Title: Sortation system for cigarette packs
Inventor: EISENLOHR GERALD M
IPC: B07C5/36
Filed: 1992-04-14
Abstract: A sortation system for separating products such as returned cigarette packs. A conveyor system moves the products in a predetermined orientation and minimum spacing past a bar code reader. A turnstile device contains a plurality of diverting bars which are selectively rotatable across the conveyor path in either direction to eject selected products either to the right or left as desired. A processor controls the turnstile device based upon bar code information to separate selected products and to allow the remaining products to remain on the conveyor.

Abstract: Méthode permettant de réduire les contraintes d'oxydation cellulaire par radicaux libres chez les animaux homéothermes présentant des symptômes de toxicité causés par les radicaux libres. La méthode consiste à: confirmer la présence chez l'animal de contraintes d'oxydation cellulaire causées par des radicaux libres; déterminer quels oligoéléments minéraux sélectionnés dans le groupe constitué de cuivre, de zinc, de fer et de manganèse avec ou sans sélénium, sont nécessaires pour renforcer et maintenir le fonctionnement des enzymes liées aux accès d'oxydation des granulocytes neutrophiles et des macrophages présents dans l'animal; préparer une composition contenant des quantités efficaces d'au moins un des minéraux susmentionnés (cuivre, zinc, fer et manganèse) sous forme d'un chélate aminoacide présentant un rapport ligand/minéral d'au moins 1:1, un poids moléculaire d'au plus 1500 daltons et une constante de stabilité comprise entre 106 et 1016, avec ou sans des quantités facultatives de sélénium pouvant être présent soit sous forme d'un chélate aminoacide ou de sélénium inorganique; administrer la composition à l'animal, de préférence par voie orale. L'existence de contraintes d'oxydation cellulaires par radicaux libres est confirmée de préférence par l'analyse directe de l'activité des enzymes d'oxydation sélectionnées dans le groupe constitué de CuZnSOD, de glutathion-peroxydase et de catalase.

Abstract: A wrapping machine, particularly for wrapping cigarette packets in wrapper film, includes a series of endless band conveyors (148, 152, 156, 166, 170) carrying pushers (150, 154, 158, 172) for moving successive packets (191) along a straight wrapping line. One of the pushers (158) is heated to seal a wrapper seam. The packets pass betweeen opposed spaced surfaces (153, 180) which are resiliently urged togther so as to increase frictional drag on the wrapper so as to ensure wrap tightness and good contact with the heated pusher.

Abstract: The invention relates to a guide-rail arrangement for a winter-garden awning or the like, an awning canvas being arranged on an awning-canvas winding shaft and the front end of the awning canvas being provided with an opening-out profile which is guided, on both sides, in in each case one guide rail and is retained in a stressed state by means of a positive-return system, and the guide rails extending perpendicularly with respect to the awning-canvas winding shaft and being retained, by retaining devices, at a distance from a surface which is to be shaded, such as the glass roof of a winter garden. In order to achieve a possibility for fastening independently of the respective distance and inclination angle between roof and guide rail, the invention provides that the retaining arrangement (11) exhibits two retaining legs (13, 14) which are connected pivotably to one another and to a fastening part (12), can pivot about a horizontal pivot axis (10), and on whose free ends there are, in turn, arranged connecting parts (21, 22) which can pivot about a horizontal pivot axis and are displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the guide rails (9) and are connected thereto. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A process is disclosed of accelerating the preparation of a photographic emulsion containing tabular silver halide grains exhibiting a reduced degree of total grain dispersity. A dispersing medium is provided containing bromide ions, and a population of silver halide grain nuclei containing parallel twin planes is formed in the dispersing medium. A portion of the grain nuclei are ripened out, and then the silver halide grain nuclei containing parallel twin planes remaining are grown to form tabular silver halide grains. A polyalkylene oxide containing both hydrophilic and lipophilic block units is selected from among those known to be capable of reducing total grain dispersity when present during nucleation. However, in this process precipitation is accelerated while maintaining low dispersity of the total grain population by forming twin planes in the grain nuclei within the pAg and temperature boundaries of Curve A in Figure 1 and by delaying introduction of the polyalkylene oxide block copolymer surfactant until after the silver halide nuclei containing twin planes have been formed.

Abstract: Shaped cushions for breathing masks (3) comprising an annular moulding (9) having an inner wall (10) and an outer wall (11) whose free edges (12, 16) are connected to one another in an air-tight manner and form an inflatable pad (8) which extends from the edge (7) of the breathing mask (3) radially inwards and outwards and is thus suitable for cushioning the free edge (7) of the breathing mask, are usually made of natural rubber by the dip process. After repeated steam sterilization they have a short service life. A shaped cushion resistant to steam sterilization can be produced by injection moulding of a soft elastomeric plastic in that the edge of its inner wall is, after an expansion by which the pad is tilted radially inwards, then connected to the edge of its outer wall. In this way, the shaped cushion can be formed from a silicone rubber, in particular. <IMAGE>

Abstract: (Object) To improve the drivability by controlling a target engine speed according to an engine load and a vehicle running condition to ensure an actual engine speed. 
     (Constitution) In controlling a speed ratio of a continuously variable transmission, an adaptation factor A as an element for deciding a target engine speed is computed according to constants a and b, an average engine load ϑths, and an average vehicle speed change quantity ΔVs, i.e., by the expression of        A = a ϑths + b ΔVs          . Even when the average engine load ϑths changes because of fluctuation in an accelerator opening, various running modes can be decided by the adaptation factor A depending upon both the average engine load ϑths and the average vehicle speed change quantity ΔVs, thereby eliminating a feeling of discomfort upon changing a speed in the continuously variable transmission.

Abstract: Mains electrical lighting installation control system has intermediate control units (200) between central (100) and local (300) control units, all microprocessor-based. Each local control unit (300) is programmable for immediate control of associated lighting circuits (at 308). Each intermediate control unit (200) is programmable for control common to plural associated local control units (110) over a communication provision (210). The central control unit (100) is programmed for control functions to the intermediate control units (200) over another communication provision (110). Devolved control at intermediate level (at 200) facilitates optimisation so all control units (100,110,200,210,300) cooperate in operation of the electrical lighting circuits (308) with lighting circuit response time less than for all direct and referred control at a central control unit.

Abstract: A production method is provided which can reduce the number of working steps, shorten a production time, increase a strength of a probe, and prevent a U-turned portion (61) from shifting in a probe member (50P). The method provides a positioning pin (100) disposed inside a U-turned portion (61) of an insulated electrical wire (60) as an insert in the probe member (50P) upon mold-forming. According to the method, since the positioning pin (100) is left inside the U-turned portion (61), a pin drawn-out hole is not formed in the probe member, thereby increasing the strength of the probe. The U-turned portion (61) is disposed in position by the positioning pin (100), thereby preventing the U-turned portion (61) from shifting in the probe member (50P). Also, since the pin drawn-out hole is not formed in the probe member, it is not necessary to fill a packing material into the hole onto apply an adhesive to the inside wall of the hole or to the packing material and thereby the working steps can be reduced. Further, it is possible to shorten the production time without as it is not necessary to wait until an adhesive has hardened.
