Inventor: LANCASTER PATRICK R III
IPC: B65B11/04
Filed: 1999-08-10
Abstract: A leading end of packaging material is grasped in a packaging material holder while a load is wrapped. Packaging material is dispensed from a packaging material dispenser, and relative rotation is provided between the dispenser and a load to wrap packaging material around the load. The packaging material holder may be positioned on the rotating surface of a turntable but isolated from any electrical or fluid power source of a rotatable surface of the turntable. During the wrapping cycle, the packaging material holder moves downstream along the turntable, automatically releasing the leading end of the packaging material and automatically grasping a trailing end of the packaging material. The packaging material is weakened and then severed between the packaging material holder and the load. The packaging material holder is mounted to permit it to move upstream due to force exerted by the packaging material held in the holder.

Inventor: BOTTOMA ROBERT
IPC: A63B53/04
Filed: 1998-03-05
Abstract: The putter head (30) comprises a main body (32) that defines a front face (36). The front face (36) includes a plurality of projections (56) extending from the front face (36). The ends (57, 58) of the projections (56) define a plurality of individual contact surfaces for striking a golf ball. The plurality of projections (56) prevent a golf ball from contacting the front face (36) thereby resulting in a decrease of the golf ball general contact area. The putter head (30) provides improved control of a golf ball and also provides improved feel when the putter head impacts a golf ball.
Patent CA-2283088-A1 (CA)
Title: Analog circuit for an autofocus microscope system
Inventor: PRICE JEFFREY H
IPC: G02B7/28
Filed: 1998-01-14
Abstract: An analog circuit for an autofocus microscope system measures a degree of focus of an object directly from the video signal of a microscope CCD camera.  The circuit then returns an index to a host computer for the purpose of adjusting the position of the microscope's objective lens to bring the object in focus. Best focus ins found by comparing indices at several different vertical positions. The criterion adopted for determining the degree of focus is derived from the energy distribution of the video signal spectrum. The signal passes through a highpass filter, a gate (to remove scanning artifacts), a squarer and an integrator. The high frequency energy of the video spectrum is a maximum at best focus and as the optics defocus, the distribution shifts to lower frequencies. Low cost, real time autofocus is achieved with the analog circuitry of this invention, replacing more expensive dedicated real time image processing hardware.
