  • Patent number: 12565382
    Abstract: A motor driven roller transmission system for a conveyance assembly includes a transmission assembly connected between a first rotatable member and a second rotatable member, in which the first and second rotatable members are oriented at an angle from one another. The transmission assembly is adapted to efficiently transfer rotational motion of the first rotatable member to the second rotatable member. Rotation of the second rotatable member causes a conveyance surface to move in order to convey an object. The transmission assembly decreases the power required to drive the first rotatable member in order to move the conveyance surface by increasing the torque output of the first rotatable member, while also reducing the rotational speed required of the first rotatable member to drive the conveyance surface at a desired speed, thus extending the operational life of the first rotatable member.

  • Publication number: 20260008625
    Abstract: A conveyor assembly includes a belt drive system comprising a plurality of rollers mounted between side frames and about which a belt is disposed with the plurality of rollers comprising a driven roller, a tension roller and a plurality of conveyor rollers. The tension roller is mounted to the side frames by a tension assembly mount comprising a tensioner assembly. The tensioner assembly comprises a housing having a channel within which a slide mount is disposed for movement with the housing including an elongate opening at the channel with the tension roller including a shaft that is engaged with the slide mount at the elongate opening. The tensioner assembly further comprises a biasing member configured to apply a force to the slide mount to thereby bias the tension roller into engagement with the belt for applying a tension force to the belt about the plurality of rollers.

  • Patent number: 12175190
    Abstract: A method for partially publishing edits to a document is described. A first document including a first cell and a second cell is displayed on first user account on a first computing device and on a second user account. A second document including a linked version of the first cell and a linked version of the second cell is displayed. An edit of the first cell is received from the first user account and an edit of the second cell is received. In response to receiving an indication from the first user account that the edit of the first cell is to be published, the edit of the first cell is made to the linked version of the first cell, while the linked version of the second cell is unchanged so that the content of the linked version of the second cell no longer matches that of the second cell.
