Specifically, a valve plate body extends between an inner and outer diameter wherein the outer diameter in a first position is placed in close proximity to a first support structure and the inner diameter is placed in close proximity to a second support structure. Thus, stress of hydraulic fluid flowing through the arcuate inlet or outlet deflects the inner and outer diameters causing them to engage the first and second support structures such that stress is passed to the first and second support structures and the valve plate is stiffened. | 12-18-2008 |

20120085594 | Drive Arrangement for Machine Roomless Elevator - A drive arrangement for an elevator car and a machine roomless elevator incorporates a machine having a drive sheave, a pair of right and left car side sheaves disposed beneath the car, a counterweight with a pair of top mounted sheaves, and a hoist cable including a plurality of ropes. The car is shifted to one side of the hoistway and the car guide rails are shifted forward in the hoistway in order to create a large pocket in a rear corner of the hoistway for the counterweight. In this manner, the elevator car can nest beside the machine in the top of the hoistway limiting the required top hoistway space and creating a minimal hoistway footprint. | 04-12-2012 |

20080264561 | Method for Thermal Seaming of Polyimides - The present invention is a method for seaming a polumide material. The method involves forming an interface between multiple the polymide materials. Next, heat is applied to the interface to soften the polymide material. The temperature of the heat source is below the melting point of the polyimide material. Finally, pressure is applied to the interface to create a seam between the poluimide materials. | 10-30-2008 |
20100055373 | POLYMER SEAMING WITH DIFFUSION WELDS - The present invention is a method for seaming a polymeric material. The method involves forming an interface between a plurality of separate polymeric sheets of materials. Next, heat and pressure are applied to facilitate the diffusion of the polymer molecules at the interface. A diffusion weld is made when the polymer molecules diffuse across the interface. | 03-04-2010 |

20110314329 | SHARED ERROR SEARCHING - Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with shared error searching for web resource requests are described. A web resource request that includes one or more request strings is received and a error detection directive that identifies a first type of error to be located in a specified request string component is accessed. At least a portion of a first request string that corresponds to the specified request string component is searched, in a single pass, for the first type of error and other types of errors. Results with respect to the first error type are returned while occurrences of the first and other types of errors for are recorded for responding to subsequent error detection directives. Thus, a subsequent error detection directive for the other types of errors in the first request string component may be processed without re-searching the portion of the first request string already searched with respect to the first error detection directive. | 12-22-2011 |

20100096802 | HIGH THROUGHPUT SHEET ACCUMULATOR - An improved sheet accumulator for stacking serially fed sheets transported on a paper path includes a guide deck. Above the guide deck, a plurality of parallel belts are positioned to provide a driving force for sheets on the deck. Within the accumulator, a ramp apparatus is positioned across the paper path whereby sheets driven by the belts on an upstream portion of the accumulator deck are driven over the ramp apparatus and deposited in an accumulating region of the accumulator deck on a downstream side of the ramp apparatus. Sheets are stopped by an accumulator stop mechanism located at a downstream end of the accumulating region that prevents movement of sheets by the belts while sheets for an accumulation are being collected. When an accumulation is completed, the accumulator stop mechanism allows sheets to be transported from the accumulating region. | 04-22-2010 |
20100122514 | ENVELOPE TRANSPORT - An apparatus includes a first feed path configured to transport an envelope from an input at an envelope supply to an insertion location, and a second feed path configured to transport the envelope with a mail piece insert therein from the insertion location to an output. The first and second feed paths intersect at an intersection spaced from the insertion location. The paths are angled relative to each other at the intersection. | 05-20-2010 |
