  • Publication number: 20130081360
    Abstract: A stretch film wrapping system for wrapping film about palletized loads includes a wrapping station for wrapping stretch film about a palletized load. A corner protector placement station is located upstream of the wrapping station along a path of a conveying system leading from the corner protector placement station to the wrapping station. Corner protectors are applied to the corner edges of a palletized load at the corner protector placement station, prior to delivering the palletized load to the wrapping station. The corner protector placement station may include a pair of robotic arms that pick corner protectors, position them for application of an adhesive and then apply the protectors to the corner edges of the palletized load.

  • Patent number: 6822955
    Abstract: System and method for fully transparent IP mobility services for clients in a dynamic LAN Ethernet environment. The functionality within a proxy server, a combination of network address translation, proxy address resolution protocol, and proxy domain name service, allow the proxy server to support and provide full IP client functionality to any IP-enabled network device in any proxy server enabled LAN. The proxy server may be added to an existing Ethernet (or Ethernet-emulated) LAN. Once configured with the necessary subnet range, DNS, and IP pools, the proxy server provides support for any mobile device that enters the LAN.

  • Patent number: 6393764
    Abstract: Planter elements for use individually or in various combinations for a wide variety of uses and which are easily assembled for compact storage/shipment. A base element is a box-like structure having four walls, open at the top and bottom. The walls are attached to posts at the four corners with upper surfaces of the posts in a common plane within the space surrounded by the walls and lower surfaces in a common plane below such space, permitting two or more of these elements to be stacked atop and releasably attached to one another, or be placed under or over other elements, as well as being optionally secured in place directly upon the ground. A similarly constructed element, termed an extension box, may be placed atop the base to increase its effective height, or may be used separately or in combination with other elements. The base and/or extension box elements may be supported upon and releasably attached to a cooperatively structured dolly element for convenient movement.

  • Patent number: 5097810
    Abstract: An allergy testing apparatus for testing a patient for a plurality of allergies at the same time comprises an actuating member resiliently suspended from a frame member and which is movable relative to the frame member. A plurality of spaced apart substance sources are mounted in the frame member below the actuating member. A plurality of spaced apart needles or the like are mounted on the actuating member and extend in the same direction so as to pierce the respective substance sources during movement of the actuating member toward the skin of a patient to apply the substances to the skin of a patient. According to another feature of the invention, the device is shaped like a rotatable, drum-like device, having a plurality of layers. The needles or the like are covered over by a resilient layer, and substance containing means are mounted over the resilient layer and in registration with the respective needles.

  • Patent number: 4489594
    Abstract: My invention is of simple construction. It is easy to mount in place and efficiently holds the pad 43 to close the port 14. Because of the vertical slot 18 the bar 17 may be adjusted vertically so that the upper end 25 may be properly positioned even though the threaded opening 20 may be at a different elevational position.

  • Patent number: 4462726
    Abstract: A support frame having a face which may be positioned against a workpiece. A cutting arm is mounted for rotation relative to the axis of the frame in such a manner as to support a cutting tool which may be used to form a groove in a workpiece, such as a cylinder head. The cutting arm is supported in a rotating unit such that the depth of the tool and the radius of the groove may be precisely controlled. A crank is attached to the turning unit for positive rotation of the cutting tool. A plurality of locating, headed pins are mounted in the frame so that the heads are biased to positions beyond the workpiece-contact face of the frame. In the exemplary use of the tool to form a groove in a cylinder head, the pins may be precisely positioned so as to cooperate with stud bolt holes in the cylinder head in order to precisely locate the axis of the turning unit relative to the cylinder head.
