Abstract:
A non-circular can end for a container having walls which form an opening includes a corner-mounted pull tab opener secured to a severable panel portion by an integral rivet. The corner-mounted opener facilitates easy opening of the can end. A pair of generally parallel bead recesses on either side of the integral rivet stiffen the severable panel portion in order to facilitate bending of the panel aft of the rivet to easily open the can end. The severable panel optionally further includes a mustache-shaped scoreline to reduce the amount of force required to lift the opener. Tooling and a conversion press for converting shells into the non-circular can ends are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A tooling assembly for scoring a can end is provided. First and second opposing tool members cooperate to create a depression in the can end, and to form a scoreline within the depression. A conversion press for converting a can end shell into a can end, and a method for scoring a can end are also provided. The method includes engaging a first side of the can end with a score knife, supporting at least a portion of a second side of the can end with a score anvil, depressing the can end into a cavity of the score anvil to form the depression, and forming the scoreline within the depression. The depression and scoreline are formed substantially simultaneous within the same tool station of the conversion press. A sealant, which is applied to the scoreline, forms a pool within the depression, thereby completely covering the scoreline.

Abstract:
A system for cooling a power source enclosure may include a power source enclosure configured to substantially enclose a power source, and a cooling package, including an airflow provider, located separately from the power source enclosure. The system may further include a conduit configured to provide a fluid connection between a section of the airflow provider and an area inside the power source enclosure, wherein the conduit includes a first end disposed near the section of the airflow provider, such that during operation of the airflow provider a pressure differential exists between the first end and a second end, and wherein the second end is disposed near and in fluid communication with an area within the power source enclosure.
Abstract:
Various embodiments include a system comprising a remote unit operable to determine a geographic location of the remote unit, and to transmit data indicating the location of the remote unit, the remote unit coupled to a subject to be tracked, the remote unit operable to provide a stimulation to the subject, and a base unit operable receive the data indication the location of the remote unit, to determine if the remote unit is within a defined perimeter, and to signal the remote unit to provide the stimulation to the subject if the remote unit is not within the defined perimeter.
