Patent number: 8691341Abstract: A method of controlling a height of an encapsulant material on an inkjet printhead is provided. The method includes dispensing the encapsulant material on an outer portion of the inkjet printhead. The encapsulant material is then depressed to reduce its height on the outer portion of the inkjet printhead. The encapsulant material may be depressed directly after dispensing or before it completely cures. The encapsulant material may be completely cured before reducing its height. The height of the cured encapsulant material may be reduced by removing a top portion of the encapsulant material through machining operation. Reducing the height of the encapsulant material on the inkjet printhead minimizes the distance of the nozzle plate of the inkjet printhead to the printing media, thus improving print quality.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2011Date of Patent: April 8, 2014Assignee: Lexmark International, Inc.Inventors: Neal D. Erickson, Kirk L. Stechschulte, Steven R. Komplin, Ronald W. Bunn, Richard L. Warner, Girish S. Patil, Kyle B. Freels

Publication number: 20050177746Abstract: A method for providing network perimeter security assessment that involves a combination of perimeter security assessment disciplines is disclosed. A security review of a network perimeter architecture is performed along with a review of the security of data processing devices that transfer data across the perimeter of the network, a review of the security of applications that transfer data across said perimeter and a review of the vulnerability of applications or data processing devices within said perimeter from computers or users outside of said perimeter. Each of the reviews may be performed by comparison to a security policy of an enterprise that owns or controls the network.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2003Publication date: August 11, 2005Inventors: W. Bunn, Letitia Calvert, Mary Karnes

Patent number: 6558278Abstract: A method of determining the frequencies of a golf club entails suspending the golf club in a substantial free state and thereafter striking or engaging the golf club to cause the same to vibrate or oscillate. Once the golf club has been excited, the method entails measuring the natural frequencies of the golf club. More particularly, in the substantial free state, the club is suspended by a flexible connector which is secured to the grip end of the club.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2000Date of Patent: May 6, 2003Inventors: Julian W. Bunn, III, Alfred L. Wicks

Patent number: 6328660Abstract: A system and method for fitting a golfer with one or more golf clubs. The system or method comprises measuring one or more swing characteristics of a golfer and selecting a swing coefficient that is a function of one or more measured swing characteristics of the golfer. Thereafter fitting the golfer with one or more golf clubs based on a correlation between the swing coefficient and the natural frequency of the golf club selected.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 1999Date of Patent: December 11, 2001Inventor: Julian W. Bunn, III

Patent number: 5665012Abstract: The present invention entails a golf club head having a face, back sole and a leading edge extending between the sole and the face. The sole is shaped such that there are three distinct and separate Surfaces defined thereon. There is an intermediate surface formed on the sole that forms a plateau. On each side of the intermediate plateau there is defined on the sole an outer surface area. One outer surface area breaks away from the plateau and extends generally upwardly towards both the leading edge and the heel of the club. The other outer surface breaks away from the plateau and extends generally upwardly towards the leading edge and the toe area of the club.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 1996Date of Patent: September 9, 1997Inventor: Julian W. Bunn, III

Patent number: 5378220Abstract: A reusable yard waste container has a four sided rectangular shell which is open at its top end and has a flat multi-layered bottom. Two opposed sides of the shell have medial fold lines which allow the container to be collapsed to a flat orientation where it can be folded into a small package for storage. Located on the sides normal to the folding sides are upper and lower handles which facilitate handling of the container when full and erecting it from its collapsed orientation. Pockets at the bottom of the container receive weights to prevent the container from blowing away when it is left after being emptied. Snaps permit the top of the container to be closed when it is full. The container is constructed by placing four inwardly facing folds in the side walls of an elongate hollow cylindrical shell to form a rectangular cross-section shell with two pair of opposed sides.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 1993Date of Patent: January 3, 1995Inventor: Robert W. Bunn

Patent number: 4383810Abstract: The apparatus has a plurality of open-ended female dies with a movable lower male die positioned in the lower end of each one. A supply box is shiftable over the female dies to deposit concrete therein, following which a plurality of upper male dies are moved down into the female dies to compact the concrete therein into chairs. Wire supply means feeds wires through the upper male dies and into the concrete in the female dies before the concrete is compacted. After the wires have been cut above the female dies, the upper male dies are retracted and the lower male dies are moved upwardly to eject the compacted chairs from the female dies.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 1981Date of Patent: May 17, 1983Inventors: Norman W. Bunn, Christopher B. Bunn

Patent number: 4273522Abstract: A machine for making elongated articles of concrete or the like having reinforcing members extending therethrough, and in which at least one spiral conveyor forces concrete under pressure through a mold causing the machine to move forwardly by reaction as the material is forced against the molded portion of the article. At least one elongated reinforcing member extends through the machine and the mold, and the machine is provided with a support tube extending to the mold to receive the reinforcing member and to support the latter as concrete is directed into the machine. The support tube preferably has a longitudinal slot therein and is mounted to rotate around a longitudinal axis so that the tube can be rotated between a position with a slot opening upwardly and a position with the slot opening downwardly.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 1979Date of Patent: June 16, 1981Assignee: Dyform Engineering LimitedInventors: Norman W. Bunn, Christopher B. Bunn

Patent number: 3972695Abstract: Pressurized impure hydrogen gas from a hydrogen generator, bottled hydrogen, or other source is fed to a separate palladium purifier unit having an ultrapure hydrogen output for analytical use, and the like. A palladium-silver tube is inserted into a jacket tube to form a tube assembly which is coiled around a heated block. The jacket tube receives the impure hydrogen and the palladium-silver tube passes pure hydrogen which is transferred to an outlet for use with the gas impurities being discharged at a vent end of the jacket tube.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 1975Date of Patent: August 3, 1976Assignee: Trienco, Inc.Inventors: Charles O. Buckley, Julian W. Bunn, Jr.
