Patent number: 9163877Abstract: A conveyor oven is described. The conveyor oven includes a frame made of load-bearing structural members. The conveyor oven has a modular construction, with the structural members defining a rectangular prism. Blocks of insulation are placed in the frame openings, and a flexible insulating material, such as a multi-layer insulating textile, is used to cover joints between adjacent modules. Along the length of the conveyor oven, idler rollers that support the conveyor belt have ends that penetrate the sides of the oven and are supported such that the rollers can shift as the oven expands and contracts without creating openings for heat or air leakage. Air flow within the oven is managed using sets of adjustable baffle plates above and below the conveyor belt.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2012Date of Patent: October 20, 2015Assignee: Berndorf Band GmbHInventors: Oscar Lopez, Raul Esteban, James Schrader

Patent number: 8007601Abstract: A method for producing a tubular bar, more particularly a stabilizer bar, is provided. The method comprises providing a tubular bar of desired size having an outer and inner surface, heating the bar to an elevated temperature, quenching the bar by application of a cooling fluid to the surfaces of the bar, and forming the tube to a desired shape without annealing. The method further provides for the composition of a high-strength, high formability carbon steel alloy to be used in conjunction with the method. Advantageously, the bar is formable without thermal processing subsequent to quenching. In this fashion, metal tubular bars, such as stabilizer bars, may be formed at reduced cost.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2010Date of Patent: August 30, 2011Assignee: Tenaris Connections LimitedInventors: Edgardo Oscar López, Lorenzo Vito Caserta, Hernán Juan Desimone, Cuauhtémoc Martinez Salazar

Publication number: 20110145046Abstract: An advertiser distributes advertisements to a consumer. Subsequently, a computing system associated with the advertiser receives reward requests from the consumers when the consumers have consumed the advertisements and from participating merchants when the consumers perform transactions with the participating merchants. In response to receiving the reward requests, monetary rewards are credited to rewards accounts. The rewards accounts exclusively contain money from monetary rewards credited to the rewards accounts by the advertiser. The consumers are able to use money in the rewards accounts for purchases from participating merchants and non-participating merchants. By providing monetary rewards for consuming advertisements, the consumer is incentivized to consume the advertisements. In other words, the consumer is able to build a balance in the rewards account by consuming advertisements.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2009Publication date: June 16, 2011Applicant: SERDIST 21, S.L.Inventor: Oscar López Logroño
