Abstract: An adsorption cooling system and cooling method as disclosed. An energy storage system is arranged to capture and store energy generated by the adsorption cooling system that is determined to be surplus to the energy needed to meet the current demands for cooling by the adsorption cooling system. The energy storage system is arranged to store said energy for subsequent use.

Abstract: A locking mechanism (40) for a closure assembly (10) comprises first and second locking members (42, 44) movable between locked and unlocked positions. The locking mechanism (40) includes a control device (46) operably attached to the first and second locking members (42, 44). The control device (46) effects movement of the first and second locking members (42, 44) between their respective locked and unlocked positions.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for detecting operating status of the shutter. The device includes a shutter for receiving a light from a source, a solenoid for controlling movement of the shutter, and an optical sensor connected to the shutter for detecting the light received by the shutter. The solenoid produces a electrical signal indicating the solenoid operating state signal. The sensor produces electrical signal indicating open and closed stages of the shutter. The device further includes an electronic circuit for receiving both the electrical signals, and outputting an electrical output signal reflecting the operating status of the shutter.

Abstract: The present invention provides an electromagnetic energy spot curing system which utilizes an external signal from a processor to control the operation of the curing unit. The processor is external to the curing unit and specifically controls the exposure and dwell periods of the radiation energy from the curing unit on a work site or target which contains material to be light cured.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer readable code for enabling use of smart cards by consumer devices for Internet commerce. This is achieved by integrating an existing “Integrated Circuit Card Specification for Application Payment Systems” standard (commonly known as the “EMV” standard) with an augmented version of the Four-Party Credit/Debit Payment Protocol which was disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,327,578. The result of the integration allows a consumer to use a smart card from a personal computer system for credit or debit transactions, while preserving the level of security and other features required by the credit card associations and banks. No modifications are required to the existing EMV standard or existing EMV smart cards.

Abstract: The present invention provides an electromagnetic energy spot curing method and system which integrates the UV radiation with an inert gas to disperse the gas and the radiation energy simultaneously to cure an adhesive surface on a target or work piece. The system provides a means to cure the adhesive surface during photoinitiation to expel the atmospheric oxygen which otherwise would interfere with the curing cycle.

Abstract: A product of a method is disclosed, the method being for construction of non-seamed stone corners for use on outside edges formed by joining thin stone walls at right angles. Thin stone is used to lay the field of the walls. In the method, two cuts are made in a building stone, removing a residual piece and leaving a corner stone with sides ½ inch to 3 inch thick to match the thickness of the thin stone on the field of the walls. These corner stones are the product of the method and are laid on the corner formed by the right angle joint between the walls, giving the illusion of a thick building stone wall with nearly the low cost and easy laying of thin stone. Where the residual piece is large enough, it is used to cut a second corner stone in the same manner.

Abstract: A Conveyorable Plastic Thermoformed Pallet, having a support member and support legs with outer walls, internal walls and inner walls, is utilized to transport product on a conveyor system. The Pallet is made using a twin-sheet thermoforming process that requires two molds for an upper sheet of thermoplastic material and a lower sheet of thermoplastic material. The upper sheet forms a top deck of the support member and the internal walls of the support legs. The lower sheet forms the underside of the support member, the inner walls of the support legs, and leg bottoms. Both sheets are fused to form the twin-sheet outer walls. The upper sheet also forms web strips which stabilize the walls of the support legs and prevent deflection of the walls.

Abstract: A UV spot curing lamp assembly comprises an integral filter support and shutter stop mechanism. The assembly includes a UV lamp and a light guide spaced therefrom for receiving filtered light from the lamp and for directing light through the light guide to a selected target or work site for curing materials thereat. A filter plate in the form of a borosilicate glass, having a selected thickness for the particular application, is disposed in relatively close proximity to the entrance surface of the light guide. A movable shutter plate, having an opening therethrough, is disposed between the filter and the light guide entrance surface. The shutter is movable from a first position wherein the opening is in registry with the light guide entrance surface to receive light from the lamp to a second position wherein a solid portion of the shutter plate blocks light from being received by the light guide entrance surface.

Abstract: An electromagnetic energy spot curing system is provided which utilizes a template which moves relative to a source of radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum, such as an ultraviolet (UV) lamp. A channel is formed through the template of varying widths so that during the course of relative movement, different intensities of radiation emanating from the source is continuously passed through the channel and applied to a desired location, typically a curable material.
