20160121253 | High pressure compressed air/gas/steam filter - A high pressure compressed air/gas/steam filter, incorporating a heavy main housing body, flanges that are rigidly secured to the top and bottom of the housing body, the housing body having an inlet, an outlet port, and a central cavity into which the operating filter cartridge element locates. A manifold cage assembly, incorporating a variety of seals, secures with a manifold plate, that likewise connects through the use of tie-rod the filter element in place, for high pressure filtration. Once the top flange is removed, the integrated manifold cage, its manifold plate, and its secured filter, can simply be upwardly removed with bolts or fasteners from the main body housing, the filter element cleansed, or replaced and only these removed components can then be reinserted back into the heavy filter housing body, for retightening of its upper flange in place, readying the high pressure filter for further application. | 05-05-2016 |

20130344469 | Open Paradigm for Interactive Networked Educational Systems - An interactive networked classroom system including a teacher workstation with a base application, and one or more code segments. Each code segment includes a teacher version and a student version. The code segments include API links to a base application at the teacher workstation, or to helper functions such as plug-ins to the base application, such that the student version of the code segment has different rights, typically fewer and less powerful rights, than the teacher version of the same code segment. The teacher workstation forwards the student version of a code segment to student workstations that are in communication with the teacher workstation over a network facility; the student code segments may be embedded in a document corresponding to a classroom activity. Interactive classroom activities are then carried out using the code segments in combination with the base application. The use of scripting language (or applets) enables education personnel to create new educational contexts without requiring alteration of the base application code. | 12-26-2013 |

20090298627 | Ventilated CVT - The invention provides apparatus for cooling at least one sheave and/or an endless belt of a continuously variable transmission (CVT). As previously mentioned, the CVT is comprised of a drive clutch, a driven clutch, and the endless belt disposed about the drive and driven clutches. Both the drive and driven clutches include an axially stationary sheave and an axially movable sheave. Certain embodiments provide a ventilation air path through at least one sheave of at least one clutch of the CVT. In addition, certain embodiments provide a ventilation air path through both sheaves of at least one clutch of the CVT. Further, certain embodiments provide apparatus adapted to direct air proximate to an outer face of at least one sheave of at least one clutch inward to a central area of the at least one sheave when the at least one sheave is rotated in a direction of rotation. The apparatus also allows the at least one sheave and at least one clutch to be more aerodynamic, enabling the CVT to operate more efficiently. | 12-03-2009 |
