  • Publication number: 20200311681
    Abstract: A workflow system includes a workflow database. The workflow database may convert proposals or bids into a workflow process. The workflow process may involve one or more tasks which are performed by resources. The workflow database may have access to systems, or provide a system to interface with resources, contractors, vendors, billing departments, and generate reports of workflow process.

  • Publication number: 20100212690
    Abstract: A cleaning device including a mel amine sponge is employed for use in a floor scrubbing machine for cleaning uncoated, stone floors. A backing material is secured to the melamine sponge and a non-woven fabric is secured to the backing material which in turn is engaged by the driver block of the machine. The cleaning device in conjunction with the floor scrubbing machine is capable of removing dirt and scuff marks from stone floors using only water as the cleaning agent.

  • Patent number: 6593997
    Abstract: A stage assembly (10) for moving and positioning a device (26) is provided herein. The stage assembly (10) includes a stage base (12), a stage (14), a stage mover assembly (16), and a reaction assembly (18). The stage mover assembly (16) moves the stage (14) along an X axis and along a Y axis relative to the stage base (12). The reaction assembly (18) is coupled to the stage mover assembly (16). Uniquely, the reaction assembly (18) counteracts and reduces the reaction forces created by the stage mover assembly (16) in two degrees of freedom that are transferred to a reaction base (102). With this design, stage mover assembly (16) has less influence upon the position of the stage base (12). These features allow for more accurate positioning of the device (26) by the stage assembly (10) and better performance of the stage assembly (10).

  • Patent number: 6241347
    Abstract: An inkjet printing system having a replaceable set of ink-related components which are installed together and replaced together with a single ink delivery system for each different color of ink. The set includes an ink printhead with an inlet port, an ink supply module, and a printhead service module, each of which is manually mountable by a user onto an inkjet printer. The ink supply module contains enough ink to completely replenish an entire printhead reservoir several times before the expected useful life of the printhead has expired, at which time a user can replace the entire set of ink-related components for a particular color. Similarly, the printhead service module is designed for reliable performance for the expected useful life of the printhead. This system enables the entire ink delivery system to be replaced for different printing needs, such as replacing indoor dye-based inks with outdoor pigment based inks.
