Abstract: A system and method are provided that allow meat logs to be manually loaded into a slicing station and thereafter be continuously automatically processed at the slicing station, a harping station, and an insertion station for automated packaging thereof without the need for handling of the meat stacks by workers. To this end, the slicing station is effective to form smaller sections or chubs from the meat logs and to do so such that the chubs are provided with substantially parallel flat end-faces to ensure that high quality meat slices are generated therefrom. The chubs are then transported to the harping station where each of the chubs undergoes a single cutting operation, thus simultaneously forming the meat slices therefrom and substantially maintaining the slices in the configuration of the chubs for generating well-formed stacks of the slices. Thereafter, the stacks are received at the insertion station where they are transferred to their packages, on an automated basis without the need for manual handling thereof. This is enabled due to the well-formed stacks generated by the harping station which allows the stacks to be dropped into the packages aligned therebelow.

Title: Method and system for redeeming product marketing rebates
Inventor: QUINLAN CHRIS
IPC: G06Q20/20
Filed: 2000-09-15
Abstract: A system and method for processing product marketing rebate claims submitted by a consumer in satisfaction of a rebate offer, the consumer having purchased designated products in a qualified transaction recorded by a point-of-sale data processing and storage system that issues a receipt containing a corresponding transaction serial number (100). The method comprises providing a designated site of a computer information network (110) and accesible by the consumer, and receiving a rebate claim on the designated site. The rebate claim comprises (i) the transaction serial number corresponding to the qualified transaction, and (ii) identifying information corresponding to the consumer. The transaction serial number and the identifying information is stored as a stored data record (130). An electronic file transfer is received from the point-of-sale data processing and storage system comprising purchase data records, each record comprising the list of products purchased and the transaction serial number for a qualified transaction in which at least one designated product was purchased (140). Each stored data record is associated with a purchase data record having an identical serial number, and the records are processed to validate the rebate claim (150). Finally, the value of the rebate offer is transferred to the consumer (160). Consumer access by the designated site may be via the global computer information network or by telephone, and may also optionally integrate paper-based and smart/credit/debit-card-based rebate claims. A system for performing the above method is also claimed, as is a method for making a rebate claim prior to or simultaneously with a purchase.

Abstract: The invention comprises a tensioner (10) that is particularly useful in micro-V front end accessory belt drive systems used in automotive applications where minimum tensioner bulk combined with maximum balancing and minimum pivot bushing (56) wear in order to achieve maximum pulley (12) alignment over the expected life of the tensioner (10). The belt tensioner (10) of the invention is of the type with a base (42). A pivot-arm (52) is attached to a cylindrical member (53) that supports the pivot-arm (52) and rotates about a pivot (32) secured to the base (42). At least one sleeve-type bushing (56) is positioned on the pivot (32) and includes a bearing surface that supports the cylindrical member (53). A pulley (12) is attached to the pivot-arm (52) for engaging the belt and receives a belt load that generates a belt force component that is transmitted to the cylindrical member (53) (hub load). A torsion spring (48) having one end connected to the base (42) and another end interconnected to a damping means (51) generates a damping force component acting in the opposite direction as the belt force component. The damping means (51) is mounted substantially between the pivot-arm (52) and the bushing (56) along a plane parallel with the pivot (32).

Abstract: In a rotating electrical machine a stator winding is formed of flexible cables (20, 22, 26) inserted in open stator in the stator core. The stator slots extend from a radially outermost yoke part of the stator core radially in-wards towards the rotor, the stator slots being separated by teeth. The stator slots are shaped as double slots with shoulders (24, 28) arranged in the slot walls in such a manner that each cable in the winding is secured between the previous cable in the stator slot and, seen from the slot opening, the next shoulder situ-ated outside that particular cable. In a method for manufacturing such a winding the first cable (20) is inserted through the opening of the stator slot and pressed firmly into a cable slot arranged at the bottom of the stator slot and designed to retain the cable when it has been pressed in, whereupon a second cable (22) is inserted through the opening of the stator slot and secured between this first cable and an opposing securing shoulder (24) in the wall of the slot, after which a third cable (26) is inserted through the opening in the stator slot and secured between said second cable (22) and a securing shoulder (28) in the slot wall opposite the second cable, and so on.
