Abstract: A cleaning module for cleaning bone stock used in surgical procedures. The cleaning module includes a shell. The shell defines a void space to receive the bone stock. A cutter is rotating mounted in the void space. A shaving tube, also able to rotate, is coaxially disposed about the cutter. The cutter and shaving tube have complementary edges. A drive assembly rotates the cutter and shaving tube at different speeds, at different times or in different directions relative to the cutter. As a result of the rotation of the cutter and shaving tube soft tissue adhering to the bone stock is cut away from the bone stock by the relative rotating of the cutting edges of the cutter and shaving tube.

Abstract: A storage unit for use in the home, garage, or business. The storage unit includes has a mounting arrangement that permits a user to easily mount the storage unit to a wall. The storage unit also includes a shelving arrangement that can be adapted to customize the use of the storage unit in the home, garage, or business.

Abstract: A user interface associated with a print stream processing software tool allows a user define a print stream process application by “drag and drop” interaction with the user interface. Actions may be inserted in an action list by “dragging” items from a pallet to an action list icon. Attributes of the actions may be “dragged” from an input file icon. The resulting actions may further be defined by “dragging” objects created by the actions to an output file icon. Rules to process a print stream are generated from the action list.

Abstract: A stackable cage for use with birds and animals. The stackable cage includes a ventilated enclosure having a door. The enclosure includes a bottom and a top. Each of the bottom and top having corresponding structure that interlocks with the structure of stacked cages to securely maintain the stacked relationship of the cages. The bottom of the enclosure also includes a raised floor at least partially surrounded by a channel. Bird or animal droppings migrate toward the channel to reduce the mess associated with housing animals or birds.

Abstract: A method of using a fitting stand including a frame arrangement, a platform, and a wheel arrangement. The wheel arrangement includes front and rear wheel assemblies. The frame arrangement is configured to pivot the platform between a lowered position and a raised position. In the lowered position, a base frame of the frame arrangement is lifted from the ground such that the only the front and rear wheel assemblies contact the ground to provide transportation of the fitting stand when either loaded or unloaded. In the raised position, legs of the frame arrangement contact the ground such that the front and rear wheel assemblies are lifted off the ground.

Abstract: The invention is a method and system for print stream determination. The system's method begins with the initiation of a print stream processing application to which a print stream is directed. A print job is determined from a set of characteristics resident in the print stream. The print processing application will determine the optimal use of the system's peripheral devices for performing the job. The optimal use is determined by comparing each of the job's characteristics with each of the characteristics of the potential device driver. The comparison begins with determination of a value for each of the job characteristics wherein the value is representative of a desired result. A value for each of the device driver characteristics is determined wherein the value is representative of a potential result. Each of the desired results is compared to each corresponding potential result. If no corresponding potential result can be established, then an alternative peripheral device is sought.

Abstract: The invention is a client message structure and its method for use in communicating a message between a client and a server in a print stream processing system. The structure comprises a set of elements that facilitate message throughput while minimizing competing client message traffic. The first element comprises message assembly device at the client for producing a message structure in accordance with a protocol established by the server. An interface, such as a TCP/IP socket, is provided for interfacing the client with the server. The interface is linked with socket thread production device for maintaining a link with the server. The structure includes a message structure format which comprises message header segments for identifying the message to the server, and a message property structure format, comprising a set of message header segments for identifying message properties.

Abstract: The invention is a method of establishing, and a structure for, a print stream job ticket. The method begins with receiving a unique job message identifier from a server client, where the identifier is representative of a particular print processing job. Once the identifier is received, the method locates a job ticket template database then attempts to match the received identifier with a template located in the database. The matching step is accomplished by plotting each element of the identifier to determine a set of elements to be mapped against a corresponding template. The identifier is then mapped against each one of the templates to determine a match based upon a set of matching rules. If a match exists, the matched template is selected to establish a new job ticket.

Abstract: The invention is a method for creating a print job object, in an object oriented development environment of a print stream processing system. The object creation function within the system is named which registers a class within the function and instantiates the class. The instantiation establishes a programming interface to the print job object which allows the establishment of the print job object properties. The object's programming interface creates a portal through which a set of object methods can be placed within the print job object. The methods include action instructions which further include: display instructions; storage instructions; and, printing instructions. Additionally device selection functionality, text formatting functionality which further includes text templates for the matching of the print stream to a set of desired document finishing schemes, and a set of print job data tables can be placed within the print job object by utilizing the programming interface.

Abstract: A headlock device for holding the head of a domestic animal for any purpose requiring the holding of that animal. The device is built for quick and easy removal and replacement on a pen with which it is to be used. The holding mechanism is adjustable so that the device can be used on animals having different sizes of neck. The adjustment is two-fold. One is an adjustment of the holding position so that it can be used with similar animals each of which has a similar sized neck. The second adjustment is for an individual animal or to hold the headlock in its open position.
