SAN RAFAEL – Autodesk, the global leader in computer aided design (CAD) software, is moving cautiously but steadily toward cloud computing.
According to Dr. Andrew Anagnost, vice president of suites and Web services, the company is beta testing several cloud-enhanced applications, with first commercial deployment scheduled for 2011.
Cloud computing allows users to access applications over the Internet instead of purchasing them for the desktop. It's a radical change from Autodesk's approach, which has been to license software suites for designers to download onto their own computers.
"Our approach is different than other software developers," said Dr. Anagnost. "We're not just moving our applications onto the cloud, but we're extending the power of the cloud to the desktop."
Autodesk's initial deployments are in the areas of visualization and simulation, he said. One application allows designers to place many different views of a product or building on the desktop in a very short period of time.

Spreading vicious lies. I always thought shorts serve a purpose, but sheesh, they sound more like scums than anything.
in @ $ 35.65..SOLID fundamentals, and yea agreed w/ shorts comment!!
Fundamentals are good with this company. NO DEBT! POSITIVE cash flow. Revenue and income are still growing at double digit percentage wise. Pays a dividend. That's the good news. Now the bad, some deals are rumored they can not close. There are "deferred revenue", and depend on your view, deferred revenue could be bad or good. The guidance is not very positive - actually, I think they should stop giving guidance. The range for current qtr earning is ridiculously huge. Last, but no least, expectations were not met. For a growth stock, that's not good.

Pitt County deputies say they are investigating vandalism at a church overnight as a hate crime.
Vandals spray painted the front sign of the Wesleyan Pentecostal Church of Washington, which is located just inside Pitt County on Highway 264. They also stenciled "Stop Hatin" in spray paint with hearts on a side door of the church.
The changeable sign had posted a controversial message on homosexuality. The vandals used red spray paint to strike through the message, as well as writing "WTF?", an acronym that includes an expletive.
Pastor Daniel Woods, who spent the morning covering up the vandalism, defends his initial message. "We don't believe it's hateful to tell something that is biblical and truthful. And if it is hateful then God himself is hateful, and we don't believe that," Woods told WITN News.
The pastor admits their messages are sometimes controversial. He says in the past people have responded by rearranging or even stealing the sign's letters, but nothing to this extent.
So far there are no suspects in the vandalism.

Local woman faces heroin charge in NYBy Darren Marcy
Staff Writer | July 12,2014A Florence woman and a New York man were charged with heroin possession after a traffic stop in Fort Ann, N.Y.
Police said the heroin was destined for distribution in Rutland.
New York State Police arrested Emily R. Newton, 20, of Florence and Raydell Antonetti, 28, of Bay Shore, N.Y., after a traffic stop early Tuesday on Route 149.
Trooper Mark Cepiel said officers stopped Antonetti, who was driving a gray Audi with a Vermont temporary plate on the rear, for failing to dim his headlights and for lacking a front plate.
Police said Antonetti gave a fake name and date of birth, claiming he didnt have any ID.
As one trooper dealt with Antonetti, police said, another officer smelled burned marijuana on Newton and in the car.
A drug-detection dog with the Washington County Sheriffs Department arrived and alerted to other drugs in the vehicle, Cepiel said.
Troopers said they found a plastic bag containing a large quantity of a substance packaged in such a manner as for distribution.
Police said they found about 3.5 ounces of heroin.
Its unusual to have that amount, but lately were seeing that more and more, Cepiel said.
Newton and Antonetti were arrested and each charged with two felonies: criminal possession of a controlled substance and possession with intent to sell.
During their search of the car, troopers found a New York state benefits card bearing Antonettis real name and date of birth, Cepiel said.
Antonetti was wanted for parole violations in Suffolk County in New York and had prior felony convictions, police said.
Troopers also charged Antonetti with misdemeanor counts of false personation and aggravated unlicensed operation of a vehicle, as well as operating without insurance, equipment violation for having tinted windows and for dazzling headlights, the arrest report said.
Antonetti and Newton were arraigned in the Fort Edward court and held in the Washington County jail.
Antonetti was held without bail. Newton was held on $75,000 cash bail or $150,000 bond.MORE IN This Just InThe Shumlin administration and legislative leaders are questioning aspects of a renewable energy...

LONG POND, Pa. (AP) - Rusty Wallace took the lead after teammate Jeremy Mayfield blew a tire on the final lap and then held off Jeff Burton by two car-lengths Sunday to win the Pennsylvania 500.
Mayfield, who won last month at Pocono International Raceway by nudging Dale Earnhardt aside on the final lap, blew his right-front tire a little more than a mile from the end. That allowed Wallace and Burton to get by, and Mayfield wound up 10th.
The victory was the fourth on the 2 1/2-mile triangular track for Wallace, tying him with Darrell Waltrip, Bill Elliott and the late Tim Richmond for the most on the mountaintop.
"He raced me hard and he raced me clean," Wallace said of Burton.
Poised for what would have been his series-leading eighth pole of the season, Wallace lost that two days earlier when Tony Stewart set a record for Pocono with a qualifying lap at 172.391 mph. Wallace, whose only previous victory this year came four months ago in Bristol, Tenn., said he would rather win the race.
"Now, I won't have to hear people saying, `When are you going to win again, Rusty?' " Wallace said.
