Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a rotary screen printing apparatus, comprising: a rotary cylindrical screen; a conduit which provides fluid communication to an internal volume of the rotary cylindrical screen; and, a heater whose output is directed towards the conduit.

Abstract: An identity federation and security token translation module and method for operable engagement with a web application or an internet information service (IIS). A first server includes computer-executable instructions defining the identity federation and security token translation module for managing and facilitating a creation of a custom security principal object for a user requesting access to the web application. A data cache stores the custom security principal object in a non-transitory computer readable media. The identity federation and security token translation module may be changed without making changes to the web application or the IIS.

Abstract: A storage device for storing tools and tool related items. The storage device has a rectangular or cylindrical shaped main portion. Removable doors allow access to the interior of the main portion from the front or back. Movable vertical segments are mounted on rails within the main portion and slide partially out of the main portion at either the front or back of the device. The vertical segments can be mounted on a device for rotational movement within the main portion. Tools, tool related items and miscellany are stored on the vertical segments by magnetic attraction or by mechanical holders. Horizontal segments can be included in the storage device.

Abstract: A toilet paper dispenser which serves the dual role of providing paper roll support arms and a shields for the cavity in the support arms. When a paper roll is inserted into the dispenser, the edge of the roll contacts the shields pushing the shields into the cavities and when the paper roll tube bore reaches the shields, the shields become re-positioned in the bore of the paper roll by a tensioning device.

Abstract: A circuit board holder is used to hold warped circuit boards in a substantially flat disposition while components are assembled onto the circuit board. The holder comprises a base plate and a carrier plate. The base plate is designed to fit into a specific machine. The carrier plate is supported by the base plate and is designed to receive and hold circuit boards with a specific board panelization and layout. The carrier plate includes a substantially flat board support surface. Circuit boards are placed on the board support surface of the carrier plate. The circuit boards are held against the board support surface of the carrier plate by vacuum.

Abstract: A collapsible pallet has a transverse platform with a number of peripheral openings formed along opposite side edges of the platform. A pair of spaced apart support runners formed from a continuous curved steel rod extend along the underside of the platform, with an upstanding portion of each runner projecting through the openings in the platform. A pair of transverse stiffeners having spaced apart eyes engage the upstanding portions of each runner to rigidify the interconnected platform and runners. The stiffeners are formed from a flat metal strap with opposite ends of the strap being curved to define the eyes.

Abstract: A method of making flat steel strapping or strip from rods, bars or slit steel includes the steps of heating a piece of steel to an elevated temperature greater than the upper critical temperature, hot rolling the steel and quenching the rolled steel from a temperature that is above the upper critical temperature or in the range of the lower critical temperature to the upper critical temperature.

Abstract: This relates to a signal processor which accepts the linear sum of several continuous (CW) direct sequence, spread spectrum signals, and outputs a sequence of narrow pulses, each of which contains all the available energy of one of the input signals. The CW signals are applied to the input of a tapped delay line, the contents of which are compared, in a parallel fashion, with the output of a code storage register. When correlation has been achieved, a narrow pulse is produced which contains all the available energy of one of the input signals. The circuit reduces the problem of continuously processing several simultaneous signals, conventionally performed with dedicated circuitry for each signal, to a sequential pulse processing operation, effectively timesharing the same single set of circuitry. Both amplitude and phase information is preserved through the processing technique allowing implementation in coherent and non-coherent system architectures.

Abstract: The code generator of the present invention uses digital memories to replace the linear feedback shift registers of the prior art. Each memory contains the time ordered bit sequence for each of the component codes which in general, make up the overall, longer code. Since the entire bit sequences of the component codes are immediately available in the memories by appropriate addressing, the code generator can be initialized to an arbitrary, but defined code state within the response time of the memory element. As an additional benefit, at the option of the designer, the digital memory can be chosen to extract code segments, for example, 8 bits wide rather than single bits, and this parallel approach reduces code clocking speed through much of the code generator hardware, and/or may permit several code patterns for multichannel applications to be constructed using the same common memories.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for controlling the radial clearance between the rotor and stator elements in the turbine section of a gas turbine engine is disclosed. A cooling air valve is operatively disposed at the upstream end of the turbine section to control the admission of cooling air to the turbine in response to engine operating temperatures. In one specific embodiment the thermal growth of the case and the stator elements supported thereby is controlled by the valve. At low power conditions the case and the supported elements grow radially with the rotor in response to increasing gas path temperatures. At elevated conditions cooling air is flowable to the case to retard the thermal growth of the case and allow the rotor to grow radially toward the stator elements.
