIONS WITH COMPOUNDS THAT INHIBIT 4-HYDROXYPHENYLPYRUVATE DIOXYGENASE - Methods of inhibiting phagolysosomal fusion in patients infected with a microorganism involve the administration of a 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD)-inhibiting compound, such as 2-(2-nitro-4-trifluoromethylbenzoyl)-1,3-cyclohexanedione (NTBC) to the patient. A HPPD-inhibiting compound administered in an amount effective to enhance phagolysosomal fusion in the macrophages or neutrophils of the patient reduces or treats the infection. Methods for treating bacterial infections by administering a HPPD-inhibiting compound and reducing the production of pyomelanin or melanin in microorganisms are disclosed. | 09-09-2010 |
