Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for managing electronic documents. In particular, embodiments of the present invention are focussed on managing ingestion of documents into an information system, such as ingestion of documents generated by a device having scanning functionality. Embodiments include devices, software (defined by computer executable code), carrier media, and methodologies. In overview, a document is received from an ingestion source, such as a Multi Function Device (MFD) having a scanner. For example, the document is a scanned into an electronic form from a paper form. This electronic form is subjected to additional processing thereby to implement a predefined security protocol prior to the document (or a modified version thereof) being released into an information system.

Abstract: A closures mechanism for a door actuated during a fire, which causes the door to automatically close. The present invention provides a hinge with opposing hinge plates comprising a door leaf and a frame leaf each pivotal around a hinge pin and spring. A hinge spring nub is anchored within a channel having a fusible block that prevents the spring nub and tension from traveling the channel. At a predetermined temperature the fusible block ruptures causing the spring nub and spring tension to move into engagement with the door attached to the hinge door leaf thereby causing the door to close by means of the tensioned spring's kinetic energy.

Abstract: Variations of an improved weight bar clamp are disclosed herein. A weight bar clamp includes a collar with two opposing walls that extend from a common end. The collar may be a one-piece collar or a multi-piece collar. The opposing walls may also include an arced interior surface and a plurality of structural ribs. The structural ribs extend in an arc partially between the common end and a terminating end of each opposing wall. The weight bar clamp may further include a biasing member that biases cam halves coupled to the opposing walls away from one another. The clamp further includes handle coupled to the cam halves. The clamp includes a cam opening configured to allow the cam halves to separate in an open position and push the cam halves toward each other in a closed position.

Abstract: A clamp (20) includes a first barrel half (26) and second barrel half (28). A hinge pin (30) pivotally couples a first edge (38) of the first barrel half (26) with a third edge (46) of the second barrel half (28). A spring (96) imposes force on the barrel halves (26, 28) to bias a second edge (40) of the first barrel half (26) away from a fourth edge (48) of the first barrel half (28) to create a gap (34) between edges (40, 48), placing the clamp (20) in an open position (22). A handle (32) includes a base (80) that abuts an outer surface (54) of the barrel halves (26, 28) to compel the second edge (40) of the first barrel half (26) toward the fourth edge (48) of the first barrel half (28) to close the gap (34), placing the clamp (20) in a closed position (22).
