Abstract: A roll-up door assembly includes a header, a face frame, and a lift frame. The lift frame is removably coupled to the header and is configured to be conveniently discarded once the header is securely installed to the face frame. The header further includes links along at least one end of individual slats that comprise a door panel. The links and the slats are configured to be rolled and unrolled from a spiral as the door panel is opened and closed. The links include a noise abatement feature that is adapted to decrease a sound pressure level associated with the links impacting, for instance, one another during the process opening and closing the door. The links further include a friction reduction surface that reduces friction at the coupling of adjacent links.

Abstract: A multiple output reel module includes a reel wheel supporting a plurality of spindles. Mounted to each spindle is a reel. The reel wheel is rotatable to position one of the spindle and reel combinations in a loading position in which output media from a nearby machine is interconnected to the reel. The spindle and reel are rotated to load the reel with output media. A CPU monitors the status of the reel, and stops the loading when the reel is full. The CPU then rotates the reel wheel to position a second spindle and reel combination in the loading position. The output media is automatically positioned over a portion of the second reel, and the output media is automatically interconnected to the second reel with an over-center finger assembly. Then the output media between the two reels is cut and the second reel is loaded with output media.

Abstract: A universal driver tool pivotable into a plurality of angular positions is disclosed for use by a computer controlled robotic manipulator. Improved mechanism for connecting the driver tool to the pneumatic system of the robot is disclosed as is a technique for quickly changing the bit driver by the tool without requiring a complete tool change operation.
