Title: Modularized horizontal blind set
Inventor: LEE HAN-SEN
IPC: E06B9/303
Filed: 2002-07-10
Granted: 2006-01-10
Abstract: A modularized horizontal blind set provides a configuration which is easily modifiable, reduces inventory costs and waste. The only ultimate waste created from the modularized horizontal blind set is the trimming of ladder and elevation string or cord during assembly of a cord and louver assembly to a channel and component assembly. A cord and louver assembly, includes a base slat, a series of slats inserted into a ladder cord, and a set of elevation cords strung through the slats, with the ladder cord and elevation cords preferably properly tied off to enable a rapid layout and interconnect with a selected channel member. In forming a custom sized assembly, workers can utilize a chart based upon the vertical height of the top channel, and the spacing of the ladder chord.

Abstract: A vehicle suspension assembly includes a shock absorber that provides variable damping dependent on the load conditions of the vehicle. A central rod of the shock absorber includes a central bore that is fluidly coupled with air pressure within air springs of the suspension assembly. As the vehicle load increases and the pressure within the air springs increases, a damping adjustment assembly within the shock absorber increases the stiffness or damping of the shock absorber. In one example, a plunger moves within the central bore in the rod between a first position where less damping is provided and a second position where increased damping is achieved. A unique adapter member facilitates using a rod of appropriate size to achieve the desired air pressure conditions within the rod, while at the same time supporting conventional piston and disc valve components and providing enough material strength to withstand the tensile loads experienced under full extension. The adapter also includes a check valve to control fluid flow and provides a hydraulic cushion feature.

Abstract: An antenna system can generate RF radiation fields having dual simultaneous polarization states and having substantially rotationally symmetric radiation patterns. The antenna system generates RF radiation patterns where the beamwidths of respective RF fields for respective radiating elements are substantially equal and are relatively large despite the compact, physical size of the antenna system. The antenna system can include one or more patch radiators and a non-resonant patch separated from each other by an air dielectric and by relatively small spacer elements. The patch radiators and non-resonant patch can have predefined shapes for increasing polarization discrimination. The lower patch radiators can be mounted to a printed circuit board that can include an RF feed network and a ground plane which defines a plurality of symmetrically, shaped slots. The slots within the ground plane of the printed circuit board can be excited by stubs that are part of the feed network of the printed circuit board. The slots, in turn, can establish a transverse magnetic mode of RF radiation in a cavity which is disposed adjacent to the ground plane of the printed circuit board and a ground plane of the antenna system. The feed network of the printed circuit board can be aligned with portions of the cavity such that the portions of the cavity function as a heat sink for absorbing or receiving thermal energy produced by the feed network.

Abstract: Powder overspray that is extracted from a spray booth is recovered back to a powder supply that is used to supply powder to the spray guns (20) inside the spray booth. The powder overspray extracted from the booth is separated (42) from the high flow air stream by a separator such as a cyclone (42) separator.  The powder falls into a transfer pan (314) and a vacuum is used to convey the powder from the transfer pan (314) to a vacuum receiver (320). The powder is then discharged to the feed hopper (310) in the feed center (46). The use of a vacuum to convey powder from the cyclone (42) to the feed center in effect permits substantially all of the powder overspray to be recovered from the spray booth directly to the feed hopper (310) with minimal dwell or residence time within the cyclone or vacuum receiver (320) subsystems during a spraying operation. The receiver (320) can be rotated for easy cleaning, and the vacuum line cleaned by one or more cleaning elements drawn through the vacuum line.
