Abstract:
An automated machine for and the method of fabricating containers made from a cardboard paperboard or corrugated paperboard blank having an inner liquid holding bag secured to the inner surface of the paperboard box. The liquid holding bag includes a spout that extends through a spout opening formed in the paperboard blank. During the fabrication process the spout is utilized to precisionally locate the liquid holding bag so that when the panel of the blank with the spout opening is folded down over the spout, the spout will be properly aligned with the spout opening thus facilitating the automatic assembly of the container. In this automatic assembly process the liquid holding bag is secured to the inner surface of the container at multiple locations such that when the container is opened into its three dimensional use configuration a passage is opened for filling the bag through the spout.
Abstract:
A method and system for secure distribution and tracking of information and content of a third party via multiple social networks is described. The invention takes information and content marked to be promoted by a third party using an online application, and distributes and promotes the information to the social networks of everyone who is signed up as an ‘ambassador’ for that third party. When published, the information and content includes a personalized link associated with each ambassador to social network combination. Via the nature of social networks, this information is additionally redistributed into the users who are associated with those ambassadors in their social networks. As those users follow the personalized links back to the promoted information and content, the source ambassador to social network combination gets recorded and statistics about that user's viewing of the information and content are recorded. The online application records relevant statistics that the third party requires, and this information is then compiled into real time reports that detail the path that the promoted information and content traveled to drive users to the promoted information and content, as well as any resultant actions such as pages viewed, purchases made or items downloaded.
Abstract:
A seat assembly for use in an automotive vehicle has a seat cushion including a seat bracket, a seat back including a side bracket, a bushing having an outer ring fixedly coupled to one of the seat bracket or the side bracket, and a free pivot pivotally coupling the seat bracket to the side bracket. The bushing has a passageway extending axially through the outer ring and a plurality of flexible fingers extending inward from the outer ring into the passageway. The free pivot includes a shaft the extending axially through the passageway in the bushing with the plurality of flexible fingers frictionally engaged with the shaft.
Abstract:
A carrier is formed of foldable sheet material, the carrier being usable with a container. The container has a top, a bottom and sides, the top having a handle, and at least one of the sides having a mouth for emptying contents from the container. The carrier includes a bottom, side panels adjoined and connected to the bottom, and a handle panel formed with at least one of the side panels. The handle panel includes a first aperture for fitting over the handle on the top of the container such that at least a portion of one of the side panels of the carrier rests against a side of the container.
Abstract:
A damper assembly includes a damper frame, at least one damper blade, an actuator and a sensor module coupled to a first rotatable damper element. The one or more damper blades are movably attached to the damper frame to at least partially regulate air flow proximate the damper frame. The actuator is configured to control a position of the damper blade. The rotatable damper element is operably coupled between the actuator and the damper blade. The sensor module includes a sensor device operable to determine an air-flow induced force on the rotatable damper element.
Abstract:
A self-assembly method for circuit patterns includes generating a set of tiles, each of the tiles corresponding to a segment of molecules, the set of tiles comprising a set of rule tiles and a set of boundary tiles, each tile having one or more binding regions; assigning a label from a set of labels to each binding region; self interacting, with attractive forces, one or more of the tiles with one or more other tiles among the set of tiles; associating using selective interaction of at least one boundary tile from the set of boundary tiles with at least one rules tile from the set of rules tiles based upon at least a label from the one boundary tile and at label from the one rules tiles; and bonding at least one binding region of the one boundary tile with at least one binding region of the one rules tile.
Abstract:
According to the present invention, a fail-safe circuit for controlling an actuator is provided with an input voltage which is rectified and converted to a DC voltage. The DC voltage is boosted to a high level, and high voltage storage capacitors are charged at this high voltage level resulting in smaller, less expensive capacitors. The high voltage from the storage capacitors is then converted back to a smaller DC voltage to drive the motor of the actuator. Reduced size and increased energy storage is based on the relationship between capacitance and voltage in the equation: E=½CV2.

Abstract:
A substance container may be used for containing substances such as liquids or powders. The container assembly includes a body. A top panel of the body includes a flap that folds into the back panel of the body. A first aperture is located on the front panel to accommodate a dispensing assembly. A second aperture is also located on the top panel to accommodate a filling assembly. The filling assembly does not protrude past an uppermost plane represented by a top surface of the body.
Abstract:
A method of producing a tool insert which comprises a central metal portion having edge regions of superabrasive material bonded thereto and presenting cutting edges or points for the tool insert is disclosed. A body (50) having major surfaces on each of opposite sides thereof, each having spaced strips (64) of superabrasive material, typically abrasive compact such as PCBN or PCD, for example, separated by a metal region or regions, such as cemented carbide, is provided. Each superabrasive strip of one major surface is arranged in register with a superabrasive strip of the opposite major surface. Alternatively, each superabrasive strip extends from one major surface to the opposite major surface. The body is severed from one major surface to the opposite major surface along at least two sets of planes intersecting at or in the respective superabrasive strips to produce the tool insert.
