  • Patent number: 10016970
    Abstract: Systems and methods relating to improved printable magnetic sheet materials compatible with high-volume roll-to-roll printing processes using roll-fed presses. When implemented, the system permits existing roll-to-roll printer to generate sheet-magnet promotional materials that are adherable to various material substrates, such as, for example, mailers, phone books, etc.

  • Patent number: 9455078
    Abstract: A non-linear multi-pole magnetization pattern is used to magnetize flexible magnetizable sheets. The non-linear pattern is produced by a magnetizing mechanism having a set of angled magnets. Shifting of magnetic sheet positions in a stack is eliminated by randomizing the positions of the multiple magnetic poles in such manner that as the magnetic sheets are stacked, each sheet will have a multi-pole configuration different from the adjacent sheets below and above it on the stack.

  • Patent number: 6750395
    Abstract: A wiring fitting of the type adapted to be supported in a floor opening in a floor of a building structure. The fitting includes at least one intumescent fire retarding member formed from a polymeric based intumescent material. Employing a polymeric intumescent material allows the intumescent members to be formed by molding or extruding processes. A relatively rigid intumescent material may be used to form components including a tubular insert sized for insertion into the floor opening, as well as other components that could otherwise be formed from plastic, such as the cover plate, the receptacle barrier, and the trim flange. A relatively flexible polymeric based intumescent material can be used to form seals in the fitting.

  • Patent number: 6583356
    Abstract: A wire protection grommet is constructed for installation in a wire pull opening in the cell of a cellular raceway. The grommet is sized for insertion through the wire pull opening and defines central passages extending through the opening. The central passage has a radiused portion defining a wire pull strain relief to prevent wires that pass through the grommet from being bent beyond a predetermined bend radius. The grommet is constructed to lockingly engage into the wire pull opening so that it is not displaced during use. The distal end of the grommet may be weighted so that the grommet correctly orients itself in the opening during installation. The grommet may also include a wire storage section around which excess wiring can be wrapped. Hooks may be provided for retaining the excess wire on the wire storage section. The grommet may include an opening or slot which extends to the central passage and which is sized to permit wires to be slid into the passage.
