Abstract: Products (P) consisting, for example, of stacks of
articles having a flattened shape, such as sanitary
articles, are packaged inside the corresponding bags,
by providing a device (6) which keeps the aforesaid
bags open while a pusher element (9) is pushing the
products (P) inside the bags. Once the pushing movement
has been completed, the bags containing the products
are left free to advance towards a closing station (3),
thus disengaging the pusher element (9). In this way,
the aforesaid pusher element (9) is prevented from
advancing inside the closing station and from being
subsequently backed off from the said station.
Preferably, the closing station (3) is made by means of
an orientable structure, which enables sealing lines of
the packages to be made that are oriented both in the
horizontal direction and in the vertical direction, so
adapting to the orientation of the bags fed onto the
device.

Abstract: A haptic feedback joystick provides input signals for controlling computer programs in response to a pivotal displacement of a joystick control handle about a plurality of orthogonal axes. Haptic feedback force effects are applied to the joystick control handle about "X" and "Y" axes in response to haptic feedback command signals generated by the computer program. The control handle is mounted on a control handle shaft that is pivotally coupled to a full-gimbal assembly driven by two electric motors to produce the haptic feedback force. The full-gimbal assembly includes an upper and lower gimbal operatively coupled to a corresponding electric motor. One side of each gimbal includes a support shaft mounted in a corresponding bearing a frame, while the opposite sides of each gimbal include two drive pins that couple with a sector gear. Each sector gear is rotatably mounted on the frame and is coupled to the drive shaft of a different one of the electric motors. Each of the upper and lower gimbals enable the control handle to be displaced about a respective one of said X and Y axes, while the electric motors impart a torque to the control handle about these axes in response to electrical drive currents generated by a motor controller. Potentiometers are coupled to the upper and lower gimbals to produce proportional output signals indicative of the angular displacement of the control handle about the X and Y axes. The output signals are transmitted to a computer running the software program.

A performance management controller 17 comprises a control unit 25, a list of performance measurement groups 19, a list of logical/physical components in the network 21 and a list of predefined time schedules 23. Upon receiving network configuration information 11, 15 from either the fault management tool 9 or configuration management tool 15, the control unit 25 determines whether any network performance measurements need to be changed, and if so, automatically changes them accordingly. In this way, the system is able to adaptively change the performance measurements in response to actual changes in network configuration, thereby ensuring that the most appropriate measurements are carried out.
