  • Patent number: 6064985
    Abstract: An automated portfolio management system and method which manages data in a database, and populates the database with data from a data feed off the Internet. The system utilizes double leveraging of funds and purchased index puts as insurance against market downturns, to generate a guaranteed high yield. The double leveraging is accomplished by selling covered calls and using a formula to determine the maximum amount to borrow against the portfolio, and using income from both sources to purchase additional stock. The high yield from the portfolio is protected from market downturns by index puts.

  • Patent number: 4362922
    Abstract: Disclosed is an air make-up unit mounted within the confines of a conventional outside wall of a frame building between the 16" on-center studs. The unit includes a rotary blower with a horizontal tangential discharge, the latter having heating elements therein and being encased in a vertical wall of insulation which extends within an insulated air chamber defined by a telescoping outer casing. Positive air pressure is maintained within the building by air-pressure-sensitive controls located within the building and controlling the two-speed motor. The latter is thermostatically controlled to be operated at a slower speed when colder weather prevails. It is also controlled and energized by a humidistat located within the building to force outside air into the building and diminish the humidity therein when needed.

  • Patent number: 4244202
    Abstract: A readily adjustable machine which continuously produces corrugated flexible metal tubing from very light gauge metal and of various diameters. A warping ring receives therewithin a longitudinally corrugated narrow strip of formable metal of light gauge and warps the same helically to produce convolutions by means of a helical warping surface which extends into one of the longitudinal corrugations. The size of the tube produced can be varied by merely substituting a warping ring of a different size. A uniquely shaped pair of die-forming rollers have lock-seam forming surfaces which are adjustable relative to each other to provide variation in the degree to which the seam will permit and withstand axial torque. The lock seam is constructed to be symmetrical about the neutral axis of the corrugation and about the slope line of the common corrugation leg of adjacent convolutions which it constitutes.

  • Patent number: 4112731
    Abstract: A semi-automatic sheet metal forming machine for forming light gauge metal having a bed formed of a plurality of adjustable and interchangeable spaced spacer plates of various widths, a forming bar having a plurality of removable and interchangeable forming fingers of various widths, and a clamping bar including a plurality of removable slidably mounted clamping fingers of various widths, the clamping bar and forming bar being hydraulically operated and synchronized for semi-automatic repeated forming operations. By adjusting and utilizing different width combinations of the clamping and forming fingers and spacer plates, an operator can perform almost any desired sheet metal forming operation which heretofore would have required separate and expensive special dies.