Burton said he and Wallace let Mayfield get away at first by racing each other hard, occasionally side by side. But Burton said he had a faster car and had little choice. He knew he couldn't win from the third spot.
"If I had been leading the race on the last lap, then I would have won, not Rusty," he said.
Wallace knew he couldn't let Burton get in front of him but realized they had to run nose to tail to draft closer to Mayfield.
"I was running too hard in the tunnel turn and finally had to tell myself to calm down," Wallace said.
Then Burton began his move. Several times he got alongside Wallace as the three Fords battled it out during the final laps.
"He really did a good job pinching me off," Burton said.
Wallace and the other leaders benefited from a bad decision by Dale Jarrett's crew to take four tires during a late-race pit stop under caution. The rest took two, and Jarrett lost track position and fell from the lead to far back in the pack.
Ironically, Wallace has complained that he and his crew have made many bad decisions this season.
The win slowed the momentum of Stewart, who had won three of the past six races. Stewart finished 26th.

The present invention generally relates to fluid meters, and, more particularly, to an apparatus and a system for monitoring the bi-directional flow of water flowing through a household water meter.
Organizations that provide electricity and water to home or business users are typically referred to as "utilities." These utility companies bill their customers by applying price rates based on the quantities of product that the customer uses during a predetermined time period, generally a month. This monthly usage is measured by reading the consumption meter located at a service point, which is usually located at a point where the utility service line enters the customer's home, store, or plant. To determine water usage, for instance, the numerical differences between a meter reading at the start of the predetermined period and at the end of that period reveals the gallons of water used during the month. More importantly, utility companies perceive these meters as their "cash registers" and, as such, they spend considerable time and money trying to obtain accurate meter readings.
Generally, there have been two acceptable methods used by water utility companies for obtaining monthly meter readings. One method is known, generally, as an E.M.R. (Electronic Meter Reading) method wherein a person (i.e., a meter reader) in the field uses a rugged hand held computer and visually enters the numerical reading displayed on the meter. Another method involves AMR (Automated Meter Reading), which simplifies meter reading by using a device that attaches to the meter and obtains a reading which is then transmitted to a remote location for processing via radio frequency (RF), telephone, or coaxial cable line carriers.
In order to measure their customer's daily, weekly, or monthly water consumption, water utility companies use three types of meters: standard meters, electronic pulse meters, and encoded register meters. However, in certain installations, these meters have no devices that measure water flowing in a backward direction (i.e., backflow) through the meters. Typically, this backflow causes the reading on the meter to decrement thereby producing less than accurate numerical readings and water consumption estimates, which reduces the utilities revenue.
Accordingly, there exists a need for an apparatus and system that detects and measures both the forward and reverse flow of water through a water meter and alerting the utility company thereof of a reverse flow condition.
The present invention achieves the technical advantage by sensing both the forward and reverse flow of water through a water meter and recording the occurrence thereof.
In one embodiment, the invention is a fluid detection system adapted to detect the bi-directional flow of a fluid flowing through a fluid meter. Preferably, the system comprises a sensing circuit adapted to be coupled to the meter for sensing and measuring the quantity of fluid that flows through the meter as it flows in a first direction and a second opposite direction. The system also comprises an electronics module which is communicably coupled to sensing circuit for detecting and recording, at predetermined intervals, the number times in which the fluid meter hand sweeps in the first direction and the second opposite direction.
In another embodiment, the invention is a device coupled to a water meter for accurately detecting water consumption. Preferably, the water meter is an odometer-type meter having a rotating sweeping hand having a magnet disposed thereon. The device comprises at least two magnetic switches adapted to sense the passing of the sweeping hand and to provide a first and second output signal in response to water flowing through the meter in a first direction and a second opposite direction, respectively. The device further comprises an electronic module having at least two inputs for receiving the first and second switching output signals. Advantageously, the electronic module tracks and records the flow of water in the first direction and the second opposite direction through the meter, at predetermined intervals, based on the on and off status of the first and second output signals.
In yet another embodiment, the invention is a method for sensing and recording the bi-directional flow of water through a water meter. This method is achieved by the acts of sensing water moving through a water meter, measuring the quantity of water passing through a water meter, and recording, at predetermined intervals, the number of times a meter hand sweeps in a forward and reverse direction.
For a more complete understanding of the present invention, reference is made to the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 shows a bi-directional water measuring system coupled to a water meter in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 shows an electrical configuration of two sensing switches in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 3 is a switching diagram indicating the status of two magnetic switches when water flows in the forward direction through the water meter;
FIG. 4 is a switching diagram indicating the status of two magnetic sensing switches as water flows in the reverse direction through the water meter; and
FIG. 5 illustrates a water detection and consumption algorithm.
The numerous innovative teachings of the present application will be described with particular reference to the presently preferred exemplary embodiments. However, it should be understood that this class of embodiments provides only a few examples of the many advantageous uses and innovative teachings herein. Moreover, some statements may apply to some inventive features, but not to others.
FIG. 1 shows a bi-directional water measuring system 10 in accordance with the present invention. The system comprises a logical switch collar 12 coupled to a household or business water meter 14. In one preferred embodiment, the logical switch collar 12 is shown to be appropriately fitted over the perimeter lens of 15 of the meter 14, having a magnet 16 attached to a sweep-hand 18. Moreover, a microprocessor based electronic module 19 having memory is shown to be communicably coupled to logic switch collar 12 via cable 17.
