Patent CA-2608022-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TAVIO DIAZ MIGUEL ANGEL
IPC: B66C13/06
Filed: 2005-11-03
Abstract: The invention relates to hydraulic motors for actuating and controlling an anti-swing system in container-handling cranes. Container-handling cranes pose the following problem, namely that, when the trolley moves, the cables supporting the load spreader oscillate longitudinally in relation to the aforementioned movement.Systems currently used to reduce said swinging movement are inconvenient because (i) they comprise numerous power transmission elements, thereby generating maintenance problems, and (ii) the main two functions thereof are performed separately, i.e. movement transmission and oscillation reduction. The aforementioned problems can be resolved with an autonomous, independent drive system using hydraulic motors, thereby rendering the power transmission drive chain simple, robust, reliable and easy to maintain. In addition, the motors perform the main functions simultaneously, i.e. producing the movement and reducing the oscillations.  According to the invention, pressure-limiting devices are used to dampen the pressure points applied to the motors during the swinging movement. The system balances the pressure on the motors and, in this way, offsets the oscillating movement.

Abstract: The primary component of the present invention is an automated method for transforming any suitably well -formed textual description of a process into a series of diagrammatic representations of that process. The secondary component of this invention is an automated method for transforming any of these diagrammatic representations into a corresponding textual description.  These complementary methods are specific implementations of a more fundamental process modeling method for constructing a fundamental object structure from which a coordinated set of diverse representations may be uniformly generated, and hence, automatically synchronized. This fundamental process modeling method derives directly from the underlying mechanisms of syntactic and semantic representation provided by metaScript, a software technology presented in a previous patent application (Serial No. 09/883,693: "Computer System With Natural Language To Machine Language Translator").
