Title: Tow-line winding device
IPC: B63B35/85
Filed: 1989-04-04
Abstract: A device (10) for winding and unwinding a waterski tow-line (21) comprises a substantially enclosed housing (20) having a spool mounted for rotation in the housing. A driven gear is mounted on the spool (22) for rotational driving thereof. A drive shaft is journaled in the housing for rotation and for axial sliding relative to the housing and the drive shaft (28) has a first end portion protruding from the housing and a second end portion extending into the housing. A drive gear (26) is rigidly affixed to the drive shaft for rotation and for axial sliding with it. A spring (36) is mounted in the housing to bias the drive gear (34) into meshing engagement with the driven gear (26). A crank lever (38) is pivotally connected to the second end portion (32) of the drive shaft by an eccentrically positioned pivot pin (46). With this arrangement, upon pivoting movement of the crank lever (38) to a first orientation generally transverse to the axle of the drive shaft (28), the yoke portion (48) urgingly contacts the housing so as to cause axial sliding of the drive shaft (28) in a first axial direction against biasing of the spring (36), so as to cause disengagement of the drive gear (34) from the driven gear (26), thereby allowing free rotation of the spool (22), and consequential unwinding of the tow-line therefrom. On pivoting movement of the crank lever to a second orientation 180 DEG  opposite to the first orientation, the yoke portion (48) is removed from urging contact with the housing (20) so as to allow the drive shaft (28) to slide in an axially opposite second direction under biasing of the spring (36), so as to cause engagement of the drive gear (34) with the driven gear (26), thereby allowing for controlled rotation of the spool (22) upon rotation of the crank lever (38), so as to wind the tow-line (21) around the spool (22).

Title: Cellular network assignment processor using minimum/maximum convergence technique
IPC: G06N3/00
Filed: 1989-10-06
Abstract: A cellular network assignment processor (10) for solving 
optimization problems utilizing a neural network architecture 
having a matrix of simple processing cells (12) that are highly 
interconnected in a regular structure. The cells (12) accept as 
input, costs in an assignment problem. The position of each cell

constraint space of the assignment problem. Each cell (12) is 
capable of receiving, storing and transmitting cost values and is 
also capable of determining if it is the maximum or the minimum of 
cells (12) to which it's connected. Operating on one row of cells 
(12) at a time the processor (10) determines if a conflict exists 
between selected connected cells (12) until a cell (12) with no 
conflict is found in each row. The end result is a chosen cell 
(12), in each row, the chosen cells (12) together representing a 
valid solution to the assignment problem.

Title: A paste dispenser
IPC: A46B11/02
Filed: 1990-03-05
Abstract: A hand-held paste dispenser (1) is disclosed which has a 
discharge means (3) actuated by a cap (5) for the dispenser. 
For dispensing, the cap (5) is removed from the discharge end 
and pushed over the rear portion, in which position a key (13) 
engages a recess (10) in a threaded drive spindle of the 
discharge means. The cap is then rotated to dispense paste 
and rotation is limited by stops (16,17) so that a metered 
"measure" may be dispensed. The dispenser may also include a 
paste applicator head (32) to form a reservoir toothbrush. 
Because engagement between the cap and discharge means is 
required, accidental discharge resulting in blocking of the 
outlet and lack of cleanliness is avoided and the dispenser is 
tamper-proof for young children. Further, the dispenser 
allows control of the amount discharged which is important for 
avoiding waste and in discharging an exact required amount of 
paste.
Patent EP-0443385-A3 (EP)
Title: Process and device for separating solids from mud with screw presses
IPC: C02F11/12
Filed: 1991-02-08
Abstract: The separating and dewatering of solids from glutinous liquids by means of separators of which the pressing force is built up by a screw is hindered by the high viscosity of the liquids; to permit separating and dewatering, oscillations are introduced into the filling space of the separator, the effect of which oscillations continues into the entry region of the screen pack, brings about a reduction in the viscosity of the glutinous liquid and thus permits the gravity dewatering necessary for separating the solids. For this purpose, a vibrator (4) is provided outside the filling space (2), the oscillations of which vibrator can be transferred via supporting ribs (5) to an oscillator (6) arranged in the liquid, a membrane (7) closing off the inner space of the separator and the oscillating elements being supported by springs or rubber buffers (11) and able to move correspondingly in the vertical direction.

Title: Conveyor installation for material in the form of articles
IPC: B65G19/20
Filed: 1992-05-18
Abstract: The conveyor installation with a conveyor belt (6) for piece goods (3) has a supporting track (1) for the piece goods (3) which extends in the longitudinal direction of the conveyor belt (6). A channel (4) is located underneath the supporting track (1) in which channel the conveyor belt (6) rests on a channel floor (5) and is movable in the running direction (9) without coming into contact with the piece goods (3). The conveyor belt (6) is provided on its underside facing away from the supporting track (1) with thickened areas (7) which are mounted at longitudinal intervals and rest on the floor (5) of the channel. These thickened areas (7) raise the conveyor belt (6) and bring it into temporary frictional contact with the piece goods (3), so that the latter can be carried. The thickened areas (7) may also be mounted at longitudinal intervals on the upper side of the conveyor belt (6) facing towards the supporting track (1). As the moved conveyor belt (6) is not in constant contact with the piece goods (1), only a small tensile force is required for its propulsion. The accumulation pressure is therefore also low when the foremost article is retained by an accumulation device. <IMAGE>

Title: Commodity metering systems
IPC: G07F7/00
Filed: 1987-06-16
Abstract: A multi-rate commodity metering system comprises an electronic key containing an EEPROM, and a meter for metering the commodity and having a receptacle for receiving the key. The meter also contains a real-time clock. The key can operate as a programming device and a meter-reading device. When the key is initially inserted into the meter, it starts a billing period, eg a quarter, and if necessary programs the meter with the times for switching between rates and the prices per unit of the commodity for each rate. Towards the end of the billing period, the meter reading is entered into the key with the time and date to which it relates and a visible and/or audible warning is produced to remind the customer to remove the key and take it to the commodity supplier's premises so that the supplier can read out the meter reading from the key. If the customer fails to do this within a certain time, the supply of the commodity is cut off, although an emergency supply can be obtained for a further predetermined time if necessary.
