Abstract: Systems and methods for capturing and managing information from a plurality of individual items sold in a commercial transaction between a consumer and a merchant can include capturing, at a point-of-sale, transactional data for the a plurality of individual items sold during the transaction. The transactional data can include item identification information for each of the a plurality of individual items sold. The transactional data can further be used to authorize the transaction.

Abstract: A method of producing an endless belt includes the steps of: securing axial fibers relative to a mandrel, the axial fibers being spaced apart from one another at desired intervals and extending substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the mandrel; applying a polymeric base layer to the mandrel in a thickness sufficient to embed the axial fibers; wrapping circumferential fibers onto the polymeric base layer with sufficient tension to partially embed the circumferential fibers in the polymeric base layer; applying a polymeric top stock layer over the polymeric base layer and circumferential fibers; and curing the base layer and the top stock layer. This method can improve productivity and performance of endless belts, particularly if the wrapping and latter applying steps closely follow the first applying step.

Abstract: A process for forming a cover for an industrial roll includes the steps of: providing an elongate cylindrical core having a longitudinal axis; rotating the core about the longitudinal axis; providing a nozzle movable along a nozzle path that is substantially parallel to and above the core longitudinal axis, the nozzle having at least an upstream outlet and a downstream outlet, the nozzle outlets being longitudinally offset a distance from each other; and applying multiple strips of polymeric material to the core through the nozzle outlets as the nozzle moves along the nozzle path such that the downstream strip forms an overlapping spiral inner layer and the upstream strip forms an overlapping spiral outer layer that overlies the inner layer, the inner and outer layers being adhered with the core.

Abstract: A process for forming a belt for a press, such as a shoe press belt, includes the steps of: providing an elongate cylindrical core having a longitudinal axis; rotating the core about the longitudinal axis; providing a nozzle movable along a nozzle path that is substantially parallel to and above the core longitudinal axis, the nozzle having at least an upstream outlet and a downstream outlet, the nozzle outlets being longitudinally offset a distance from each other; and applying multiple strips of polymeric material to the core through the nozzle outlets as the nozzle moves along the nozzle path such that the downstream strip forms an overlapping spiral inner layer and the upstream strip forms an overlapping spiral outer layer that overlies the inner layer.

Abstract: An expandable modular enclosure which allows substantial increase in the available interior size. An expanding floor section is provided within the enclosure assembly and extensible retractable modules are provided to extend laterally outwardly from the enclosure and supported in the extended mode by cantilever support arrangements which are movable on bearing assemblies to allow the extension and retraction of the modular segments.
