Title: Method and apparatus for strengthening glass
Inventor: LACOURSE WILLIAM
IPC: C03C21/00
Filed: 2004-03-31
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for strengthening glass. A  method according to one aspect of the invention strengthens glass by applying potassium ions to the surface of a glass article with the surface being at least the annealing point temperature of the glass and then keeping the temperature of the glass between the strain point temperature of the glass and about 150~C below the strain point temperature for at least about five minutes to facilitate a more efficient ion-exchange reaction. In one embodiment, the glass articles may be dipped in a salt bath to apply the ions. In an alternative embodiment, the glass articles may be sprayed with molten potassium salt to apply the ions. As a result of the methods of the invention, the treated glass articles may be strengthened by having an increased surface stress or may contain less glass with no change in strength as compared to the same untreated glass article.

Title: Appareil de retenue et d'inclinaison d'outil
Inventor: OLSEN JOHN H
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 2004-10-12
Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil conçu pour retenir et incliner un outil selon une certaine plage d'inclinaison et sensiblement autour d'un vertex. Ledit appareil comporte une base dont les pivots définissent une ligne de base et une distance de pivot de base. Il comporte également un premier et un second bras de pivot couplés aux pivots de base, et un porte-outil dont les pivots sont couplés aux premier et second bras de pivots. Les pivots du porte-outil définissent une ligne de porte-outil dont la distance de pivot diffère de celle du pivot de base. Le porte-outil est conçu pour retenir la machine-outil. Une intersection de la ligne de base et d'un bras de pivot choisi définit un angle de commande, de sorte que le changement de l'angle de commande modifie une inclinaison du porte-outil par rapport à la ligne de base, et incline ainsi un axe longitudinal de l'outil sensiblement autour d'un vertex.

Title: Ink cartrige and ink supplier
Inventor: KAKUTANI TOSHIAKI
IPC: B41J2/175
Filed: 2000-03-27
Abstract: A technique of the present invention uses dark yellow (DY) ink, in addition to a plurality of conventionally used basic color inks including cyan (C) ink, magenta (M) ink, and yellow (Y) ink. The technique may cause a printer to create dots with the DY ink, in place of creation of dots with the Y, C, and M inks. This arrangement enhances the degree of freedom in specification of dot on-off conditions of the respective inks, and relieves the restriction of ink duty, thereby enabling a resulting printed image to have higher picture quality.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for tracking the nesting of delivery items can include using a passive RFID-type or an auto-detection type communication device to determine which mail handler picks up a particular tray from a location, such as the end of a conveyor system. When the mail handler places the tray in a container, another RFID-type device can be used to detect into which container the mail handler placed the tray. This information may then be passively and/or wirelessly transmitted to an application server that may store the information in a database to verify and validate, in real time, that the tray was placed into the correct container. These methods and systems are equally applicable to other nesting environments, including for example, the placing of containers into transportation vehicles.
