| 20110114510 | Method and Apparatus for Removing Impurities from a Liquid - A method and system for purifying liquid is disclosed that includes combining powdered metal particles with the fluid to be treated. The mixture of powdered metal particles or metal and liquid to be treated is then passed through an electrolytic cell. The cell forms multivalent ions which attach to contaminants in the liquid and are subsequently separated out from the liquid using conventional solid/liquid separation techniques. The multivalent ions may also be formed from thin strips of aluminum or formed by pressing layers of powdered metallic particles together and installing in the electrolytic cell between two cathodes, the powdered metal electrode being the anode. | 05-19-2011 |

| 20100326459 | BANDEAU-NI HAIR SUPPORT DEVICE AND HEADBAND - A hair device used to decorate hair or to hold hair in a fixed position. The hair device of the present invention includes a cloth or other suitable wrapping material wrapped around the head with an opening sufficient through which hair may pass unobstructed with or without additional hair supports (the “Bandeau-Ni Hair Device.”) The structure of this device reduces the risk of hair slipping out of traditional hair holders and allows the user to wear helmets or other head coverings without disturbing the holding and/or placement of the hair through the opening. Further, the Bandeau-Ni Hair Device allows for a more natural play during sports and motorcycle riding while providing a decorative flare capable of maintaining the pony tail appearance. | 12-30-2010 |

| 20090084716 | Method and System for Weighing Mail Pieces - A method and system is described for determining the physical weights of flat articles being sorted without actually weighing the articles. Such a method includes the steps of; receiving volume information for individual flat articles from sensors, comparing that resultant data to classifiers stored in computer memory, and assigning a weight value associated to the physical flat article. | 04-02-2009 |
| 20090230031 | Method and system for sorting of extended capability mail - A method for sorting flat mail pieces includes the steps of; sorting automation letters on the first pass of a two pass operation, then sorting extended capability letters after all automation mail has been sorted on pass one of a two pass operation. A control system identifies which pieces are automation and which pieces are extended capability (EC) mail during the first pass and re-feeding the mixed letters in a second pass. | 09-17-2009 |
| 20110014023 | Method and apparatus for transporting mail - A method for transporting sorted mail includes steps sorting flat mail pieces from a sorting machine into a series of bins mounted on a rack; removing the series of bins from the rack toto shelves of an extraction cart; moving the loaded cart onto a delivery vehicle; removing the bins from the cart into positions for delivery; removing the mail from the bins and delivering the mail to the recipient. | 01-20-2011 |
| 20110060662 | METHODS FOR PACKAGING PRODUCTS FOR MAILING - Methods for packaging products for mailing A method includes receiving an order for a product by a manufacturer and from a customer, the product having an associated retail packaging that cannot be sorted using letter and flats sorting equipment. The method includes packaging the product by a manufacturer in a non-retail packaging that can be sorted using automated postal sorting equipment. The method includes, in response to the order, addressing the package to a recipient by the manufacturer using printing equipment, and delivering the packaged product to a postal system for delivery to the recipient. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20110150622 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSPORTING MAIL - A method for mail handling, and a mail extraction cart. The mail extraction cart has a chassis formed by a wheeled base supporting a pair of lower support members and a pair up upper support members connected to the lower support members. The cart has a column of support shelves between each of the pair of upper support members and each of the pair of lower support members, the support shelves movable between at least a first position and a second position. The cart has a lever to control the position of the support shelves. In the first position, the support shelves are configured to engage a plurality of bins of a sorting machine. In the second position, the support shelves are configured to remove the plurality of bins from the sorting machine to be carried by the mail extraction cart. | 06-23-2011 |
