Abstract: A load apparatus generally comprises a load that converts mechanical rotational energy to electrical energy. A rotor assembly is coupled to the load and includes a rotor shaft having at least one end portion with at least one extension portion that extends radially outwardly from a surface of the rotor shaft end portion. A coupling shaft couples to the rotor shaft, wherein the coupling shaft includes a cylindrical main body portion. The coupling shaft also includes at least one end portion that extends from the main body portion, wherein the coupling shaft end portion couples to the rotor shaft end portion. The coupling shaft end portion includes an exterior surface, an opposing interior surface, and at least one slot that extends from the interior surface and through the exterior surface, wherein the slot receives the extension portion therein such that the extension portion extends radially outwardly from the exterior surface.

Abstract: A modular a bracket which forms a cavity such that the bracket surrounds and supports an actuator. In one embodiment, the bracket is made of multiple pieces and also connects together without the use of fasteners. The pieces are connected together through the use of several attachment features, with a portion of each of the attachment features integrally formed as part of each half. The bracket also includes a plurality of alignment features integrally formed as part of the bracket. The alignment features support and properly position the actuator within the cavity. The design of the bracket reduces and simplifies design and tooling, and also has minimal components and fasteners, which also simplifies and reduces labor time.

Abstract: A computerized system for sending sponsored data is disclosed, including but not limited to a processor in data communication with a computer readable medium; a computer program containing instructions to monitor video data for products data presented in the video data; instructions to encode product advertising data for at least one of the products data presented in the video data; instructions to send at least one of a plurality of products sponsor passwords data to a first end user device for decoding the products advertising data encoded in the video data; instructions to receive message data from the first end user device; instructions to send message sponsor password data to a second end user device selected by the first end user device; and instructions to send the message data encoded using the message destination password data to the second end user device.

Abstract: The present invention provides an improved rotary internal combustion engine having: a housing structure (19) with an internal stationary cavity, an intake air aperture (23), an exhaust aperture (30), an ignition aperture (21) and a fuel aperture (22) located on the surface of the stationary cavity, a rotational body (15) which contains combustion chambers (17, 18) that form internal cavities within the rotational body.

Abstract: A method or corresponding apparatus manages deployment of a software patch (“patch”) by creating a given patch comprising at least one file and associating information with the given patch that prevents other patches from being installed over the given patch. In one some embodiments, patches are no longer delivered directly from a software engineer to a customer. Instead, the software engineer works with a patch manager that, among other tasks, may track a state of software on the customer's machine, allowing for installing another patch without producing adverse effects that may be caused by installing over the given patch. To install another patch, software on the customer's machine is set into a known state by uninstalling the given patch. Once in the known state, the other patch may be installed.

Abstract: A dolly for moving heavy loads over a supporting surface. Four axles are mounted on an elongated frame having a wood bolster for engaging the heavy load being moved. Wheels are rotatably attached to the outer ends of the axles. A resilient pad is positioned above each axle to allow each axle a degree of movement relative to the frame so that the heavy load may be moved over a slightly uneven and/or rough supporting surface without affecting the disposition of the heavy load being moved. Each wheel includes a cavity having a quantity of lubricating substance therein and is adapted to lubricate the axle it is mounted on as it rotates thereabout.
