Patent number: 7220439Abstract: A method and system for altering the interaction of wine ingredients to obtain changes in wine resembling many years of natural aging, a more complete homogenous solution, and an extended shelf life. The method includes application of ultrasonic radiation to a solution containing wine ingredients at a frequency causing cavitation, optimizing the application of ultrasonic radiation to cause cavitation throughout the solution, and continuing the application of the ultrasonic radiation for a duration sufficient for the cavitation to produce a consumable wine product. The system provided implements the described method.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2005Date of Patent: May 22, 2007Inventors: Charles G. Leonhardt, James A. Morabito

Patent number: 6862871Abstract: A carriage device for a string trimmer includes an axle frame supporting at least two wheels. A main frame includes an axle mounting section for adjustably securing the axle frame and a shaft receiving section shaped to receive the shaft of a string trimmer. The axle mounting section includes a plurality of connecting areas for selectively adjusting a height of the axle frame. Additionally, the axle frame is preferably laterally adjustable relative to the main frame. Alternative arrangements of the main frame enable the axle frame to be rotationally adjusted relative to the string trimmer. Additionally, the carriage device is particularly suited for a mulcher system and can be readily adapted to support a sizable DC battery for cordless operation of an electric string trimmer. The device enables multi-functioning of a string trimmer including mowing, edging, blowing, mulching, etc.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2002Date of Patent: March 8, 2005Inventors: Vincent D. Morabit, Christopher James Morabito

Patent number: 5464317Abstract: A power stacker provides for receiving lengthwise orientated envelopes projected longitudinally onto the power stacker at a receiving end of the power stacker from an envelope feed device. The power stacker has a base supporting both an elongated deck and registration wall, an envelope transport system for transporting envelopes along the deck from the receiving end to a stack end of the deck. The transport system includes a plurality of friction belts extending partly along the deck and a power stack wheel pivotally mounted to the registration wall. An upper deflection flap at having one end pivotally mounted to the registration wall at the receiving end of the deck at a vertical elevation above that of the longitudinal feed level of the feed device, the upper deflection flap to contact the deck at it other end at a predetermined nominal angle forward of the power stack wheel.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 1994Date of Patent: November 7, 1995Assignee: Pitney Bowes Inc.Inventors: Dean H. Foster, Russell W. Holbrook, James Morabito, Morton Silverberg, Steven A. Supron

Patent number: 5421699Abstract: Apparatus and a method for merging vertically oriented documents with horizontally oriented documents. The apparatus includes: a document assembler for receiving vertically oriented documents, the document assembler having a pair of parallel paper paths, wherein each of the paper paths includes a device for transporting the vertically oriented documents and a device for stopping and a device for aligning the vertically oriented documents; a device located beneath the document assembler for re-orienting the documents from the document assembler in a vertical orientation to a horizontal orientation; and a horizontal transport located beneath the re-orienting device for feeding horizontally oriented documents toward the re-oriented documents emerging from the re-orienting device, whereby the horizontally oriented documents are merged with the re-oriented documents from the document assembler.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 1994Date of Patent: June 6, 1995Assignee: Pitney Bowes Inc.Inventors: Joseph Guiles, Irena Makarchuk, Scott W. Martin, James Morabito, William D. Toth

Patent number: 3936114Abstract: A mounting fixture for mounting a postage meter to a mail-handling machine is disclosed. The fixture features a pivotable housing which pivots to disengage the postage meter from its printing position. A pair of elongated tracks are disposed upon the housing, which then guides and allows the postage meter to be pulled forward to an accessible position. In this position, the meter is easily set to a new register reading for purposes of adding funds to the machine.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 1975Date of Patent: February 3, 1976Assignee: Pitney-Bowes, Inc.Inventors: Anthony Storace, James Morabito
