Publication number: 20040188437Abstract: Container for storing food products including a base defining a product support surface for supporting the food product and a cover releasably engaging with the base such that when the cover engages with the base, a storage compartment is defined by the cover and the base. The cover includes an air control unit for controlling air pressure in the storage compartment and a window extending downward from the air control unit to surround food products in the storage compartment. A product supported on the product support surface of the base is visible through the window when the cover engages with the base. By providing the window as part of the cover, the base is separable from the window to thereby expose the product support surface of the base so that cakes can be easily placed on the product support surface and then enclosed by the cover.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2003Publication date: September 30, 2004Applicant: HOUSEWARES AMERICA, INC.Inventor: Debbie Jean Meyer

Publication number: 20040144447Abstract: In prior art veneer-slicing machines, the blade is always mounted so that its cutting edge is parallel to the plane of the table, inside of which a wooden beam can be clamped. As a result, it is not possible or only possible with a high degree of complexity, to make adaptations to the shape of the wooden beam, said shape being, for example, conical in some types of wood, or to the course of the grain in order to achieve an optimal sectional image and thus the best possible veneer quality. The inventive veneer-slicing machine should make it possible to make simple adaptations to the shape of the wooden beam or should be able to influence the sectional image. To this end, the tool slide (1) can be placed at an angle (&agr;) that is slanted with regard to the plane of the table (17).Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2003Publication date: July 29, 2004Inventors: Jean Meyer, Heinrich Webbler, Armin Heiner

Publication number: 20040094232Abstract: The invention relates to a veneer slicing machine. The output of prior art veneer slicing machines is limited by virtue of the fact that the slideways quickly heat up at a maximum stroke rate. As a result, the maximum permissible temperature of 120° C. is quickly reached thereby making it necessary to shut down the machine in order to permit the slideways to cool. The inventive veneer slicing machine should be able to be used in continuous operation at a maximum stroke rate and thus function without resulting in a loss in quality. To this end, cooling means are arranged on the slideways (16) and are provided in said slideways (16) e.g. in the form of borings (21) through which the coolant circulates whereby enabling heat to be carried away in a well-directed manner.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2003Publication date: May 20, 2004Inventors: Jean Meyer, Heinrich Weppler, Armin Heiner

Publication number: 20030146401Abstract: A two-stage valve for controlling the flow of fluid from a pressurized fluid supply with an upper main body including a cavity with a contoured inner surface; a lower main body with at least one flow exhaust passage forming a primary flow path through the two-stage valve; a pre-stressed diaphragm sandwiched between the upper and lower main bodies, and pressure control capability for controlling the pressure in the cavity. A first valve opens and closes the flow of gas from the pressurized gas supply to the cavity. A second valve allows the pressure in the cavity to exhaust to the environment. Raising and lowering of the pressure in the cavity causes the pre-stressed diaphragm to open and close the flow of gas from the pressurized gas supply through the primary flow path of the two-stage valve. The design is suitable as a microvalve using Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) concepts.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2003Publication date: August 7, 2003Applicant: Lockheed Martin CorporationInventors: Todd Garrett Wetzel, Mathew Christian Nielsen, Stanton Earl Weaver, Renato Guida, James Wilson Rose, Laura Jean Meyer

Patent number: 6557820Abstract: A two-stage valve for controlling the flow of gas from a pressurized gas supply with an upper main body including a cavity; a lower main body with at least one flow exhaust passage forming a primary flow path through the two-stage valve; a pre-stressed diaphragm sandwiched between the upper and lower main bodies, and pressure control capability for controlling the pressure in the cavity. A secondary flow path exists from the pressurized gas supply through the lower main body, through the upper main body, and terminating in the cavity in the upper main body. A first valve is installed in the secondary flow path to open and close the flow of gas from the pressurized gas supply to the cavity. A second valve installed in an exhaust passage in the upper main body allows the pressure in the cavity to exhaust to the environment. When the second valve is closed, the pressure in the cavity in the upper main body can be increased to lower the pre-stressed diaphragm.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2001Date of Patent: May 6, 2003Assignee: Lockheed Martin CorporationInventors: Todd Garrett Wetzel, Matthew Christian Nielsen, Stanton Earl Weaver, Jr., Renato Guida, James Wilson Rose, Laura Jean Meyer

Patent number: 5451358Abstract: Process for producing a thermobonding product by extruding a thermofusible mass (1) and scraping it in molten state onto an incised cylinder (2) regulated as to temperature between about 120.degree. C. and 250.degree. C., calendaring the mass (1) with this cylinder (2) and an elastomeric silicone cylinder (3), while transferring it onto the elastomeric cylinder (3), which simultaneously effects a consolidation of the product (1) by cooling. The product is then transferred either onto a conveyor band (4) and brought by the conveyor, after passage through thermal treatment zones (5), to a roll winding-up station (6), or directly, in the form of continuous or discontinuous structure, onto a final utilization or transfer support (17). The invention is particularly applicable in the field of the textile industry, particularly for bonding or reinforcing.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 1992Date of Patent: September 19, 1995Assignee: Protechnic S.A.Inventors: Jean Meyer, Pascal Strub
