Abstract: An interlocking panel system for top-down installation on an underlying structure including a plurality of panels, with an uphill course and a downhill course where each panel is generally rectangular, having an uphill edge and opposing downhill edge. An interlocking member is disposed along the uphill edge, and a receiving member adapted to receive the interlocking member and a joining flange are disposed along the downhill edge. A panel of the uphill course is affixed to an underlying structure via fasteners through the joining flange. The interlocking member of a panel of the downhill course is insertable into the receiving member of the uphill course, and the position of the panel of the downhill course is adjustable within the span of the receiving member.

Abstract: An interlocking panel system for top-down or bottom-up installation on an underlying structure including a plurality of panels, with an uphill course and a downhill course where each panel is generally rectangular, having an uphill edge and opposing downhill edge. An interlocking member is disposed along the uphill edge, and a receiving member adapted to receive the interlocking member and a joining flange are disposed along the downhill edge. A first panel is positioned on an underlying structure. In top-down installation, a clip is disposed along the downhill edge of the first panel and affixed to the underlying structure, and a second panel is engaged with the receiving member of the first panel. In bottom-up installation, the first panel is affixed to the underlying structure, and a second panel is engaged with the interlocking member of the first panel, and then affixed to the underlying structure.

Abstract: An inductor including common mode and differential mode flux paths. The inductor comprises a first core having a first connecting portion. A first segment extends from a first end of the connecting portion. A second segment extends from a second end of the connecting portion and first bridge segment extends from a middle of the connecting portion. A first wiring arrangement is at least partially disposed around the first segment. A second core has a second connecting portion. A third segment extends from a first end of the connecting portion. A fourth segment extends from a second end of the connecting portion and a second bridge segment extends from a middle of the connecting portion. A second wiring arrangement is at least partially disposed around the third segment. A first suspension connects the first segment to the fourth segment. A second suspension connects the second segment to the third segment.

Abstract: A process is described for processing metal which includes clock rolling a metal plate until the desired thickness is achieved to form a rolled plate. Sputtering targets and other metal articles are further described.

Abstract: An inductor includes common mode and differential mode flux paths. The inductor comprises a first core having a first segment, a second segment extending from the first segment and a first bridge segment extending from the second segment; a first wiring arrangement at least partially disposed around the first segment; a second core having a third segment, a fourth segment extending from the third segment and a second bridge segment extending from the fourth segment; and a second wiring arrangement at least partially disposed around the third segment; wherein the first segment, second segment, third segment and fourth segment cooperate to promote the common mode flux path, and the first bridge segment and the second bridge segment cooperate to promote the differential mode flux path.

Abstract: A means for providing support to the human hand, by providing a domed protuberance, or eminence, shaped to support the palmar aspect of the human hand, having a raised portion (1) and optional base portion (3) for supporting or providing tactile comfort for the wrist, forearm, fingers and thumb. The device, in the typical embodiment, is made of a flexible material so that it can absorb impact forces upon pressure, without causing potential harm to the tissues that the device comes into contact with through touch. A plurality of bumped eminences (7, 5) may help to improve tactile forces, provide comfort, grip, relative dynamism, and may improve circulation, as opposed to a smooth surface. The device can rest upon a flattened surface such as a table, a desk, the floor, or even a bed, providing support for the anatomical structures of the human hand, most especially, the boney architecture, once the hand is placed in contact with the supporting device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for printing are disclosed. In one arrangement, the systems and methods pertain to receiving information with a printing device regarding the location of data to be printed by the printing device, obtaining the data to be printed via a network, and printing the data as a hard copy document.

Abstract: Printing a print job on an image producing device by storing print data from the print job to an external storage device, retrieving the print data from the external storage device to the image producing device, and generating an image for the print job using the image producing device.

Abstract: A device and procedure for self-treating the bony architectural alignment of human feet in a non-standing position. The methodology utilizes a known biomechanical adjustment device called the Activator Adjustment Instrument 30 when performed by a caregiver, or new self administered devices. The non-standing version of this previously unknown device provides a surface board 40 with a at least one rubber, or similar material, stylus tips or stimulating members 46 connected to an automated impulse based mechanism for delivering the impulses necessary to adjust the foot's bony architecture. Whether applied through the Activator Adjustment Instrument or the self-administered device, preferably the stylus tips are sized and employed to adjust a succession of regions of the arches of the a person's medial longitudinal arches, lateral longitudinal arches, and transverse arches including the longitudinal center, thereby to assist in restoring and maintaining the natural architecture of the foot.

Abstract: A procedure for self-treating the bony architectural alignment of human feet. The methodology providing a panel with a series of pads thereon to permit adjustment of the bony architecture of a person's feet simply by standing in sequence on the various pads. Preferably the pads are sized and employed to adjust a succession of regions of the arches of the foot medial longitudinal arch, then the lateral longitudinal arch, then the transverse arches, thereby to assist in restoring and maintaining the natural architecture of the foot. Preferably the pads are supported by foam washers enabling the user to add or remove washers to increase or decrease the height of the pads to accommodate a variety of foot types and intensities of desired stimulation.

Abstract: A shoe assembly is described which is designed and constructed to permit and enhance the normal action of a human foot received in the shoe assembly during a stride and while standing. Among other things, the assembly includes a heel shaped to approximate the lower and rear shape of the calcaneum bone of the human foot, and separate relative moveable pads underlying the lateral arch and various contact points in the forefoot area of the human foot. Also, the thickness of the heel area is substantially the same as the thickness of the toe area, thereby to maintain the skeletal and muscular structure of the body above the foot in its natural position.

Abstract: An improved flexible leader particularly suited for use in conveying the ink ribbon from a ribbon cartridge to the print point of a printing machine or typewriter is disclosed. Preferably, the leader is formed as an integral member having discontinuities therein defining bending points at which said leader is flexible. The leader can be flexed in only one direction, whereby the inked surface of a typing ribbon is never in contact with said leader, thus preserving its integrity.