In operation, the sweep-hand 18 turns clockwise as water passes forward through the meter 14, and sweeps counterclockwise as water passes in the reverse direction through meter 14. Typically one sweep, or rotation, of sweep-hand 18 signifies ten gallons of water flow i.e. consumption, for example. The magnet 16 attached to one end of the sweep-hand 18 is positioned such that it travels around the outer circumference of the meter 14 proximate the lens 15, passing close to the logical switch collar 12. The magnetic sensitivity of the logical switch collar's magnetic switches 20 and 22 and the strength of magnet 16 are coordinated to ensure proper operational overlap, as will be discussed shortly in reference to FIG. 2. As such, by tracking the number of sweeps of hand 18, in either direction, and distinguishing the sweep direction, and accounting for the sweep constant in gallons, the electronic module 19, in conjunction with the switch collar 12, accurately tracks and records into memory water consumption of water flowing in both the forward and reverse directions as it flows through the meter 14. It should be noted, however, that although the invention is used to monitor and record the bi-directional flow of water, any number of other liquids flowing through a meter may be detected and recorded, such as oil, for instance. In addition, although an odometer-type analog meter is illustrated, many types of analog meters may be fitted. For a more detailed description of the electronic module 19, cross-reference is made to commonly assigned co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/896,502 entitled "Optical Sensor for Utility Meter", the teachings of which are incorporated herein be reference.
FIG. 2 shows an electrical configuration of the logical switch collar 12 in accordance with the present invention. The logical switch collar 12 has two magnetic switches mounted therein, an event switch 20 and a direction switch 22 which are adapted to generate two logic outputs. The switch collar 12 has a cable 17 coupled thereto, including wiring coupled to event switch 20 and direction switch 22, as well as common line 25. Depending on the direction of the flow of water through meter 14, switches 20 and 22 magnetically sense the directional passing of magnet 16 as the sweep-hand 18 increments in the clockwise direction, or, conversely, as it decrements in the counterclockwise direction, as depicted in FIG. 1. That is, magnet 16 triggers each of switches 20 and 22 to either an on or off state as a function of water flowing in the forward or reverse directions through the meter 14. As a result, the electronic module 19 detects and records these switching events as they are transmitted from switch collar 12 via cable 17. It should be understood that even though switches 20 and 22 are illustrated, different types of sensors or switches may be used, such as a dry contact switch, a transistor switch, or an optical switch, for example.
Referring now to FIG. 3, there is shown a timing switching diagram indicating the status of event switch 20 and direction indicator switch 22 as water flows in a forward direction. Again, as the magnet 16 sweeps clockwise across the face of the meter 14, it causes the event switch 20 to first close when the magnet is proximate the switch. The direction switch 22 will be open momentarily since the magnet 16 is approaching switch 22 clockwise, as shown, and water is determined to be flowing in the forward direction through the meter 14. The electronic module 19 in response to the closure of event switch 20 will record water as passing forward through the meter 14 as the meter reading is likewise incremented.
Alternatively, FIG. 4 shows a switching diagram indicating the status of switches 20 and 22 as water flows in the reverse direction. That is, at a time when the event switch 20 is closed by the proximity of magnet 16, the direction switch 22 is already closed due to the magnet 16 approaching from the counterclockwise direction, and water is established as flowing in the reverse direction, due to the sweep-hand 18 being rotated counterclockwise. Advantageously, the end result is that as the meter reading decrements, the electronic module 19 still accurately records the event of water passing through the meter 14 in the opposite direction by recording it as a reverse pass. The electronic module records the total gallons flowing forward, and backward through the meter, allowing for accurate billing.
FIG. 5 illustrates a flow diagram of a method for detecting water consumption according to the invention. The method, denoted generally as 50, involves a sensing act 52 that senses the direction of water flowing through a water meter 14. The sensing act 52 is then followed by a measuring act 54 which measures the quantity of water through the meter in view of the direction of flow being ascertained. Next, act 56, detects and records the quality of water flowing in both the forward and reveres directions through the meter 14.
Advantageously, the invention accurately monitors and records fluid consumption at predetermined intervals in both directions, rather than reporting the net water flow which inaccurately reports fluid flow events.
Though the invention has been described with respect to specific preferred embodiments, many variations and modifications will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon reading the present application. It is therefore the intention that the appended claims be interpreted as broadly as possible in view of the prior art to include all such variations and modifications.

Online dating figures reveal Gold Coast and Brisbane men like girls with curves
- From: The Sunday Mail (Qld)
- March 16, 2014
CURVY girls are more likely to find a partner in Brisbane or on the Gold Coast than anywhere in Australia, a survey has found.
Trends in Queensland show a rise in popularity of the Rubenesque body shape among online daters.
"You define your own beauty. Size does not matter,'' single sales assistant Simone Frysteen, 23, said. "I'm happy in my own skin. I feel healthy.''
Fashion houses and Hollywood are under pressure to promote better self-image for women with a healthier body size, the part-time model said.
Singer Adele, chef Nigella Lawson, actress Christina Hendricks, siren Beyonce and model Kim Kardashian are some high-profile celebrities who identify as curvaceous in a world where big is beautiful too.
Joanna Barber, of online dating agency Are You Interested (ayi.com) said Brisbane was the sexiest city for curvy girls in all of Australia.
Women who identify as "slender" or "athletic" were still the most likely to be approached by a man online, she said.
