20160016024 | Fluid Conduit Ramp - A fluid conduit ramp construction provides partitions within a low profile outer conduit to reduce weight and increase strength while having a reduced device pressure loss at high flow rates such as are required for fire-fighting circumstances where large quantities of water must be supplied across a road or thoroughfare. The fluid conduit ramp may be rigid or flexible and of sufficient width to unconditionally provide fluid conduit cross-sectional areas larger than the nominal diameter of fire hose with which it is used. The fluid conduit ramp can be quickly deployed by one or two persons requiring only a short duration of traffic interruption after which traffic flow may be resumed at higher speeds than are possible using hose bridges. | 01-21-2016 |

20090174210 | Container Assembly For A Motor Vehicle - A container assembly for a motor vehicle passenger compartment includes a housing, a door, an arm, a helical spring and a cam. The door is pivotally coupled to the housing for movement about a first pivot between a closed position wherein the door covers an opening in the housing and an open position wherein the door is pivoted about the first pivot to allow access through the opening to a storage space in the housing. The arm is pivotally coupled to the housing for movement about a second pivot. The arm has a cam surface. The helical spring continuously biases the arm toward the first pivot. The cam is coupled to the door and movable with the door about the first pivot between the closed position and the open position. The cam has a center portion and a lobe extending outwardly from the center portion. The lobe remains in contact with the cam surface of the arm. The cam surface applies a torque on one side of the lobe to bias the door toward the closed position and on an opposite side of the lobe to bias the door toward the open position. | 07-09-2009 |

20150270671 | ROTARY JOINT WITH CONTACTLESS ANNULAR ELECTRICAL CONNECTION - A rotary joint includes a contactless electrical connection that has an annular shape, not extending into a central region surrounded and defined by the annular contactless electrical connection. The annular shape of the electrical connection portions allows other uses for the central region, such as for passing an optical signal through the rotary joint. Feeds are coupled to annular waveguide structures in both halves of the rotary joint, for input and output of signals. The feeds may provide connections to the annular waveguide structures at regularly-spaced circumferential intervals around the waveguide structures, such as at about every half-wavelength of the incoming (and outgoing) signals. The annular waveguide structures propagate signals in an axial direction, parallel to the axis of rotation of the rotary joint. The signals propagate contactlessly (non-electrically-conductively) across a gap in the axial direction between the two annular waveguides. | 09-24-2015 |

20100326160 | CONTINUOUSLY SMOOTHLY ADJUSTABLE AND SELF-ALIGNING VARIABLE WIDTH ROLL FORMING APPARATUS - A roll former has a plurality of paired die assemblies spaced apart across a midline of the roll former, and a web of material is fed through the roll former along the midline for operations by the die assemblies. The spacing between each pair of die assemblies is uniformly adjustable by way of mounting the die assemblies on collector plates movable toward and away from each other by linear actuators such as jack screws. Smoothness of movement is enhanced by supporting the collector plates only on the linear actuators. Precision of positioning is enhanced by using jack screws as the linear actuators. | 12-30-2010 |
20140202225 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR METAL POSITIONING AND FORMING - A duct making apparatus includes a first station configured to accept a formable sheet material and a second station configured to receive the formable sheet material from the first station. The first station includes a mechanism for forming one of a male lock bend and a female lock seam in a leading edge of the formable sheet material. The second station includes a retractable conveyor. Movement of the sheet material from the first station to the second station defines an axis of travel of the sheet material. The retractable conveyor is selectively movable from a first position in which the retractable conveyor is in close association with the first station, and a second position in which the retractable conveyor is spaced from the first station. | 07-24-2014 |

20130085931 | SOCIAL PROXIMITY PAYMENTS - An application or App on a payer's mobile device is used to discover people known to the user and who are in close proximity to the user at the time of a payment request. Discovery can be through searching contact lists and/or social networks of the payer and/or through the payer device discovering contacts around the payer and then searching the payer's contact or social network list to see if there are any matches. These people are then shown to the user on the user device, such as with a photo, icon, name, and/or email address. The user selects desired ones, which causes requests to be sent to the selected people, such as through text, voice, or email, to the respective devices. The selected people can then easily confirm or authorize a payment be sent to the user or to a payee. | 04-04-2013 |

20090152211 | Hot water sterilization of water filtration beds - Hot Water Sterilization of Activated Carbon beds or other adsorbents in filter tanks by including an electric or steam heating coil in the tank, alternately in the gravel underdrains, or in a plenum underdrain, or in an external canister. | 06-18-2009 |
20090178555 | Pressure in line degassing process in water treatment - When water sprays into an empty tank or into the freeboard of filters, considerable flashing occurs to release about 50 to 80% of carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and other gases. The injection of air with the water enhances this degasification and produces a partial drained tank, in which it is required for the spraying or flashing to occur. When the water level reaches a low point, a switch signals for the vent to be opened and the air is stopped. But the inlet water continues to fill the tank and to displace the gasses through the vent. When the water reaches the vent, a high level switch closes the vent. Air injection starts again to repeat the cycle. Alternately, the injection of air with the influent water into a partially drained tank with a level controller and venting also effects this degasification. | 07-16-2009 |
