Abstract:
Shaped articles are cut from a web by correspondingly shaped cutters on a drum cooperating with an anvil drum. The web is engaged by conveyor bands which pass around the cutter and anvil drums and form a continuing conveying path for the web away from the drums. The conveyor bands are clear of the article shapes cut in the web which can thus be positively separated from the web by pusher means to be drawn away from the web by their own conveying means.
Abstract:
A wind turbine assembly for covering wind energy into electrical energy includes a housing that is positioned adjacent to a roadway. An intake chute is integrated into the housing and the intake chute is oriented to face oncoming traffic on the roadway thereby facilitating the intake chute to direct wind produced by the oncoming traffic into the housing. A wind turbine is rotatably disposed within the intake chute such that the wind turbine is rotated by the wind produced by the oncoming traffic. A generator is positioned in the housing and the generator is in mechanical communication with the wind turbine. The generator is rotated when the wind turbine rotates to convert wind energy into electrical energy.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for managing dynamic content processing in a reverse proxy server. The reverse proxy server may include modules for handling dynamic links, invalid or incorrect HTML code, and the like, in HTTP data. The reverse proxy server may further accept user- or administrator-defined specific modules for handling HTTP data. Upon receiving the HTTP data from the host server in response to a request from a client, the reverse proxy server determines whether pre-patching module(s) or post-patching module(s) are to be executed. Depending on the determination specific modules are executed before, after, or before and after generic patching. In one embodiment, the modules may include tags for automatic starting of an application tunnel, when an application requiring an application tunnel is to be launched at a host server.
Abstract:
A method, system, apparatus and article of manufacture for producing a customized application. In a preferred method of the invention, a selection of components can be identified which are to be deployed to form the customized application. Within the selection of components, points of variability can be specified which can be assigned values when deploying the selection of components. The identified selection of components and the specified points of variability can be persisted in a template. Subsequently, the template can be processed to deploy the identified selection of components, to prompt for values to be assigned to the points of variability, and to configure the identified selection of components with the values at the points of variability thereby producing the customized application.
Abstract:
The formation of a tubular web in a form-fill process is achieved by drawing the web along a tapering guide (6) and then along a forming tube (20) the axis of which is at a small angle to the guide plate and intersects the guide. The web is drawn along the guide and tube by opposed drive rollers (24) at a station along the length of the forming tube, the rollers gripping the edges of the web together. The side margins of the web are folded over from a central portion when the web travels along the guide plate but the side edges are brought together only after they reach the forming tube. The drive rollers (24) or sealing rollers (26) further along the forming tube seal the edges together to form a closed tube.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for assembling together tags (6), thread (8) and a web of envelope material for producing tagged packets. The tags are held on spaced seats on the periphery of a rotary carrier (2) and the thread is laid over the carrier and the tags. It is formed into a convoluted shape on the peripheral surface of the carrier between the tags by laterally displaceable holding pins (12) or by being dispensed onto the carrier by a displaceable guide (50). The web is brought against the tags and thread and attached to them maintaining the convoluted pattern of the thread. The assembly of web, thread and tags is suitable for a subsequent form-filling operation to complete the packets.
