Title: Process for three-dimensional modeling and design of off-highway dump bodies
Inventor: BRINKMAN PHILIP T
IPC: B62D65/16
Filed: 2000-06-13
Abstract: A method of loading material into a dump body of a truck using a loading bucket whose sidewalls are spaced relatively wider than conventional dump bodies of similar volumetric capacity is disclosed. The method involves filling the loading bucket with ati amount of earthen material, where the loading bucket has a volumetric capacity that is approximately 1/4 or more than a volumetric capacity of the dump body.  The loading bucket is positioned over the dump body so that the loading bucket is approximately centered over a floor of the body. The bucket is lowered to a position that allows a swinging door of the loading bucket when opened to (1) release the earthen material and clear the floor of the dump body and (2) hit the sidewalls of the dump body if the loading bucket is moved off center over the floor. The swinging door is freed so as to open the bucket and allow the material held in the bucket to drop into the dump body, whereby the door swings open and clears both the sidewalls and the floor of the dump body while minimizing the height from which the material is dropped from the bucket.

Abstract: A production machine for producing a heat source rod comprising a rod-like extrusion-molded item composed of a flammable material and having a plurality of axial grooves in the outer peripheral surface thereof, and a thermal insulation web wrapping the extrusion-molded item. The production machine is provided with a unit (10) for jetting water to the thermal insulation web (W) in the process of feeding the thermal insulation web (W) to a lapping section (4). The jet unit (10) comprises an air vibrator (12) provided with a vibration rod (34) and a flexible nozzle (36) extending through the vibration rod (34), fixed to it, and supplied with water from a metering pump (42). When the thermal insulating web (W) is being fed, water is jetted toward the thermal insulation web (W) from the forward end of the flexible nozzle (36) while the flexible nozzle (36) is reciprocating in the width direction of the thermal insulation web (W) through vibration of the vibration rod (34). Jetted water dissolves the binder of the thermal insulation fibers in the thermal insulation web to form a wet band (H) of wave shape continuous in the longitudinal direction of the thermal insulation web (W), thus providing an adhesive area for the extrusion-molded item.

Title: Corner or edge protector exhibiting improved flexural strength and resistance properties
Inventor: KRUELLE JOHN
IPC: B65D81/05
Filed: 2006-04-10
Abstract: A new and improved external corner protector is fabricated from predetermined materials and comprises a vertex portion (112), and a pair of leg members (114, 116) which diverge outwardly at a predetermined included angle with respect to each other from the vertex portion. The vertex portion and distal end portions of the leg members have relatively enlarged cross-sectional dimensions relative to the cross-sectional dimensions comprising those portions of the leg members which integrally interconnect the distal end portions of the leg members to the vertex portion, wherein the relatively enlarged cross-sectional dimensions serve to reinforce the vertex portion and to dispose only such relatively enlarged distal end portions of the leg members into contact with the external side wall members of the palletized load which define the external corner region being protected. In this manner, the leg members of the external corner protector are flexed more than has conventionally been the case such that forces are generated and transmitted to the vertex portion so as to rigidify the same whereby the vertex portion will exhibit enhanced flexural strength and bending resistance properties with respect to external forces which may be impressed upon the external corner protector thereby tending to flex or bend the same.

Abstract: One aspect of the specification is the use of a virtual entity to represent the bandwidth bottleneck point in a network. Areas of the network where bandwidt h does not need to be managed can be modeled as zones. This model enables more flexibility a s the virtual bottleneck point can represent a collection of components (e.g. routers), or a portion of a real component (e.g. a router could be represented by multiple virtual bottleneck points with different purposes.) This model can also allow a user to decide which points in their network should be managed, independent of the underlying data network infrastructure. These virtual entities can be placed between areas of the network, and configured with specific policie s. Bandwidth usage across these virtual entities can be tracked and compared to the configured bandwidth limit available to the application at each bottleneck point. When the bandwidth available at the bottleneck point is fully utilized, additional calls can be blocked or rerouted. Policies can be applied to permit certain calls to proceed despite the fact that bandwidth i s fully utilized, or to block certain calls when bandwidth usage is approaching the maximum level. Bandwidth management can be distributed or centralized with information shared throughout a distributed network.
