Abstract: The present invention is directed to an apparatus and method for measuring the weight of material such as rock, earth, wood, pulp, grain, gravel, sand, ore, cement etc. being processed or moved by an apparatus such as a conveyor, apron conveyor or bucket elevator driven by an electrical motor. The apparatus comprises a means for measuring the electrical energy consumed by the motor powering the apparatus during operation of the apparatus and a calibration formula for converting the power consumption of the motor to tonnage per hour of raw material processed by the apparatus. A continual record is kept of all "No-load" and "start-up load" time during the recording process and these figures are totalized along with tonnage for the recording period. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the apparatus is provided with a temperature sensor to monitor the ambient temperature and apply a temperature calibration factor to adjust the output of the apparatus based upon the ambient temperature. In another embodiment of the invention, the apparatus is provided with a belt speed sensor to monitor the speed of the belt and adjust the output should stalling or slippage of the belt occur. A third embodiment of the invention, the apparatus is provided with a digital inclinometer to monitor change in angle of conveyor frame on a stacker conveyor and adjust the output in tonnage based on new angle of operation. The final embodiment of the invention, the use of No-load testing to re-calibrate the conversion formula by adjusting the formula by the difference in No-load reading compared to the No-load taken at the time of initial calibration of the apparatus.

Granted: 2008-04-22
Abstract: An ink cartridge of the present invention has a storage element, in which plural pieces of specific information relating to an ink cartridge are stored at specific addresses that respectively occupy minimum bits required for storage. Namely the storage capacities required for storing the respective pieces of specific is information are different from one another. For example, a piece of information on the year of manufacture is registered in a data length of 7 bits, a piece of information on the month of manufacture is registered in a data length of 4 bits, and a piece of information on the date of manufacture is registered in a data length of 5 bits. A piece of information on the time (hour) of manufacture is registered in a data length of 5 bits, and a piece of information on the time (minute ) of manufacture is registered in a data length of 6 bits. A piece of information on the validity term of ink is registered in a data length of 6 bits, and a piece of information on the after-unsealed validity term is registered in a data length of 5 bits. This arrangement enables the specific information relating to the ink cartridge, for example, pieces of information on the manufacture of the ink cartridge and those on remaining quantities of the respective inks, to be stored efficiently into the storage element, while reducing the manufacturing cost of the ink cartridge.

Abstract: An outsole (1, 3), in particular, for athletic shoes (2) can be realized with a significant elastic deformability in the tangential direction so as to also achieve a superior shock-absorption when the foot contacts the ground obliquely and with a slight propulsive force. According to the invention, the sole (1) essentially is only rigid to a tangential deformation beyond at least one critical point of deformation in the region that is deformed to this critical point. This results in a correspondingly increased stability for the runner in the respective point of contact or load application. The runner is also able to push off from the point of load application without any loss in distance. A floating effect on the sole is prevented. The sole can be affixed, as a whole or in a plurality of parts, also detachably to an intermediate sole (4) of the shoe (2).

Abstract: In an apparatus for applying ink patterns on oriented strand boards, the boards are serially moved closely adjacent to and past ink jets, and ink is deposit ed on the boards. To deposit the ink accurately on the boards they are advanced by pinch and driv e rollers which also ensure that the boards are flat as they move past the jets. Detectors are us ed to detect boards which cannot be flattened or are irregular in shape and in such a case the i nk jets are moved to avoid impact by an irregular board. During printing, the panels and the ink jets are about 0.0625 inches to about 0.125 inches apart, and the panels are moved at a rat e of about 150 ft/minute to 600 ft/minute.
