Abstract: A sectional garage door is formed of rectangular door sections which include hollow extruded plastic rail members interconnected by hollow extruded plastic end and intermediate stile members to form a door section.   The rail members and stile members may be  fitted with  internal  tubular or channel shaped metal reinforcing members to minimize deflection of the door sections during use.  The door sections may each include an externally fitted strut which is secured to a longitudinal side edge of a section and is connected directly to  a  reinforcing member  disposed within  one  of  the  rail members without being forcibly connected to the rail member itself to allow for differential thermal expansion between the  rail member and the reinforcing members.   Rectangular panel inserts may be removably supported on each door section by removable retainer members and may include insulated panel inserts which may be added to the door sections before or after installation.

Abstract: The simultaneous synthesis of diverse organic compounds is performed in stackable modules which are moveable among nesting sites located on work station platforms.  The reactor module includes a block adapted to receive an array of tube-like reactor vessels.    The  vessels  are  sized  to  optionally  accept  porus polyethelyene mircocannisters with radio frequency transmitter tags.  Each vessel has a bottom port connected to an outlet tube.          A valve block located below the reactor vessels simultaneously controls discharge through the outlet tubes.   The valve block includes plates with aligned, relatively moveable sets of rib surfaces which act through Teflon encapsulated silicone O-ring cord sections to simultaneously close rows of outlet tubes.  By first utilizing reactor vessels in one set of 48 positions, out of the possible 52 reactor vessel positions in the reactor block, and then utilizing reactor vessels in the other set of 48 positions and shifting the relative position of the collection plate, a single reactor can be employed to discharge into all of the wells of a standard 96 well microtiter collection plate.  The apparatus can be used to perform the entire synthesis or only the final cleavage step of a radio frequency tagged synthesis.

Title: Printer sheet deskewing system with automatic variable nip lateral spacing for different sheet sizes
Inventor: RICHARDS PAUL N
IPC: B65H9/00
Filed: 2000-03-22
Granted: 2004-01-20
Abstract: A sheet handling system for correcting the skew and/or transverse position of sequential sheets, especially those moving in a process direction in a sheet transport path of a reproduction apparatus to be registered for image printing, of the type in which the deskewing and/or side registration is accomplished by partially rotating the sheet with a transversely spaced pair of differentially driven sheet steering nips. The effective range of sheet size capabilities of such systems may be increased without steering nip slippage or other problems by applying a control signal proportional to the width of the sheet to a system for automatically increasing or decreasing the transverse spacing between the pair of sheet steering nips, so as to provide a much wider spacing for larger sheets yet still be able to handle small sheets. This may be provided as shown by automatically engaging only a selected pair of steering nips out of a selectable plurality of different fixed position sheet steering nips and disengaging the others by lifting their idlers out of the sheet path with cams rotated by a stepper motor with a rotation controlled by the sheet width signal.

Abstract: [Problems] To enable production of wires of various diameters from one round rod material supplied from rough rolling step without necessity of roller change of block mills, which needs long period of time and much labor.   [Solution] In the rolling mill a mini block mill (MBM) is installed between a block mill (BM) and a sizing mill (SM) as a reducer for intermediate rolling. The block mill (BM) is so constructed that it is possible to use both the front group (BM1) and the rear group (BM2) of the rollers, or only the front group by passing the rear group with a dummy pass, or to by-pass both the front and the rear groups. The mini block mill (MBM) is shuntable from the pass line. The sizing mill is so constructed to be two sets of rollers (SM1, SM2) that either both the sets may be used, or only one of the sets (SM1) may be used and the other (SM2), by-passed. By choosing combinations of use and non-use of the rollers it is possible to produce wires of various diameters, maximum 19 different diameters, from a round rod material of one diameter.

Abstract: A radiotelephone service planning system (10) and method determines best servers in communication systems by determining an interference based communication threshold using interference information (46), such as frame error rate data, in addition to pathloss information (38) between a communication unit (22) and the plurality of other communication units (24a-24c). The radiotelephone service planning system (10) and method generates an image indicating the most probable best server of the other communication units (24a-24c) for the communication unit (22) based on the interference based communication threshold information. Also, the system utilizes variable signal threshold data (32) for a communication unit to allow flexibility in determining a best server site in view of varying threshold limits. If desired, the system can also accommodate three-dimensional best server planning by taking into account elevational variations and their effects from the perspective of both the mobile communication unit and the other communication unit.

Abstract: An exercise treadmill is disclosed which includes various features to enhance user operation and to reduce maintenance costs. These features include handlebars with an upwardly curved center section and outwardly flared side portions along with pivoting rear legs for the treadmill frame. The control panel features include snap-in user trays and an overlay covering the numerical key pad along with an auxiliary control panel having a subset of user controls that are larger and more easy to use than the same controls on the main control panel. Maintenance enhancing features include the provision for access panels in the treadmill housing and a belt lubrication system that uses a priming pulse to clear the wax spraying nozzle. For injection molded parts such as the control panel, structural strength is enhanced by utilizing gas-assist injection molding to form structural ribs.  Another feature includes pre-glazing the treadmill belt. Sound and vibration are reduced in a treadmill by mounting the treadmill belt drive motor on motor isolation mounts that include resilient members. A further feature is a double sided waxed deck where one side of the deck is covered by a protective tape.

Filed: 1999-01-22
Granted: 2010-05-11
Abstract: The present invention provides a method of making a genetically transformed plant which has an altered content of at least one product of a secondary metabolic pathway. The method consists of introducing into a plant cell capable of being transformed and regenerated to a whole plant a DNA expression cassette. The expression cassette includes DNA sequences required for transformation and selection in plant cells. It also includes a DNA sequence that, under the control of a promoter active in plant cells, encodes a protein capable of modifying the utilization of a substrate in the secondary metabolic pathway. The substrate is not a primary metabolite of the group selected from glucose, amino acids, common fatty acids and nucleotides. A plant or plant tissues including seeds can then be recovered having an altered content of at least one product of the secondary metabolic pathway. The invention also provides for feed products derived from the plants and seeds obtained according to the method.
