20100287991 | PREVENTING GAS FROM OCCUPYING A SPRAY NOZZLE USED IN A PROCESS OF SCORING A HOT GLASS SHEET - A spray nozzle is used in a process of quenching a hot glass sheet during a laser scoring process or other high energy glass heating process. The scoring is conducted by a high energy means such as a laser. The nozzle is located in proximity to the glass sheet, creating gas in liquid used to quench the glass located in the nozzle (e.g., water). The gas (e.g., air bubbles) is removed from the quenching liquid. Then, the spray nozzle is used to spray the quenching liquid onto the sheet at a location trailing laser scoring of the sheet, such as using a traveling anvil machine at the bottom of the draw. The spray nozzle (purge nozzle) has a purge opening and tubing leading to a discharge location. The purge nozzle can have a sloped passageway that pre-stages gas bubbles near the purge opening in the nozzle. The spray nozzle can include a cooling coil passing around the nozzle passageway that enables a coolant to travel along the coil. This cools the quenching liquid passing through the nozzle, and increases the solubility of bubbles in the quenching liquid in the nozzle. A gas filter can receive gas-rich quenching liquid from the pressurized quenching liquid source, remove gas from the liquid, and send gas-depleted quenching liquid to the spray nozzle. | 11-18-2010 |

20120000432 | BEHAVIOR-CORRECTING ANIMAL LEASH - An adjustable animal harness designed to apply pressure to an animal's body and tug at its collar when it pulls against its leash, inducing the animal to exhibit good behavior when being walked. The harness attaches to an animal collar via an adjustable strap designed to accommodate animals of different sizes. The adjustable strap has a ring on one end to which a second strap is also attached. The second strap wraps around the body of the animal and is passed through the ring. On the other end of the second strap is a smaller ring which can pass through the larger ring. When wrapped around the body of an animal and passed through the larger ring, a leash can attach to the second strap via the smaller ring. The harness tightens around an animal's body and tugs at its collar when the animal pulls against the leash. As the animal pulls against the leash with more exertion, the harness becomes tighter around its body and more resistance is applied to its collar. | 01-05-2012 |
