  • Publication number: 20170241755
    Abstract: A scent emitting dart for dispersing an olfactant in the target area without having to physically enter the target area includes an elongated, textured shaft member that has a proximal end and a distal end, a tip member which includes a weighted portion and a tip portion integral with the distal end, and a scent carrying fletching integral having a plurality of absorbent vanes adjacent to the proximal end. The absorbent vanes both extend outwardly from the circumference of the shaft member to provide aerodynamic stabilization and also extend behind the shaft member to both increase the olfactant absorption capacity of the fletching and provide an accessible point of concentration for applied olfactant. In this regard, as the olfactant is emitted from the fletching, a hunted animal can be drawn thereto.

  • Publication number: 20170085467
    Abstract: The subject matter described herein includes methods, systems, and computer readable media for advanced distribution in a link aggregation group (LAG). In some examples, a packet forwarding device includes physical ports for sending and receiving network traffic. The packet forwarding device includes one or more packet processors configured to perform LAG distribution by distributing incoming packets across active links of a first LAG formed between the packet forwarding device and one or more network devices. The incoming packets are in route to a destination device in communication with one of the network devices. The packet processors are configured, in an advanced distribution mode, to transmit a first packet of the plurality of incoming packets for the first LAG over a selected active link selected from a subset of the plurality of active links for the first LAG.

  • Patent number: 9365361
    Abstract: A transverse belt drive assembly has multiple belt drive frames spaced in a first direction and positioned between the rollers of a main conveyor which advances articles in the first direction. The belt drive frames support looped toothed belts which are advanced in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The belt drive frames are mounted to a platform which is driven on demand by an actuator to raise the belt drive frames to extend up above the roller surfaces of the main conveyor rollers causing the belts to engage articles carried on the conveyor rollers, lifting and advancing the articles in the first direction to transfer them off the conveyor rollers. Each belt has a body with converging walls and is received within a channel within a converging side wall track mounted to a belt drive frame. Rotatable bearings are mounted beneath each channel to support the belt.

  • Publication number: 20160039561
    Abstract: The present invention provides a pizza box having a lower compartment and a cover hingedly connected to the lower compartment for movement between open and closed positions, and a vented panel that is positioned in overlying relation to the upwardly facing surface of the lower compartment. The vented panel includes several holes formed therethrough. When a pizza or other food item is placed upon the vented panel and the cover is closed, any steam emanating from the food item will dissipate at least partially through the holes, and any condensation resulting from the steam will be absorbed by the lower compartment's bottom, thereby minimizing any moisture from being absorbed by the food product.

  • Patent number: 9010521
    Abstract: An elevating conveyor is mounted to a pivoting bridge so that the elevating conveyor can be shifted by a 22 degree rotation between a lowered position in engagement with a loading floor and an elevated storage position where the conveyor is out of the way of the loading floor. A counterweight arrangement is mounted to the bridge to bias the conveyor toward the loading floor when it is in a lowered position, and to bias it toward the elevated storage position when it is in the up position. The conveyor may be readily moved between the positions with a moderate application of force. The force may be applied by an operator standing on the loading floor or by a liner actuator mounted between the bridge and a fixed structure.
