  • Patent number: 10362138
    Abstract: Electronic communications are managed across multiple identities. A user is able to create an account as well as any desired, required, or appropriate number of profiles under the account. Text messages are exchanged between users using specific profiles. For example, some text messages can be exchanged using a personal profile while other text messages need to be exchanged using a professional profile. In some instances, exchanged text messages are saved to a centralized archive. As such, one or both of the users involved in an exchange can request to retrieve some or all of the exchanged messages at a later time.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4744741
    Abstract: A molding apparatus for making a plastics pipe fitting or pipe coupling by injection-molding the plastics pipe fitting or coupling body, injection-molding at least one sealing ring separately but substantially simultaneously, and bringing the body and sealing ring together directly after the molding while these components are still in a hot as-molded state, so that a direct thermal bond is formed between them comprises respective injection-molding cavities for the body and sealing ring, and a reversible support for carrying the sealing ring out of its mold and into contact with the molded body. The respective molds are opened and the components are not stripped but are brought together for bonding while still in position on respective mold members, thereby eliminating intermediate handling and ensuring that the molded components remain clean and of accurate shape and dimension as they are brought together.

  • Patent number: 4457662
    Abstract: Lead frames with semiconductor microcircuit chips bonded thereto are automatically rapidly precisely loaded onto loading frames for subsequent encapsulation of the chips. The lead frames are contained within magazines, each lead frame resting on a separate rack therewithin. An air-actuated piston causes a plurality of pusher bars to each eject a lead frame from each of a plurality of the magazines, horizontally disposed, onto a nest member which pivots to invert the lead frames ejected thereon onto the loading frame. The lead frames are precisely positioned on the nest member early in the pivot thereof when the lead frame are caused to slide downwardly on the smooth-surfaced nest member to thereby contact an abutment and to be retained in that precise position by vacuum until deposited on the loading frame.
