Abstract: The present system facilitates delivery and pickup of goods by providing a locker module at a location near a customer's residential site. For a vendor to deliver a good to the customer, the vendor leases a unit in the locker module from the system controller by accessing the system controller's website and providing details of the customer and a delivery agent. The vendor then notifies the delivery agent to make the delivery. The delivery agent provides the system controller the particulars of its delivery person. The designated delivery person accesses the leased locker unit using a registered smart card and delivers the good. The system controller notifies the customer of the delivered good. The customer accesses the locker unit containing the good by using a registered smart card.

Abstract: The present application aims with respect to a negative-angle
forming die with a lower die half (1) supporting a rotary
cam (5) and an upper die half (3) having an intrusion forming portion
cooperating with an intrusion forming portion (4) of the rotary
cam upon a descend of the upper die half to form a sheet
metal product (W) to avoid the problem that slight pivoting
movement makes the rotary cam move slightly out of a
predetermined forming position, thereby creating an unwanted
step in a curved surface of the work or making it impossible
to form the work into an accurate contour, particularly if
accuracy in the order of 1/100mm is required. The present
application aims to maintain the rotary cam at a predetermined
forming position during the forming process in that the
rotary cam (5) is provided with a receiving portion (31), a
lock bar (34) having an engaging portion (33) for engagement
with the receiving portion (31) is slidably disposed in the
vicinity of the rotary cam (5) and the lock bar (34) is urged
by a means (35) for providing a returning urging force in a
direction such that said engaging portion (33) is out of
engagement with the receiving portion (31). The slide cam (5)
is provided with means (72,73) for providing an urging force
on the lock bar (34) which is larger than that provided by
the returning urging force providing means (35) in the
direction such that the engaging portion (33) gets into
engagement with the receiving portion (31) of the rotary cam
(5) at the time of the intrusion forming performed by the
slide cam (8) and the rotary cam (5).

Abstract: The method involves transmitting modulated light towards the object, receiving reflected light from the object, converting it into a reflection signal and determining the distance from the transition time. At least part of the transmitted signal is received without reflection as a reference light signal and converted into a reference signal. The phase difference of the reference and reflection signals is used to derive the transition time. The method involves transmitting (4) a modulated light signal along a transmission channel towards the object (5), receiving (6) the reflected light signal from the object via a reception channel and converting it into a reflection signal and determining the distance from the transition time of the received light signal. At least part of the transmitted signal is received without reflection as a reference light signal and converted into a reference signal. The difference between the phases of the reference and reflection signals is used to derive the transition time, whereby there is optical isolation between the transmission and reception channels. Independent claims are also included for the following: a distance measurement device.

Abstract: Adaptive compressive gain and level dependent spectral
shaping circuitry for a hearing aid include a microphone to
produce an input signal and a plurality of channels connected
to a common circuit output (102). Each channel has a present
frequency response. Each channel includes a filter (F1, F2,

signal (12) and to produce a filtered signal, a channel
amplifier to amplify the filtered signal to produce a channel
output signal, a threshold register (34) to establish a
channel threshold level, and a gain circuit (24). The gain
circuit increases the gain of the channel amplifier when the
channel output signal falls below the channel threshold level
and decreases the gain of the channel amplifier when the
channel output signal rises above the channel threshold level.
A transducer produces sound in response to the signal passed

Abstract: The mean number of elevator door reversals,  µ  , in groups of

are used to determine the likelihood that door reversals are caused by
passenger interference; the likelihood is low if a recent number of
reversals exceeds  µ  + 3σ, , is medium if two out of three recent
reversals exceed  µ  + 2σ, and otherwise is high. The floors at which
related notable elevator features occur are compared to determine a
floor factor, F, depending on whether the notable feature occurs only
at one floor or at more than one floor. Estimated probabilities,
P'(S/C), that any component, C, will result in a symptom, S, (where
S = first and second notable features in a related group and the
accompanying floor factor, F) are provided by experts; the probability
of P'(C) of any failure being of any given component is determined

symptom S is caused by component C is given by
