A system and method for utilizing web that is free of tractor pin feed holes comprises the driving of the web along a predetermined path within the utilization device. A web guide is provided in an upstream location from a utilization device element. The guide engages width-wise edges of the web and forms the web into a trough to stiffen the web. A drive roller and a follower roller impinge upon opposing sides of the web and rotate to drive the web through the guide. The drive roller is located adjacent to the guide according to a preferred embodiment. A registration controller is utilized to synchronize the movement of the web with the operation of the utilization device element. The controller includes a drive controller that controls the speed of either the drive roller or the utilization device element to maintain the web and the utilization device element in appropriate synchronization.       Recently Added Patents Heating device and image forming apparatus Methods and apparatus for improving the typical running time of the bellman-ford algorithm Hydraulic elevator system Hydraulic clutch device Wind power generator Closure and interconnect systems and methods of using dry silicone gels in closure and interconnect systems Device and method for converting a potential   Randomly Featured Patents Insulating cover for steam discharge tubes X-ray diagnostic apparatus Optical signal processing apparatus Glazing panels and their bonding Delta dicarbonyl compounds and methods for using the same Dustpan with integral illumination source Soap dish Recombinant proteinase from clostridium histolyticum and its use for isolating cells and groups of cells Pillow with pockets containing deodorizer Silicon nitride ceramic and process for forming the same © 2006-2008 PatentGenius.
