Abstract: Disclosed herein are position determining apparatus and conductor structures or grids (40) therefor.  The conductor structures for each axis includes a number of conductors (46x-50x; 46y-50y), at least one of which is run in a serpentine path with a non-uniform repeat increment.  The repeat increment, which is the spacing between one run and the next of the same serpentine conductor, is constrained by a maximum repeat increment, or a minimum repeat increment, or a maximum change in repeat increments between connsecutive runs of a same conductor, or combinations thereof.  In the preferred embodiments, there is at least a constraint on the maximum repeat increment to provide noise immunity. The conductors (46x-50x; 46y-50y) are arranged for each axis of the grid (40) in a pattern such that signals obtained for that axis may be processed to provide binary numbers in a Gray-type code each unique to a small region of the active area (42) in which the coil center (62) is located.  The small region for a given axis corresponds to the space between two immediately adjacent, active conductor portions (53) for that axis, with a possibility ambiguity of one space.  Small regions in each axis define the coarse location of the coil center (62).  Fine location within a region may be determined from the magnitudes of currents induced in selected runs by interpolation, or from the phase relationship of current induced in selected runs.

Abstract: A bait system (angling device) for predatory fish is described which consists essentially of a rod (1) which can be pushed into the bait fish and which is provided with a spear eyelet (7, 9), a main eyelet (8, 10) and a gill eyelet (4) for attaching the corresponding hooks. The rod (1) is curved outwards in the area of the gill eyelet (4) so that all the hooks (15, 16, 17) can be attached from the outside. As a result of the curvature and the hooks (15, 16, 17) and counter-hooks which may be provided, the rod sits securely in the bait fish (14), so that the entire bait system can be thrown far out when angling, without any risk of the bait fish (14) and hooks (15, 16, 17) shifting relative to one another or detaching completely from one another. A blade-like design of the rod ends and their tapering facilitates the insertion of the rod (1) into the bait fish (14). Previously known auxiliary devices can be attached to the rod (1), in particular a scoop which can be attached to the front end of the rod, but which can also be already connected securely to the rod ex works. In a particular embodiment the rod (1) is made longitudinally adjustable and can therefore be adapted specifically to the length of the bait fish (14). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A gas burner arrangement comprises a gas burner in which spark-gaps 20 are defined between a plurality of flame electrodes 15 supported by a cover plate 7 and opposing electrode 5, a spark generator 31 and a flame failure sensor 32. The sensor 32 senses the absence of flame only when there is an absence of flame extending from each flame electrode 15 to the opposing electrode 5 at the same time and, in response to such absence of flame, initiates energisation of the spark generator to effect sparking and reignition of the burner. 
     The arrangement reduces the likelihood of so-called "nuisance" sparking which has been found to occur where a single sparking electrode is employed and the flame, without being extinguished, moves away from the sparking electrode.

Abstract: An apparatus for opening plastic bags to remove their contents has a pair of wheels (11,12) mounted in approximate coplanar relationship such that there is a point of approximate cotangency. The two wheels rotate in opposite directions, and a series of tines 13 are mounted in spaced relation on the periphery of each wheel to extend normal to the direction of travel of the loop. Once a filled plastic bag is placed onto the apparatus at the point of approximate cotangency of the wheels, a biased flexing structure presses the bag against the tines. A hole is created in that surface riding on the tines as the tines move away from the point of approximate cotangency. To remove any articles remaining in an opened bag, a pair of oppositely-rotating rollers (63,68) are positioned so as to draw the bag between them. An oscillating member forward of the rollers acts to prevent any articles remaining in an opened bag from entering between the rollers. A vacuum collection means 73 draws off the emptied bags. The apparatus has particular application to the opening of bags containing recyclable articles.

Title: A force feedback and texture simulating interface device
Inventor: KRAMER JAMES F
IPC: G06F3/033
Filed: 1991-01-30
Abstract: A man-machine interface is disclosed which provides force and texture information to sensing body parts. The interface is comprised of a force actuating device that produces a force which is transmitted to a force applying device. The force applying device applies the generated force to a pressure sensing body part. A force sensor on the force applying device measures the actual force applied to the pressure sensing body part, while angle sensors measure the angles of relevant joint body parts. A computing device uses the joint body part position information to determine a desired force value to be applied to the pressure sensing body part. The computing device combines the joint body part position information with the force sensor information to calculate the force command which is sent to the force actuating device. In this manner, the computing device may control the actual force applied to a pressure sensing body part to a desired force which depends upon the positions of related joint body parts. In addition, the interface is comprised of a displacement actuating device which produces a displacement which is transmitted to a displacement applying device (e.g., a texture simulator). The displacement applying device applies the generated displacement to a pressure sensing body part. The force applying device and displacement applying device may be combined to simultaneously provide force and displacement information to a pressure sensing body part.

Filed: 1991-07-25
Abstract: An induction hardening machine for contour hardening of machine components such as gears includes a phase angle detector circuit (112) which produces a pulse for each corresponding detection of a predetermined phase angle of an AC signal. A start switch (SW2) and the pulse produced by the phase detector provide inputs to a circuit (116) which requires concurrence of the pulse and activation of the switch before a predetermined width signal pulse is produced. The predetermined width signal pulse activates power switching devices (114) to supply a predetermined power signal to an RF generator (120) coupled to an induction heating coil (128). Precise induction heating is accomplished via precise control of power input to the RF generator (120).
