Abstract: A personal device mounting system comprising a first and second disc that can snap together over a piece of fabric, such as a shirt, to hold a personal device in place. A mounting system for a personal device comprising a rigid mounting disc having at least one mount ring on a back surface thereof, the mounting disc having an attachment device on a front surface thereof. A flexible deformable backer disc having at least one backer ring on a backer disc front face.

Abstract: A method of setting up a development environment for development work on a computer based business process, involves providing a software model (827) of the business process, and providing in the model a representation (870) of tools for developing part of the process, incorporated with the corresponding part of the modelled business process. The selected parts of the model incorporating the tools are deployed, and the given tools installed, to set up the development environment. By modelling the development tools incorporated in the business process, setting up the development environment can be made easier. Choice and arrangement of tools needs less manual input, so risks of errors, and time spent in setting up can be reduced.

Abstract: A method and apparatus that produces shaped and laminate articles and recovers the excess material or flash as a part of the manufacturing process. The apparatus uses a combination of rotary die and anvil roller assemblies in successive multiple stations to cut and separate each raw material into final product portions and recyclable flash portions as each raw material enters the apparatus. The apparatus separately reclaims each raw material flash portion and delivers the flash of each material in a recyclable form to an auxiliary recycling operation. In recovering the flash, the apparatus does not adversely affect the speed or quality of production of the final shaped or laminated product. To ease removal of the flash, the apparatus applies lubricant to the blades of the rotary die. To avoid damage to web material, the apparatus uses vacuum belts to convey the web material and web product through the apparatus.

Abstract: A first embodiment of the present invention provides a method for transferring printed products and comprises the steps of pulling a printed product from a stack using a feed device running at a first preselected speed, accelerating the feed device after pulling the printed product from the stack and releasing the printed product from the feed device at a second preselected speed greater than the first speed.

Abstract: A pallet having a front, a back and two sides; each of said sides having a fork entry opening, open at both ends of the pallet and along the length of each side; each opening having a stepped upper surface comprising a lower portion for engagement by an upper surface of a fork to lift the pallet and an outer upper portion extending from the inner portion to the side spaced upwardly from the inner portion. The pallet can be used with pallet trucks that have a wider inter-fork distance wider than the width of the pallet to permit adjacent intimate abuttment of similar pallets in a series to provide maximum use of shop floor space and pallet platform stocking area.
