Title: Strapping machine with automatic chute opening system
Inventor: LININGER JOSEPH E
IPC: B65B13/06
Filed: 2004-05-14
Abstract: A strapping machine configured to feed a strapping material around a load, position, tension and seal the strapping material around the load, includes a chute opening system to open a lower portion of the strap chute upon upwardly pivoting a portion of the work surface. Such a machine includes a machine frame, a work surface for supporting the load in the strapping machine, at least a portion of which is upwardly pivotal. A strap chute carries the strapping material around the load and releases the strapping material from the strap chute. The strap chute defines a strap path along the chute. The chute is movable between an operating position in which the strapping material is conveyed along the chute and a release position in which the strap chute is moved longitudinally to release the strapping material from the chute for positioning around the load. A weld head seals the strapping material onto itself. At least a portion of the weld head is disposed along the strap path below the work surface. The chute opening system is operably connected to the chute and is engageable with the upwardly pivotal portion of the work surface. The chute opening system includes a contact arm for engaging a lower surface of the work surface. The contact arm is operably connected to the chute such that upward pivoting of the work surface moves the chute from the operating position to the release position.

Title: Method for making resin bonded abrasive tools
Inventor: SIMON MARK W
IPC: C09C1/40
Filed: 2002-12-18
Abstract: A method for producing organically bonded abrasive article includes combining an abrasive grain component and a phenol-based resin component. The combined components are molded and thermally cured in an atmosphere that comprises humidity, wherein the atmosphere contacts the molded components, thereby producing the organically bonded abrasive grain. The abrasive grain optionally can first be combined with an organosilicon compound, to form organosilicon-treated abrasive grain, and then with the phenol-based resin component. In one example, the phenol-based resin is thermally cured in the presence of steam.  Abrasive articles produced by the method of the invention generally have improved properties under wet grinding conditions. In one example, an abrasive article produced by the method of the invention includes ammonia in an amount less than about 50 ppm. In another example, an abarasive grinding wheel produced by the method of the invention has a strength retention greater than about 57 percent.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a special feature is offered by a spinning reels type video slot machine, where virtual reels displayed on a video screen appear to rotate and are stopped to reveal an array of symbols. One or more of the possible symbols are special symbols. Examples of special symbols are wild cards and multipliers.  If the special symbol cannot be utilized in the current game to grant an award to the player, the special symbol is carried over into the next game. When the player spins the reels for the next game, the special symbol(s) moves (e.g., randomly) to any position in the array as the reels appear to spin. When the reels stop, the special symbol(s) carried over from the previous game is applied to the current game to grant an award to the player. In another embodiment, special symbols are not extinguished after they are used, but may continue for any selected number of games.

Title: Solid fuel combustor
Inventor: LUCZYNSKI KRIS
IPC: F23B90/06
Filed: 2005-02-08
Abstract: A solid fuel combustor in which a fuel is gasified into a producer gas and ash residue by reacting the fuel with a gasification medium supplied from an under- grate source, and in which the producer gas is further combusted either in the gasification chamber or in a secondary combustor to yield heat and a source of hot flue gas. The combustor includes a humidifier that uses a portion of the hot flue gas to vaporize water in an evaporation chamber and supplies the water vapor to the gasification medium in the under-grate source for the purpose of cooling the ash to prevent the formation of clinker.
