Abstract: An energy system for applying energy to a workpiece includes a first energy application device, mounted such that the first energy application device has a fixed position relative to the workpiece during energy application; a second energy application device, mounted such that the second energy application device has a moveable position relative to the workpiece to apply energy to the workpiece at a point moving progressively across the workpiece, wherein one of the first and second energy application devices is an anvil and the other of the first and second energy application devices is an ultrasonic bonder; and a controller for regulating the application of energy to the workpiece, wherein the controller is configured to adjust progressively across the workpiece one or more of bonder vibration amplitude versus position on the workpiece, bonder pressure versus position on the workpiece, and horn travel velocity versus position on the workpiece.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for dynamically generating and updating a patrol schedule for a shift based on historic demand event data, and a predicted-demand model based on the historic demand event data. The systems and methods also receive information associated with patrol officers assigned to a shift and constraints on the officers' availability, and generate a patrol schedule comprising patrol assignments for the assigned patrol officers optimized based on at least one policing objective. The patrol schedule may be dynamically updated based on changing information and provided to the patrol officer via mobile device or display in the patrol officer's vehicle.

Abstract: A hand-held oscillating tool has a linear motor and an accessory attachment mechanism configured for releasable coupling to an accessory blade.

Abstract: A table apparatus for a vehicle seat comprising a table, having at least one table leaf, and a table support mechanism, wherein the table support mechanism enables translational movement of the table between a substantially horizontal stowed configuration and a deployed configuration.

Abstract: A system for temporarily sealing bathtub overflow plumbing and waste water plumbing to provide for pressurized testing to locate leaks includes a rigid unitary stop for mating with a corresponding female coupler so as to sandwich therebetween a rim of a bathtub aperture. The female coupler has an internal thread in a cavity in the coupler. The female coupler is adapted for mounting into overflow and waste water plumbing for a bathtub. The female coupler is mountable so as to be adjacent the bathtub apertures. The stop includes an annular rigid sealing flange. An externally threaded cylindrical plug is mounted to the sealing flange. The plug is sized to snugly mate into the female coupler in threaded engagement therein. The threaded engagement draws the sealing flange towards the female coupler sandwiching the bathtub therebetween.

Abstract: A fuser assembly configured to fix a toner image to a sheet of print media includes a fuser belt having a first side edge and a second side edge. A plurality of end cap assemblies is positioned to locate the fuser belt. The plurality of end cap assemblies include a first end cap assembly having a first compliant stopping flange positioned to engage the first side edge of the fuser belt, and a second end cap assembly having a second compliant flange positioned to engage the second side edge of the fuser belt.

Abstract: A fuser assembly configured to fix a toner image to a sheet of print media includes a fuser belt having a first side edge, a second side edge spaced apart from the first side edge, an exterior surface, an interior surface, and a hollow interior defined by the interior surface. A pair of end cap assemblies is positioned to locate the fuser belt, and the fuser belt is positioned between and supported by the pair of end cap assemblies. Each end cap assembly of the pair of end cap assemblies includes an end cap body and a belt support mechanism. The belt support mechanism is coupled to the end cap body for supporting the fuser belt and is configured to be compliant in a direction perpendicular to a rotational axis of the fuser belt to apply a biasing force to the interior surface of the fuser belt.

Abstract: A fuser assembly includes a first end cap, and a second end cap spaced apart from the first end cap along an axis orthogonal to a sheet feed direction. A fuser belt is positioned between and supported by the first end cap and the second end cap to rotate around the axis in a belt moving direction at the nip corresponding to the sheet feed direction. A heater assembly is located in the hollow interior of the fuser belt. A plurality of ribs is positioned to contact the interior surface of the fuser belt. A first rib is connected to one of the first end cap and the heater assembly. A second rib is connected to one of the second end cap and the heater assembly. Each of the plurality of ribs is oriented to longitudinally extend at an acute angle with respect to the belt moving direction.

Abstract: A Land Surveying Safety Beacon that is secured above an existing land surveying prism assembly. The Land Surveying Safety Beacon includes a cylinder fitted with bright LED lights powered by a rechargeable battery and controlled by a switch on the top end. The bottom end of the Land Surveying Safety Beacon is threaded for securement to a standard male connection above the existing land surveying prism assembly. The fitting on the bottom end of the Land Surveying Safety Beacon is particularly formed to facilitate completed face-to-face contact and avoid misalignment when attached to an existing land surveying prism. The above abstract is neither intended to define the invention of the application, which is measured by the claims, nor is it intended to be limiting as to the scope of the invention in any way.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for the reduction of wrinkles formed in sheets of paper media which may contain various levels of absorbed moisture across the surface and which are processed through a fuser section of a printing or copying device. Protruding features may be provided laterally spaced apart by a desired paper width at the fuser nip to create a pressure contact area which constrains the outer longitudinal edges of the sheet of paper as it enters the nip.