But there has been a significant rise in demand for curvy girls in Queensland's southeast compared to the rest of Australia.
One in every seven men in Brisbane and the Gold Coast are clicking "yes" for plus-size sorts.
The data is based on 15,000 online interactions between heterosexual men and women over a 30-day period.
Brisbane and the Glitter Strip's top rating in a preference for plus-sizes was followed by Adelaide, Melbourne and Canberra.
It was almost 457 per cent higher than skinny-obsessed Newcastle which rated the lowest of all cities.
In the United States, a teenager has launched a petition for Disney to create a "plus-sized princess''.
Under the title "Every Body is Beautiful'', the 15-year-old said it was up to Disney to show "beauty comes in all shapes and sizes''.
The news comes with Queensland in the grip of a man-drought in the typical dating age bracket of 18-35 years, in places such as Cairns, Rockhampton and Toowoomba.
Ms Barber has a few dating tips for women of any body type if they want to get more matches and communicate with more men: Online data shows the top six leisure interests for a Queensland bloke include, in this order, AFL; beer; rugby union; Brisbane Lions; Queensland Reds and XXXX Gold.Originally published as Curvy girls have got the look

EVERETT — Against all odds, Everett made it interesting. In the end though, the Portland Winterhawks were just too skilled, too relentless and simply too good.
The regular-season champion Winterhawks finished off the eighth-seeded Silvertips with a dominating 5-1 victory in Game 6 on Monday to win the opening-round best-of-seven series.
Portland held Everett to only 13 shots, including one in the final period despite Portland holding a 3-1 advantage. At the other end, Portland pelted Everett's net with 52 shots, and at least half were good scoring opportunities.
Only a valiant effort by Everett goaltender Austin Lotz, who had 47 saves, kept the final from being far worse. Lotz finished the series with 215 saves on 242 shots, facing an average of more than 40 shots per game.

Everett made it interesting when Reid Petryk cleanly beat Portland goaltender Mac Carruth on Everett's first shot of the game to briefly give the Silvertips the lead.
After that, though, it was all Portland all the time.
Seth Jones and Oliver Bjorkstrand both scored twice for the Winterhawks, who will play either the Spokane Chiefs or the Seattle Thunderbirds in the second round.
Jones was an unpopular hero for Portland in Everett. The Silvertips held the rights to Jones, but he declined to sign. He ended up being traded and signing with Portland and was booed every time he touched the puck in Everett.
"I knew that was going to happen," Jones said with a smile. "It was exciting, though."
Jones said the Winterhawks did not feel any pressure, despite Everett having won twice in Portland.
"Not really," Jones said. "We knew that if we came out and played our game that we would win. We weren't guaranteeing the win, but pretty close. Everett really hung in there and really did everything they could. You have to hand it to them. They had some key players step up and play well."
Everett coach and general manager Garry Davidson wasn't surprised the way the series ended, but was hoping for a Game 7.
"There was 60-points between us in the regular season and that gives you an indication of where they're at and where we're at," Davidson said. "I was pretty excited the way our guys dug in and managed to win two games in the series. They came out and played a very good game against us. They wouldn't give us the puck all night long. They were really good."
Everett, the eighth and final seed in the Western Conference playoffs, shocked the regular-season champions with two wins in Portland. The Winterhawks were dominant in Everett, outscoring the Silvertips 23-8 in the three games that Everett had the home ice advantage.
Bjorkstrand scored two goals and had two assists in the concluding game with Taylor Leier scoring Portland's fifth goal.
"We really struggled to keep up with their pace and tempo," Davidson said. "When you are defending all night long like we were, that drains a lot of energy. We didn't manage the puck very well tonight. I don't think anyone gave us any hope of getting to Game 6. It was valuable experience for our group of young people. That's a real positive for us."
With Lotz returning, Everett has a key piece to build around for next season.
"He was very, very good," Davidson said. "He was going to be a good goalie for our organization and I think he has the potential to become a pro."
Josh Winquist did not have a point in the game despite being double shifted, but finished the series with six goals and an assist.
This is the first home playoff game in April for Everett since 2007 and only 1,977 were in attendance after the team averaged 5,062 in the regular season.

It seems surprising to me that Yahoo doesn't show this article in their Headlines for EXEL. This was a real interview with real perspective, not some the "anonymous" garbage that has been showing up around Cabo recently.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Never mind! I saw he is Bullish. I created a new name and account to be able to read his comments.Good to read a positive review.
duckduffer I can't get the SeekingAlpha articles.I tried getting them to fix it so I can but to no avail.What does page 2 say?All I get is page 1.Thanks.
The article was pointed out a week ago on this board.. As the article states...Dr. Schmidt did not mention a price target.
When I read this interview a week ago I also wondered why it wasn't picked up as a news item. It just goes to show how powerful the short cabal is in this stock, they even get to kill positive articles and then spin their own negativism.
Seeking alpha sent that article to me few days ago through e-mail.
The chart is bullish and we are going to test 6.5 in near term.

Shipments of wine directly to consumers from wineries in Napa and Sonoma counties, accounting for 69 percent of such shipments from U.S. sources, last year grew at 8.0 percent and 10.1 percent in value, respectively, helping push U.S. winery-to-consumer shipment value past that of wine exports for the first time, according to a new study.
