Patent number: 7669382Abstract: A closure assembly and a method of installing the closure assembly are provided. A insertion opening is formed in water resistant barrier covering a rough opening that generally corresponds to a perimeter of the rough opening. A drainage system including a channel assembly is installed on a sill surface of the rough opening. The closure assembly is inserted into the rough opening and temporarily secured to the structure. At least one shim carried on the closure assembly is adjusted to level the closure assembly in the rough opening. A sealing member attached to the closure assembly is engaged with the water resistant barrier. A foam material is delivered into at least a portion of a space between perimeter edge surfaces of the closure assembly and inner surfaces of the rough opening to permanently secure the closure assembly within the rough opening.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2006Date of Patent: March 2, 2010Assignee: Pella CorporationInventors: Cordell R. Burton, Timothy D. Dorenkamp, Michael J. Kugel, Evan R. Vande Haar, Bruce A. Baier, Mark Mullen, Jason L. Jungling

Patent number: 6192035Abstract: An intelligent multistation access unit is provided having a transmission speed detection circuit for determining the data transmission speed of an attached device attempting to gain access to a node of a multiple transmission rate digital data communications network. The intelligent multistation access unit is comprised of a speed detect circuit, which indicates the data transmission speed of the attached device, a switching circuit which directs the attached device to the speed detect circuit until switched to allow the attached device access to the network node, and a processor that controls the switching circuit and which permits the attached device access to the node depending on the data transmission speed indication.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 1997Date of Patent: February 20, 2001Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Andrew Keith Boggs, Quy N. Hoang, Joe Jacobs, John Mark Mullen, Challis Purrington, Laura A. Weaver

Patent number: 5089087Abstract: The number 2 flash tank of a black liquor energy recovery system associated with a continuous pulp digester is eliminated, and other advantages are obtained. After flashing in the number 1 flash tank, concentrated black liquor passes to a multiple effect evaporator system as the heating fluid supplied to the last effect. The heated black liquor passes in heat exchange relationship with excess make-up liquor from the high pressure feeder circulation system and/or with portions of the extracted black liquor that have had more of their content removed, the heated black liquor effecting evaporation of the excess make-up liquor and/or portions of the black liquor. Steam from the steam relief of the steaming vessel may be used as a secondary heating fluid source for the first effect.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 1989Date of Patent: February 18, 1992Assignee: Kamyr, Inc.Inventors: Carl L. Elmore, Mark A. Mullen, George D. Emery, Timothy R. Carter
