  • Patent number: 10106292
    Abstract: A system of packaging and displaying a set of products is disclosed. The system may include a first and second container, together forming a hinged box, each container including a first display face, and a first back positioned on a side of the container opposite the first display face. A first magnetic element and a second element magnetically responsive to the first magnetic element may be positioned in the containers to assist in closing the box. At least one of the containers includes a transparent cover that secures, even in the open position of the box, displayed products, the displayed product visible through the cover when the box is hinged open. The cover has perforations that can be torn to access the products without tools. The products are arranged in the order of use and installation.

  • Publication number: 20170350473
    Abstract: In one example, a portion of a transmission includes a first shaft, and a first gear cluster that includes a first group of coaxial nested gears that are movable in an axial direction relative to each other. The first group of coaxial nested gears includes a first gear that is fixed to the first shaft. The portion of a transmission further includes a self-centering mechanism that accommodates tolerance gaps between two successive gears of the first gear cluster.

  • Publication number: 20160088091
    Abstract: Existing synchronous communication sessions associated with a user are identified. A request to display information about the user is received. A plurality of existing synchronous communication sessions is identified. Each existing synchronous communication session includes at least one participant and is associated with a user. An affinity score for each of the plurality of synchronous communication sessions is determined based on an affinity between the user and at least one of the participants of the synchronous communication session. The plurality of existing synchronous communication sessions associated with the user is ranked based on the affinity score. An indication of a subset of the plurality of existing synchronous communication sessions is sent for display on the one more computing devices. In some embodiments, an indication of one of the existing synchronous communication sessions is sent for display on the one more computing devices.

  • Patent number: 7471030
    Abstract: A spring biasing locking mechanism is provided for a step and repeat motor. The motor includes a base having a channel, an output member in the channel, at least one translator drive element and first and second clamping elements. The spring biasing locking mechanism includes a locking structure joined to the base by a hinge. The locking structure spans both clamping elements. A spring biases the locking structure toward the channel so that the spring force is transmitted to the two clamping elements. The spring biased locking mechanism accommodates wear of the device, accommodates thermal expansion of the motor components, provides a limit on clamping force and provides a zero power hold condition.

  • Publication number: 20080005325
    Abstract: Communications provided via e-mail, instant messaging, chat, and web-based telephony applications, are monitored and restricted at a computer host. In one approach, messages from unknown or unsafe senders are intercepted and stored in a location inaccessible to all but an authorized person, until they can be reviewed by the authorized person, such as a parent. Via a user interface, the authorized user can review the messages at a later time to determine if the intended recipient, such as a child, should be able to access them. Once access is authorized, the stored messages are retrieved and provided to the recipient. In another aspect, a shared allow/block contact list identifies a user having different user names from one or more service providers. The contact list can integrate users from different services and communication modes. In another aspect, notification of monitoring is provided in the monitored messages or in newly generated messages.

  • Patent number: 7067232
    Abstract: A printing plate for computer-to plate lithography having a laser-ablatable member supported by a substrate. At least one portion of the laser-ablatable member is formed form an acrylic polymer containing laser-sensitive particles. The laser-sensitive particles absorb imaging radiation and cause the portion of the laser-ablatable member containing the laser sensitive particles and any overlying layers to be ablated.

At least one portion of the laser-ablatable member is formed form an acrylic polymer containing laser-sensitive particles. The laser-sensitive particles absorb imaging radiation and cause the portion of the laser-ablatable member containing the laser sensitive particles and any overlying layers to be ablated. Alternatively, the printing plate may include a printing member with an initial affinity for a printing fluid that changes to another affinity to printing fluid upon treatment with radiation.

  • Patent number: 6631679
    Abstract: A process for making printing plate material suitable for imaging by laser radiation. A metal substrate is electrocoated in a bath containing a polymeric resin and laser-sensitive particles, thereby depositing a laser ablatable layer on a principal surface of the metal substrate. In one embodiment, the laser-ablatable layer is treated with a corona discharge for a time sufficient to render the layer non-ink wettable. In other preferred embodiments, the laser-ablatable layer is overcoated with an overlayer such as a non-ink wettable silicone layer or a water-wettable layer comprising an organophosphorus polymer, preferably a copolymer of acrylic acid and vinylphosphonic acid.