[caption id="attachment_72116" align="alignnone" width="500"] Napa and Sonoma Counties dominate winery-to-consumer shipping. (source: ShipCompliant and Wines & Vines; click to enlarge)[/caption]
The value of direct shipments to consumers was $714 million from Napa County in 2012 and $286 million from Sonoma County, amounting to 49 percent and 20 percent shares of the $1.46 billion in such transactions, according to an annual report by Colorado-based regulatory compliance data clearinghouse ShipCompliant and San Rafael-based trade publication Wines & Vines.
"We hope that the data in this report will act as a lens for wineries, magnifying the opportunities that abound in the direct-to-consumer channel," said Jason Eckenroth, ShipCompliant chief executive officer. The study (shipcompliant.com/shippingreport) anonymously compared millions of transactions through ShipCompliant's software, which is incorporated into a number of direct-to-consumer order-processing systems, with the magazine's database of more than 7,400 wineries.
U.S. wine exports were an estimated $1.43 billion in 2012, according to recent figures from San Francisco-based Wine Institute. [See "California wine shipments dip for first time in 11 years," April 15, p. 2.] But U.S. winery-to-consumer volume was much lower than export volume, equivalent to 3.17 million standard 9-liter cases, according to the latest report. That's compared with the 47.2 million-case figure for U.S. wine exports, 90 percent of which come from California, cited by Wine Institute.
Yet winery-to-consumer orders are but part of all direct-to-consumer sales, which come sources such as retailers and third-party marketers such as wine clubs. For example, one major online retailer -- Wine.com -- sent about $60 million in wine to consumers in 2011, which is more than each of the total values of Oregon and Washington winery-direct shipments last year. Direct sales themselves are a fraction of the $22.0 billion in total U.S. wine sales last year.
[caption id="attachment_72117" align="alignright" width="300"] Direct shipments to consumers makes up 7 percent to 10 percent of production for smaller wineries, based on analysis of more than 7,400 wineries. (source: ShipComplliant and Wines & Vines; click to enlarge)[/caption]
However, it is a big deal for smaller wineries.

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for molding a thin-wall plastic shell. More particularly, the present invention relates to a molding apparatus and method utilizing a powder box and mold box wherein the mold box has a deeply recessed variable depth mold surface.
In processes for molding thin-walled plastic shells, a thermoplastic resin material is fed through an opening in a powder box to a mold surface of a mold box. Generally, the mold box and powder box are operatively connected such that the mold surface of the mold box is brought into close proximity of the opening in the powder box. The resin material is fed over the mold surface of the heated mold box and is melted into a molten resin film. The film is cooled to obtain the thin-walled plastic shell and is removed from the mold surface.
Currently, this molding process is accomplished with the powder box and mold box sealing where the two units meet; that is, at the top of the liner about the opening of the powder box and near the termination of the run off of the mold surface. This process allows the powder resin to contact the surface areas of the mold where such contact is not desired, causing waste and necessitating trimming of the finally formed part. Other methods known in the art of blocking this exposure, such as by using various insulating materials on the mold surface, still pose the problem of having to adopt special impacting and/or cooling, and/or brushing methods to keep them clean.
For example, the U.S. Pat. No. 4,790,510 to Takamtasu et al, issued Dec. 13, 1988, discloses a slush mold apparatus and method for molding film moldings such as surface coverings of interior parts of automotive vehicles. The powder box includes a skirt portion connected thereto having a lower edge which contacts the mold surface about its upper outer periphery. The skirt is a solid member which must be uniquely adapted to each unique mold surface configuration.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,773,844 discloses two mold boxes, each having a skin of thermoplastic material formed thereon. The mold boxes are then joined at margins under light pressure so as to separate salvage from the joined skins.
Presently there are two other methods being used to "control" thermoplastic resin powder flow (deposition on the shell mold surface) during the molding process. Only the second method selectively controls the powder placement.
One method grossly controls the flow of such powder, e.g., polyvinylchloride. The powder box is simply sealed to the shell mold on a perimeter flange. All mold surfaces interior to the powder box gasket are allowed to contact the powder thus forming (molding) a shell on the entire mold surface. The drawback to this method is that, on the average, 50% of the mold surface is not actual finished part surface (sometimes referred to as Class "A" surface). The shell molded on non-Class "A" areas is scrap material.
Another control method uses insulators mounted on non-Class "A" mold surfaces. The insulators and modulation of heat in these areas reduce the temperature of the exposed surface to the powder to a degree where the powder does not adhere, thus shell is not formed in the areas of the insulators. Such insulators are shown in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,683,098 and 4,716,003 owned by the assignee of the present invention.
The present invention provides an apparatus and method for sealing the mold about its periphery along a variable height narrow width band to form a narrow flange on the thin-wall shell molded therein. Accordingly, the present apparatus and method generate little or no waste and trimming is reduced. Further, the present invention provides an apparatus and method for providing such a narrow width band portion seal between the opening of the powder box and the periphery of the mold surface at deep recesses within the mold. Such deep mold surfaces are formed in a mold box such that common mold box peripheries cannot extend into the mold surface to contact the periphery of the mold surface about the shell to be formed and further have surfaces thereon in which waste thermoplastic powder can build up when the mold is uniformly heated. The present invention provides an apparatus and method for perfecting such a seal in deep molds as well as in more shallow molds by use of a core device connected to the open edge of a powder box and having a variable height edge that conforms to either deep or shallow molds. Such a device can be adapted for both deep and shallow molds such that a single device is not limited to either deep or shallow mold use and the device is adapted to carry a gasket retainer and seal gasket with a perimeter shaped to form a variable height small width band seal to form a narrow flange at variable heights on the molded shell.
