Abstract: Computerized systems and methods are provided for automatically generating an application overflow tool that is dynamically updated and arranged to provide improved access to popular or recently used applications. These systems and methods improve existing technologies by generating an overflow panel different from a task bar, such that the overflow panel provides access to most recently used applications that are not on the task bar. As such, ease of access to applications is improved to increase user efficiency. These systems also improve the way computers operate by leveraging existing GUI layouts to reduce computing resource consumption, such as memory, network latency, I/O, and the like, that would otherwise be required improve access to applications.

Abstract: A method for minimizing the clogging of a cooling zone heat exchanger of a reflow solder apparatus that includes the steps of: removing a gas/flux mixture from an exhaust zone (20) that is located adjacent a heated zone and/or a cooling zone; conducting the gas/flux mixture to and through a first filter chamber (22), conducting the filtered gas from the filter chamber (22) through a low pressure portion of a blower housing of a cooling zone (16), then subsequently to and through a high pressure portion (44) of the cooling zone that includes a collection tray (38), a mesh filter (48), a heat exchanger (46) and at least one perforated plate (50). The heat exchanger is thermostatically controlled at a preset tempering temperature that minimizes the collection of flux on its exterior surfaces while allowing a solder joint of an article to solidify.

Abstract: A motion conversion device comprising a cam mounted for rotation about an axis eccentric to a central axis, said eccentric axis being rotatable about said central axis, the cam having N lobes the outermost points of which are equally spaced around and equidistant from the eccentric axis, N being an odd integer other than 1, means for effecting relative rotation between the central axis and the cam on rotation of the eccentric axis about the central axis or rotation of the cam about its eccentric axis whereby the cam is arranged to rotate about its eccentric axis at an angular velocity of (2/N+1) times the angular velocity of the eccentric axis about the central axis, a pair of cam followers rotatable about an axis substantially coincident with the central axis, the cam followers being in contact with the cam on opposed sides of the central axis and equidistant from the central axis, the cam being formed such that on rotation of the eccentric axis about the central axis at a substantially constant velocity the
