Abstract: A stir pot is provided including a stirring unit having an outer stir portion with an outer edge. Such outer edge defines a size and shape corresponding to a vertical cross-section of an interior surface of the pot along a diameter thereof. As such, the stirring unit is rotatably situated within the pot and adapted to rotate about central axis of the pot and the outer edge is adapted to scrape the interior surface of pot when rotating. Further provided is a rotating mechanism for selectively rotating the stirring unit.

Abstract: A system for registration of color separation images on a photoconductor belt in an imaging system operates to detect a position of an edge of the photoconductor belt. The registration system detects the position with the same laser scanner used for forming latent images on the photoconductor belt. The registration system includes a belt steering control system that steers the photoconductor belt based on the detected position to reduce deviation of the belt from a continuous transport path. The registration system also may include a scan control system that, based on the detected position, controls the modulation of laser beams scanned to form latent images on the photoconductor belt. By controlling belt steering and laser beam scanning, the registration system maintains the image quality of a final multi-color image upon transfer of registered color separation images to an output substrate.

Abstract: An archival mounting corner having a pocket for releasably securing a primary sheet relative to a secondary sheet. The pocket opening is defined by substantially parallel walls wherein one wall includes a non-parallel region. The mounting corner includes a base member defining one wall and a pocket member defining the remaining wall, wherein the base member includes a recess at least partially occluded by a pocket member. The mounting corner is formed of an inert material having an adhesive pad circumscribed by the periphery of the mounting corner.

Abstract: A pipe connector structure, for coaxial pipe sections having a common liner, and including a pair of flange members, constructed to be drawn together by suitable bolt or other attachment means, which flange members include flange bodies having remote flange ends that are inwardly and downwardly tapered and constructed to coact with pipe securement rings. Between such rings is a sleeve, split in two halves along a diameter thereof for positionment about the liner and constructed, if expanded radially outwardly by radial expansion of the liner, upon the application of internal pressure means, to come in contact with the inner surfaces of the machined flange members to delimit such radial expansion. Alternatively, where the liner is essentially non-radially expandable, then gaps in the split sleeve can be closed and such sleeve and flanges can act conjointly as to the liner to counteract radial liner burst pressures. Pipe ends to be coupled together are positioned against interior shoulders of the split sleeve.