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for molding a thin-wall plastic shell including a powder box having an opening for receiving and removing powder therefrom and a mold box including a mold surface having a predetermined outer periphery thereabout over which a plastic shell is molded and having an additional vertically exposed waste surface. Positioning means position either of the mold box and powder box between a neutral position wherein the opening is displaced from the mold surface and an operative position wherein the opening and the mold surface are positioned in proximity to each other. A selective charge application panel device is connected to the powder box to extend in sealed engagement with the periphery of the mold surface to perfect a variable height narrow width band seal about the periphery of the shell formed on the mold surface and to block access between the powder box opening and the mold surface by masking vertically disposed waste surfaces on the mold.
The selective charge application panel is comprised of a fiberglass/foam core contoured panel which attaches to the top of the powder box. On top of the panel is a metal or plastic contoured gasket retainer and an elastomeric seal gasket.
The panel is constructed in such a way so as to mate to the shell mold just outboard of the Class "A" areas. Mating surfaces in the mold are created to satisfy gasket sealing constraints.
When the powder is fed into the shell mold, it now can only contact the Class "A" areas plus a small perimeter band of material used to aid in subsequent part manufacturing processes.
Areas where scrap material was once made do not contact the powder, no shell is formed, and there is a reduction of waste. As the name indicates, the mold is selectively charged with the thermoplastic powder.
The present invention further provides a process for manufacturing a thin-walled plastic shell, the method including the steps of positioning a mold surface having a predetermined outer periphery and an opening of a powder box containing powdered resin to an operative position wherein the opening and mold surface are in proximity to each other. A selective charge application panel device is positioned about the opening on a narrow width band in sealed engagement with a variable height periphery of the mold surface. A sealed joint is perfected between the opening and the periphery of the mold surface to block access to vertically disposed waste surface on the mold. A part is molded from the resin on the mold surface inboard of the narrow width band portion. The molded part is removed from the mold surface.
Other advantages of the present invention will be readily appreciated as the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a mold apparatus constructed in accordance with the present invention including a selective charge application panel that seals a narrow width band portion and vertical waste surfaces on the perimeter of a mold;
FIG. 1A is a perspective view of the powder box of FIG. 1 shown in an inverted position and filled with thermoplastic powder;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the powder box in FIG. 1 showing it assembled to a heated mold that is partially broken away;
FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic view of the connected apparatus rotated to expose the powdered resin to the mold surface;
FIG. 4 is a diagrammatic view of the connected apparatus returned to the original position having a part molded thereon; and
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a shell mold part removed from the mold apparatus of FIG. 1.
An apparatus for molding a thin-wall plastic shell constructed in accordance with the present invention is generally shown at 10 in the Figures. The apparatus 10 includes a powder box generally shown at 12 containing a powder resin 13 therein and a mold box generally shown at 14. The powder box 12 and mold box 14 are clamped together by suitable means well known in the art.
An alignment mechanism 16 of the type well known in the art would be used to align an opening 18 in the powder box 12 with a mold surface 20 of the mold box 14. The alignment is accomplished as the powder box 12 is elevated to cause the opening 18 and mold surface 20 to be displaced toward each other to an operative position as shown in FIG. 3 wherein the opening 18 and mold surface 20 are positioned in proximity to each other. Such means for positioning the powder box 12 can be in the form of an elevator commonly used in the art. Alternatively, the mold box 14 can be a moveable member positioned relative to a fixed powder box 12.
The mold surface 20 can be an electroform of nickel composition having suitable thermal conductivity as is well known in the art. The mold surface 20 defines the shape of the part to be molded. As shown in the Figures, the mold surface includes a deeply recessed mold surface 20a with joined offset surfaces 20b-20d surrounded by a variable height periphery 20e. The surfaces 20a-20e are uniformly heated to cause thermoplastic powder to melt and cure to form a molded part 21 having a variable height peripheral flange 22 of lesser dimensions than the peripheral surface 24 of mold box 14. In other words, the predetermined periphery 22a of the part 21 to be molded is spaced inwardly from the actual periphery 26 of the mold surface 24 to form a narrow width band region 28. During a molding operation, when the mold box 14 and powder box 12 are brought into close proximity, a peripheral gasket 30 on the powder box 12 engages the peripheral surface 24 along a gasket contact path 32 thereon to form a narrow width band portion corresponding to flange 22 around the molded part 21.
The mold assembly 10 is of the type for molding a thin-wall plastic shell from a thermoplastic powder. To achieve this end, the powder box 12 includes an inner chamber 34 and contoured selective charge application panel 36 for containing the powder thermoplastic resin 13 therein.
One aspect of the present invention is that the contoured selective charge application panel portions 36 include gasket sealing means generally indicated at 30 that are held in a gasket retainer 38 connected on a panel 40 of the contoured selective charge application panel 36 that extends around the perimeter of the powder box 12. The panel 36 includes different width masking portions 40a, 40b, 40c that extend inwardly of the interior of the mold box 14, shown partially broken away in FIG. 2, when assembled to the powder box 12.
