Title: Ophthalmic lens inspection system and method
Inventor: EDWARDS RUSSELL J
IPC: G01M11/02
Filed: 1993-12-15
Abstract: A lens inspection method and apparatus is disclosed comprising a pallet having wells for receiving one or more lens containers at the receiving point. A conveyor achieves uniformity of pallet motion needed in the direction of pallet travel and stability when transporting the lens in the orthogonal, non-translating directions by use of one or more guide rails and a mechanical bias means. Pallet wells for receiving the containers comprise holes that pass through the pallet. These holes along with a side driven transport system make possible an arrangement of a lamp and camera on opposite sides of the lens for capturing an image of a lens. A computer implemented algorithm processes the digitized image according to rules set forth in a program to determine the acceptability of the lenses. A lens disposition mechanism connected to the computer uses a signal generated by the computer and indicates lens acceptability to disposition the lens by physically separating a container with an acceptable lens from an unacceptable lens. After disposition of containers, the pallet is returned by conveyor to the lens receiving point.

Title: A multi-user communication system architecture with distributed receivers
Inventor: MILLER DAVID S
IPC: H04J13/00
Filed: 1996-03-29
Abstract: Method and apparatus for receiving signals in gateways for satellite repeater type spread spectrum communication systems making more efficient use of data transfer capacity and diversity processing. Several communication signals are received by multiple analog receivers and converted into digital format. The digital communication signals are transferred from each analog receiver into a series of demodulation or FHT modules in which they are first despread into encoded data symbols using predetermined PN coding sequences, and then mapped into symbol energy metrics using orthogonal transformers, such as fast Hadamard transformers. The transformation output for each communication channel from each analog receiver is input to a single metric receiver for a data channel or subscriber, where it is subjected to conventional metric signal processing to reconstruct the data. A set of dedicated modules is coupled to each analog receiver for handling each diversity path or subscriber active communication system channel being transferred through that receiver or analog path. Each demodulation or FHT module comprises despreading elements and FHT components that are easily distributed in processing arrays within the gateway.

Title: Truck suspensions incorporating asymmetric leaf springs
Inventor: DUDDING ASHLEY T
IPC: F16F3/00
Filed: 2001-05-11
Abstract: A suspension system for supporting fore- and aft extending frame members of a vehicle chassis on a hollow axle, the system on one side of the vehicle being duplicated on the opposite side. Included in the suspension on each side are: (1) a frame bracket for pivotally supporting the fore or leading end of an asymmetric leaf spring; (2) a spring end support mounted on the frame side member for supporting the aft or trailing end of the leaf spring, and (3) a suitable assembly for attaching the leaf spring at a location intermediate its opposite ends to the axle so that the spring is divided into two cantilever limbs extending in opposite directions from the center line of the axle. The spring is formed so that one of the cantilever limbs has a stiffness substantially greater than the stiffness of the other limb. In all forms, at least one leaf of the asymmetric spring extends the full length of the spring. In one particular form the spring has a shorter leaf with an end portion extending over the axle with an air spring mounted either directly over the axle or on one side of the axle. Instead of having two leafs, the asymmetric spring may be formed as a tapered convolute single-leaf spring.

Title: A system and method for refuse collection
Inventor: CEDERBORG PER
IPC: B65G53/66
Filed: 2000-06-22
Abstract: This invention is mainly concerned with a vacuum refuse collection system in which refuse chutes (CH) are connected to a transport pipe system through respective discharge valves (DV), and in which communication between a refuse chute and the transport pipe system is established by opening the discharge valve of the refuse chute. The idea according to the invention is to partition discharge valves, and hence corresponding refuse chutes, into groups (G1-G5) and perform controlled emptying of refuse by opening discharge valves on a group basis. More particularly, the control system selects one group at a time for opening of discharge valves within the selected group. In this way, the utilization of the available resources in a vacuum refuse collection system is substantially improved, thus resulting in an efficient and reliable system. The above solution has turned out to be particularly efficient for larger systems, especially in combination with level-controlled emptying.
