Abstract: Material processing apparatus (20) includes a housing (22) with a plurality of vertically stacked inverting pan conveyors (42, 44) therein. Each conveyor (42, 44) includes a plurality of conveyor pans (50) traveling between and around aligned front and rear sprocket pairs (90, 92) to define upper and lower conveyor runs (52, 54). Each pan (50) has a perforated base plate (56) presenting a pair of opposed material-supporting surfaces (58, 60). As the pans (50) traverse the sprocket pairs (90, 92), they are inverted, and material (110) carried by the upper run pans (50) is transferred to the lower run pans (50) by passage of the material around and/or between the sprocket pair (90).

Abstract: A product-spreading hood assembly (10) for use with a die unit (128) includes a deflector (14) having wall structure defining a product inlet opening (90) and a product outlet opening (92); the deflector (14) is preferably generally frustoconical in shape and is supported by a housing (12). An optional air delivery assembly (16) allows air currents to be directed from the area of the inlet (90) towards outlet (92) to facilitate separation of discrete products. Advantageously, the air currents are delivered in a circumferential fashion about the die unit (128). Use of the hood assembly (10) serves to separate high moisture or “sticky” extrudates, thereby preventing agglomeration thereof.

Abstract: A device aids the visual alignment of a ball on a hitch at the rear of a towing vehicle to a ball receiving socket on a tongue of a trailer. The device has a one-piece elongated member. The elongated member has a first end with a first flattened portion adjacent thereto and a second end with a second flattened portion adjacent thereto. The elongated member has a bend therein located between the two flattened portions. Two suction cups are attached to the first flattened portion of the elongated member. A mirror is attached to the second flattened portion of the elongated member. In a preferred embodiment each of the suction cups is associated with a stabilizer member.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for accessing a printing service. In one embodiment, a system and a method pertain to attempting to print to the printing service via an internal network address, and if the attempted printing fails, attempting to print to the printing service via an external network address.

Abstract: A motor includes a protector electrically connected to the windings and positioned on the coil. A rigid bracket is sized and shaped to receive the protector. A fastening system extends over the coil, bracket and the protector and compresses the bracket against the coil. The bracket inhibits transmission of the compressive force of the fastening system to the protector and thereby shields the protector from damaging force. In another configuration, a sleeve receives the protector, and the fastening system extends only over the sleeve rather than over the protector.

Abstract: An address and a file naming convention are obtained for storing data in files that are to be output with a peripheral device. A file named according to the file naming convention is written to the address having data therein that is to be output by the peripheral device. If data is detected at address by monitoring thereof, the data in the corresponding file having a file name in accordance with file naming convention is sent to the address of the peripheral device to be output there from.

Abstract: A method for presenting an image includes providing, to an image producing device, an image masking boundary that is non-rectangular in shape, and generating a masked image with the image producing device by applying the image masking boundary to an image and modifying a portion of the image that is outside the image masking boundary.