The gasket 30 is formed along variable height portions 38a, 38b, 38c of the retainer to seal along a gasket contact path 32 on the mold box, shown in FIG. 1, to form the sealed narrow width band region 28 as well as the vertically extending reduced area waste surface regions 14a, 14b on the mold box 14 that form triangular segments 21a, 21b on the molded part 21 as shown in FIG. 5. The gasket 30 extends across flange segments 12a, 12b, 12c of the powder box 12 so that the connection between the powder box 12 and the mold box 14 perfects a seal therebetween to prevent any loss of powdered resin from the assembled components while limiting the extend of powder flow onto portions of the mold box that are considered waste regions, e.g., surfaces on a heated mold on which thermoplastic powder will be fused and cured during a mold process and that require trimming from a finished mold part extracted from the mold box following the mold process.
More particularly, in accordance with the present invention the gasket 30 is held in place on the panel 40 and is positioned against the mold surface 20 after the powder box 12 is elevated and connected to the mold box 12 in a known manner. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the positioning of the gasket 30 provides a variable depth narrow width band portion 28 around the shape of the molded part 21 that reduces the area of the waste surfaces 21a, 21b that are formed on the part 21 during a molding process in which all parts of the mold box 14 can be heated to the same temperature so as to avoid thermal differentials therein that might otherwise cause differential strain with resultant crack formation in the metal forming the mold box 14. The resultant molded part 21 has a variable height periphery 22 shown in perspective in FIG. 5. The periphery 22 is used to assist in the removal of the molded part 21 from the mold box 14 following a mold sequence wherein the mold box 14 is heated by oil or air in a manner as set forth in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,217,325; 4,331,626; and 4,621,995 owned by the assignee of the present invention.
Furthermore, another aspect of the present invention is that the panel 40 of the powder box 12 extends into the mold box 14 to prevent the thermoplastic powder from contacting the entire surface of the heated mold. In many heated molds a substantial portion of the planar surface of the mold box 14 is not actually used to form a finished part surface and as a result there is the possibility of substantial waste material that requires trimming to form the complete plastic molded shell part.
By virtue of the panel portion 40 of the present invention, the mold box 14 is masked at waste surfaces on vertical portions 14a, 14b of the mold box 14 at a point horizontally inboard of the perimeter of the finished shape of the molded part 21 so as to cause the mold box 14 to be only selectively charged with the dry thermoplastic powder during the dumping of material or other distribution of the powder as for example when the mold box 14 and powder box are supported on a multi-axis rotation system for centrifugally distributing the powder material onto the heated exposed surfaces of the mold box 14. Thus, when the dry thermoplastic powder is dumped from the powder box 12 into the mold box 14 when the joined boxes are inverted as shown in FIG. 3, it can only contact the surface 20 and the variable height narrow band portion 28 around the molded part 21. The masking portions 40a, 40b, 40c cover the vertically extending waste surfaces 14a, 14b, 14c to prevent build up of thermoplastic powder thereon. Each of the masking portions have inclined ends 40a', 40b', 40c' to facilitate the draw between the powder box 12 and the mold box 14.
Consequently, no scrap material is formed on the portions of the heated mold part 14 that do not require shell material and there is a commensurate reduction of waste and the elimination of a trim step.
The advantage of the aforedescribed apparatus and method is that it eliminates the need for separate heating zones on a mold box to prevent build-up of waste material on such molds. Furthermore, it eliminates the formation of partially deposited residual material on thermally insulated cold surfaces of the separate heating zones that must be vacuumed away after every part cycle to prevent casting defects. Furthermore, such residual partially cured material collected in the vacuum cleaning step cannot be recycled and must be scrapped.
As stated in the summary of the invention, the panel 40 can be fabricated to have an outer cover 44 of fiberglass and a core 46 of polyurethane foam. The retainer 38 can be a metal or plastic clamp or groove part and the gasket 30 can be an elastomeric material suitable to applications of the invention, rubber being one suitable material.
Another feature of the present invention is that the selective charge method and apparatus described herein requires less maintenance compared to systems in which insulators or selective heating circuits are used on the heated mold. When such insulators or separate heating or cooling circuits are connected to the mold box they must be removed each time that a mold is repaired or surface cleaned. After the repair or cleaning step is performed the insulators or selective heating circuits must be reattached in a time consuming procedure that unduly complicates production scheduling while increasing downtime for a particular mold apparatus system.
In the present invention the use of a powder box with a selective charge application panel configured to form a narrow width band portion around the periphery of the finished mold part 21 eliminates the requirement of ancillary part connections on the heated mold 14. The elimination of add-ons on the molded part prevents contamination problems as for example when powder particles of one color or type are trapped within a poorly sealed insulator of the type shown in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,683,098 and 4,716,003 so as to fall into a different mold at a later time to create undesirable imperfections in a later formed molded part. Such defective shells have to be scrapped.
The selective charge method and apparatus of the present invention also extend tool life of heated mold boxes since the mold boxes used with a powder box having the selective charge application panel and panels of the present invention do not require a temperature differential across different surface regions thereon and as a consequence there is a lesser tendency to cause strain levels in a mold box configuration that can lead to cracks and ultimate failure of the mold part.
The masking effect of the selective charge application panel of the present invention to produce selective charge of a heated mold surface conforming to the shape of a finished part plus a narrow width band portion therearound, the whole upper tool surface (whether all or only a portion of the tool surface is used to form a shell part thereon) can be heated to the same temperature to reduce strain differentials in the mold heretofore experienced in other mold box heat and insulation systems utilized to minimize powder waste.
