  • Patent number: 9409721
    Abstract: A wear-indicating conveyor track including an upper surface configured to interface with a moveable conveyor and one or more indicators disposed on or in at least the upper surface of the track. The one or more indicators can be configured to be substantially obscured by a conveyor placed on the track upon initial use, and the one or more indicators can be configured to be substantially unobscured by the conveyor when the conveyor is moving relative to the track and the track is in need of repair or replacement.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20110292802
    Abstract: Systems and methods for automatic throttling of resources in an information handling system are disclosed. A method may include determining whether a first throttling condition exists, the first throttling condition existing when a chassis management controller fails to communicate a clock or synchronization signal to one or more devices in an information handling system chassis for a particular duration of time. The method may also include determining whether a second throttling condition exists, the second throttling condition existing when the chassis management controller fails to communicate data to one or more devices in the information system handling chassis. The method may further include throttling a resource in the information handling system chassis if at least one of the first throttling condition and the second throttling condition exists.

  • Patent number: 7424862
    Abstract: An apparatus comprising a first pivot, a second pivot, a first pole, a second pole and a fabric portion. The first pivot may have a first insert and a second insert. The second pivot may have a third insert and a fourth insert. The first pole may have a first end connected to one of the first or second inserts and a second end connected to one of the third or fourth inserts. The second pole may have a first end connected to the other of the first or second inserts and a second end connected to the other of the third or fourth inserts. The poles may be arranged to create a gap between the first and second pivots. The fabric portion may be connected between the poles to cover the gap.

  • Patent number: 6623263
    Abstract: A variable speed powder compacting press includes a generally horizontal table with a powder compacting die cavity defined in the table. A movable compacting punch is disposed in the die cavity and can move upwardly towards the die cavity opening to compact powder disposed in the cavity. A sliding anvil is disposed on the horizontal table and has a powder dispensing portion, a compacting portion, and a pick up portion. The anvil is movable between a filling position wherein the dispensing portion is above the cavity, a compacting position wherein the compacting portion is above the cavity, and a pick up position wherein the pick up position is above the cavity. A rotary drive operates to move the compacting punch and the sliding anvil in a coordinated manner. A safety cover can cover a portion of the table and the sliding anvil during operation of the machine. An interlock determines if the safety cover is in a closed position.
