20130189650 | BEAD AND PHOTO CRAFT AND RELATED SYSTEM AND METHOD - A method of providing a craft kit involves providing a kit including a frame with a window and a collection of beads presenting a plurality of colors and a pre-selected, fixed number of beads of each color. After providing the craft kit an image is received from a user. A bead template is generated by assigning a bead color to each of a plurality of bead positions on the template document to create a representation of the image using only beads from the collection of beads in the craft kit, and including a bead color indicator in each of said positions on the template document corresponding to the assigned bead color. Once the bead template document is created, it is transferred to the user to enable assembly of a bead array on the frame presenting the representation of the image. | 07-25-2013 |

20110024051 | Automated lamination stacking system for a transformer core former - An automated steel lamination stacking system for a transformer core. A computer controlled robot arm with a machine vision system locates each of a series of laminations formed by a core former. A hand with a pair of fingers disposed on the end of the robot arm sequentially grasps each of the laminations and transfers each lamination to a forming table which receives and shapes each lamination into a stack to form the desired transformer core. As the empty hand returns to retrieve the next lamination, an extended arm is activated to square the stack. If the preset number of laminations has been stacked and a desired weight has been reached, then the process is complete. Otherwise the stacking process continues. Because the laminations grow in size as the core is built, the stacking system adjusts the position of the fingers to grasp each lamination. | 02-03-2011 |

20150157973 | Filtration Device and Method - In one example, we describe a method and system that uses iron oxide as its sole sorbent, specifically micron-sized nano-porous iron oxide particles. The sorbent is housed inside a horizontally rotating sorbent bed. The horizontally rotating sorbent bed is housed inside of a larger secondary compartment. At the top of the secondary compartment, there is an escaped sorbent particle containment membrane. One example uses a self-cleaning horizontally rotating sorbent drum membrane design that unclogs particulates lodged in the membrane by reversing particulate air flow direction during a small portion (e.g., about 20 degrees) of each full 360 degree rotation of the drum. When air flow passes through the porous horizontally rotating sorbent drum's membrane, which occurs at the location where the rotating sorbent bed membrane comes into contact with the air feed manifold, particulates are air-dislodged from the inner facing surface of the drum's membrane. Other variations are discussed. | 06-11-2015 |
