20130323415 | METHODS OF APPLYING A LAYER OF MATERIAL TO A NON-PLANAR GLASS SHEET - Methods apply a layer of material to a glass sheet having a non-planar shape. The methods can each include the step of providing the glass sheet having an initial non-planar shape including a thickness defined between a first sheet surface and a second sheet surface. The method further includes the step of at least partially flattening the glass sheet into an application shape. The method further includes the step of applying the layer of material to the first sheet surface while the glass sheet is in the application shape. The method then includes the step of releasing the glass sheet to relax into a post non-planar shape. | 12-05-2013 |
20150251944 | METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR SEPARATING GLASS RIBBONS - Apparatus and methods of separating a glass ribbon are provided. In one embodiment, an apparatus for severing glass ribbon includes a plurality of manufacturing components arranged into a travel path, a glass cutting device, and a severing zone positioned in a downstream direction from the glass cutting device, where the severing zone comprising a targeted separation region along the travel path. The apparatus also includes an acoustic transmitter positioned in a first direction from the targeted separation region, an acoustic receiver positioned in a second direction from the targeted separation region opposite the first direction, and a manufacturing component positioned along the travel path in the downstream direction from the targeted separation region. | 09-10-2015 |

20150274328 | Automated Detection and Characterization of Earth-Orbiting Satellite Maneuvers - The process validates measurement data that are consistent with the current orbit or allowable maneuvers for Earth-orbiting satellites. The validated data may be processed to detect both large and small maneuvers; large maneuvers that may have been rejected by standard data validation process and small maneuvers that may have been missed. Large maneuvers may present as “trends” in the residuals above the noise threshold from multiple sensors. Small maneuvers may present as a deviation from the expected orbit. The OD engine is suitably configured (as per normal operation) to enforce data reduction on any outliers (e.g. >3 sigma). The maneuver estimation routines employ an objective function for selection of maneuver estimates that combines a residual fit to the current orbit and maneuver, orbit consistency and a penalty for validated but unused data (data that is rejected by the OD engine). The combination of enforcing data reduction in the OD engine of validated data while penalizing that reduction biases the estimation routines to select maneuver estimates that fit all or substantially all of the validated data. The maneuver estimation routines also suitably use a center time & duration window to select the maneuver estimate and iterate the process as new measurement data is received to refine the maneuver estimate. | 10-01-2015 |

20140197013 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR LOADING AND UNLOADING CONTAINERS - An apparatus and method for unloading a plurality of items from a carrier is provided. The items are preloaded in the carrier, in a column having a top row. The apparatus has a first conveyor which has a first end for approaching the top row, an opposite second end and a conveyor body connecting the first end and the second end. The first end has an end platform for receiving the top row and an arm associated with the end platform for transporting the top row onto the end platform. A second conveyor is operatively connected to the first conveyor for receiving the top row from the first conveyor and transporting the top row for further processing the top row. The apparatus also has a control unit for controlling the movement of the first conveyor and the second conveyor. | 07-17-2014 |

A drive body is connected for rotation relative to the ratchet housing about a second axis, perpendicular to the first axis. A yoke substantially encircles the body and is connected to the ratchet housing and a direction selector is coupled to the drive body and extends along the second axis. The direction selector is rotatable about the second axis with respect to the drive body between a first position, in which the yoke is fixed for counterclockwise rotation with the drive body about the second axis, and a second position, in which the yoke is fixed for clockwise rotation with the drive body about the second axis. A direction actuator is connected to the direction selector for rotation about the first axis to move the direction selector between the first and second positions. | 12-30-2010 |