The method of the present invention includes the steps of providing a heated mold box having a shell mold with a preselected interior area thereof devoted to formation of a shell part having a shape corresponding to the interior area and including at least a second interior area with a vertical height on which waste material can be deposited and uniformly heating both the first and second interior areas to the same molding temperature. The method further includes the step of providing a powder box for containing thermoplastic powder having a selective charge application panel thereon configured to form a gasket contact path on the mold box that forms a narrow width band portion around the interior surface area and that is positioned at variable depths around the interior surface area to reduce the amount of vertical side surface exposure on the heated mold on which waste material can be deposited. Thereafter joining the shell mold and the powder box and distributing thermoplastic material on the heated shell mold to form a narrow width band area that extends from the perimeter of the mold part and that varies in height to mask the vertical height of the second interior area on which waste material can be deposited so as to reduce waste of thermoplastic powder by limiting deposition thereof to the narrow width band portion and the first interior area.
Unlike prior art assemblies, very little if any trimming of the part 21 is required because the powder from the powder box is only disposed over the portion of the mold surface 20 defined by the periphery 22 which corresponds exactly to the extent of the part to be formed. The present invention can be adapted so as to be usable with several molds having varying depths as the powder box 12 can be configured to different extents depending upon the vertical and horizontal position of vertical waste surface 14a, 14b on the mold box 14 that must be masked by the gasket 30. Thus, the present invention provides a sealed chamber in deep molds that cannot be reached by conventional powder box configurations.
The invention has been described in an illustrative manner, and it is to be understood that the terminology which has been used is intended to be in the nature of words of description rather than of limitation.
Obviously, many modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings. It is, therefore, to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims wherein reference numerals are merely for convenience and are not be in any way limiting, the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described.

Valentine's Day: Rational Romance and Operational Decision Management
cheryl wilson 270003VHSH email@example.com | | Tags:  business-rules decision-management decision-support business-rule-management
0 Comments | 2,828 Visits
I'm not much for Valentine's Day, but I'm naturally fascinated by the laws or luck of attraction, fatal or forever. For me, this idle fascination goes beyond biology and genetic pressure, I pay attention because human couplings are hot beds of decision making (no pun intended) – from finding the near-perfect match to preventing nothing short of a chemical disaster.
So on the eve of another Hallmark holiday, this one for lovers, I started to think about how better decision management could lead to better decision making in how people select mates -- how to apply what operational decision management (ODM) technologies (i.e., business rules and events) do for businesses to the business of love. I'm imagining a custom ODM App that would help people prevent sub-optimal decision making in the throes of hormonal, emotional, cultural or circumstantial biases by applying a consistent set of automated rules and responses based on detached wisdom. A smart Love Coach.
In applying intelligent decision automation capabilities to date selection, you would embed your expert knowledge of what you want in a mate as rules in the system. You could even bring in the outside expertise and wisdom of friends, family or therapists to determine the right conditional rules and responses based on your goals and preferences. For example, you would be able to write a rule, in natural language, that specified: "If person has never been married and age is > 45 years and friends and domestic pets number < 3, then reject (no matter how much he or she makes you laugh)." Or you could easily and quickly change that rule based on new information or social conditions to: "If person has never been married and age is > 45 years and profession is doctor/yoga instructor/fire fighter and time spent on dating sites is < 6 months, then trigger evaluation over coffee."
You could even set up the system so that it monitors your emotional and physical states and makes automatic recommendations based on specified goals and conditions. For example, if your hours of sleep fall below a certain threshold for a specified length of time, you receive an alert that the quality of your decision making has been impaired and you should avoid any sleepovers.
This post is a bit tongue-in-cheek but its intent is to underscore one of real benefits of ODM to businesses – the ability to take any bias out of the transaction or interaction, whether it be with a customer, supplier, partner or employee, because the decision logic is based on the detached wisdom of your subject matter experts and then applied consistently, within context, across processes and applications.
In writing this, I was reminded of a 2011 post on James Taylor's blog titled "Eliminating bias and valuing customers with Decision Management Systems." It's a post about a loyal customer's disappointment with a company; a post that asked the question "Would a decision management system have tried to charge me $60 to change a light bulb (and lost my business)?" The answer was no. The answer is no. A decision management system wouldn't charge a loyal customer $60 to change a light bulb and risk losing her business if it was based on the automated wisdom of its business experts and in the context of historical data. This is why decision management systems are needed in any decision-intensive areas of human endeavor where success relies of the quality and timing of frequently occurring decisions; where the desired outcome can be derailed by inconsistent and inaccurate application of policy to those decisions.
And if there ever is a custom Love Coach App based on intelligent decision automation technology, it wouldn't recommend that you over-ride your own expert dating policies for a primitive response or circumstantial yearning (unless, of course, you established the right conditions for such an exception).
Happy Valentine's Day.

A year out and about
Bruce Smith
A year out & about
After waking up one Saturday back in 2007, we decided to start saving to go travelling. After 12 months of hard saving living in a pokey one bedroom flat in Stoke Newington we finally had the cash and tickets to venture out via Heathrow.
This book documents the 11 months of our adventure from a Captain Jack Sparrow tuk tuk driver in Cambodia to a quality Kevin Keegan story in India.
