20150042096 | FLEXIBLE WATER TURBINE - The invention relates to a water mill, power generator, for use underwater, having a flexible support shaft which permits the water current to orient the turbine axis substantially parallel to the direction of flow so that the force of the water on the blades is optimized for a given turbine, without the need for slip ring style connections between the generator at the turbine and the 5 anchored base. Optionally, the design features fins or cowlings on the flexible support shaft to further improve reorientation of the turbine with the water current or flow acting as the source of power; and/or output power links or power conditioning systems at the anchored base. The generators may be selected to meet low rotation operating conditions, and the entire system may be designed for particular ocean bottom and/or current parameters applicable to the 10 deployment. The power generator could be used to provide electrical power to underwater installations for military, security, oceanography, monitoring and oil & gas exploration purposes. | 02-12-2015 |

20080272032 | PRE-PRINTED CARD PROCESSING - After pre-printed cards are manufactured at least a corner of each card is imaged. It is then determined whether the position and orientation of markings in the image with respect to the corner are within tolerance. If not, the card is rejected. If the markings are, or include, indicia, these indicia may be identified to allow identification of the card. This allows a determination of whether the card is in an intended order, or it allows selection of the batch into which the card is placed. It also means that cards in a given set of cards arranged in a first order can be randomized by first buffering cards in buffers and then outputting the cards to an output conveyor. In one approach, each unique card in the set is sent to a different buffer such that like cards are buffered in the same buffer. Cards are then randomly fed from the buffers to form a re-ordered set of cards such that cards in the re-ordered set of cards have an order that is random with respect to the first order. In another approach, each buffer is allocated to at least one ordinal position. Then, after determining a random order for a set of cards, individual cards of the set are fed to the buffers such that each card is fed to a buffer having an ordinal position matching an ordinal position of the card in the random order. The cards are then fed out from each of the buffers to the output conveyor based on ordinal positions of the buffers. | 11-06-2008 |
20090239725 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ASSOCIATING AN INSERT WITH A CARTON - To associate a paper insert with a carton, a first identifier (such as identifying indicia) is read from the insert and a second identifier is read from the carton blank. A determination is made whether the first identifier and the second identifier indicate the paper insert is properly matched with the carton blank. If yes, the paper insert is affixed to the carton blank and the carton blank is folded around the insert and its margins glued together to form a flat sleeve surrounding the insert. If no, the mismatch may be indicated. | 09-24-2009 |
