  • Patent number: 9193510
    Abstract: A system is provided for heating a comestible. The system includes a container and a flexible vented package containing a liquid, semi-solid or liquid/solid combination comestible. The package is positioned within the container in a manner that hinders the comestible from escaping through the package's vent(s). The container is penetrable to microwaves and is adapted to not experience heat-induced damage when subjected to a heating cycle in a combination microwave and convection oven. The container is adapted to protect the package from heat-induced damage when the container is subjected to a heating cycle in a combination microwave and convection oven.

  • Publication number: 20070194518
    Abstract: A plunger moves from a retracted position to an extended position to engage a document which is on a receiving platform to push the document through an opening in the receiving platform and towards a stacking platform to stack the document on the stacking platform. The plunger moves from the extended position back to the retracted position to allow a biasing force which is acting on the stacking platform to press the document which has just been stacked on the stacking platform against the receiving platform.

  • Publication number: 20030145896
    Abstract: An improved coiled air brake tubing is formed from a nylon polyurethane laminate. The laminate includes an innermost nylon layer surrounded with a thick intermediate polyurethane layer in turn covered with an outermost thin nylon layer. The polyurethane layer is fiber reinforced. The product is extruded and coiled around a heated mandril causing it to assume a coiled set. This exhibits improved low temperature properties and is less expensive than a nylon product.
