Abstract: A method for laying and mechanically joining rectangular building panels in parallel rows includes the steps of (a) placing a new one of the panels adjacent to a long edge of a previously laid first one of the panels in a first row and to a short edge of a previously laid second one of the panels in an adjacent second row, such that the new one of the panels is in the second row, while holding the new one of the panels at an angle relative to a principal plane of the first panel, such that the new one of the panels is spaced from its final longitudinal position relative to said second panel and such that the long edge of the new panel is provided with a locking groove which is placed upon and in contact with a locking strip at the adjacent long edge of the first panel; (b) subsequently angling down the new one of the panels so as to accommodate a locking element of the strip of the first panel in the locking groove of the new panel, whereby the new panel and the first panel are mechanically connected with each other in a second direction with respect to the thus connected long edges, wherein the long edges, in the angled down position of the new panel, are in engagement with each other and thereby mechanically locked together in a first direction also; and (c) displacing the new one of the panels in its longitudinal direction relative to the first panel towards a final longitudinal position until a locking element of one of the short edges of the new one of the panels and the second panel snaps up into a locking groove of the other one of the short edges, whereby the new one of the panels and the second panel are mechanically connected with each other in both in the first direction and in the second direction with respect to the thus connected short edges.

Title: Method and device for splitting-up a stream of piece goods
Inventor: FREI HANS
IPC: B65G47/68
Filed: 2001-05-09
Granted: 2009-06-30
Abstract: For splitting-up a supply stream (2) of piece goods into a plurality of conveying away streams, the supplied objects (3) are guided onto a plurality of conveying away paths (4.1, 4.2, 4.3) in a predetermined splitting-up sequence. A device employed for this purpose comprises a supply means for serially supplying objects (3) to a split-up point (1) and for positioning the objects (3) for being taken over by holding means (6.1, 6.2, 6.3) in the split-up point (1). The device also comprises a plurality of conveying away systems, each one of which defines one of the conveying away paths. Of the conveying away systems advantageously each one comprises a closed-in-itself rail track (5.1, 5.2, 5.3) and holding means (6.1, 6.2, 6.3) movable along the rail track independently of one another and with variable distances between one another. The rail tracks (5.1, 5.2, 5.3) of the conveying away systems converge towards the split-up point (1), run through the split-up point (1) parallel to one another and diverge after the split-up point (1). The conveying away systems further comprise means for buffering holding means (6.1, 6.2, 6.3) upstream of the split-up point (1) and means for releasing holding means from the buffers (7.1, 7.2, 7.3) in a controlled manner. Furthermore, the conveying away systems comprise means for conveying holding means (6.1, 6.2, 6.3) through the split-up point (1) in a controlled manner and means for activating the holding means in the split-up point. For the splitting-up of the objects (3) positioned in the split-up point, a serial stream of holding means through the split-up point (1) is produced by controlled release of holding means (6.1, 6.2, 6.3) from the buffers (7.1, 7.2, 7.3) of the conveying away systems. In this stream of holding means, holding means belonging to different conveying away systems are arranged in a sequence corresponding to the splitting-up sequence for the objects (3).

Abstract: A bag includes front and back panels having joined first and second opposing side edges, and opposing top and bottom end edges. An end edge seal line adjacent one of the top and bottom end edges extends laterally from one side of the bag to the other for sealably closing the adjacent end edge of the bag. The opposite end edge of the hag is open for receiving contents therein and is subsequently closed to retain the contents within the bag. The improvement in the bag includes a folded in-tuck formed along one of the first and second side edges of the bag. The in-tuck cooperates with the front and back panels to define a side gusset adapted for allowing expansion of the bag when filled. The in-tuck is sealed along the end edge seal line to form a multi-ply reinforced end portion of the bag. A handle is formed with the reinforced end portion of the bag to allow convenient handling of the bag when filled.

Granted: 2012-01-03
Abstract: A method and corresponding apparatus for communicating a controller area network (CAN) message between a sending node, attached to a sending CAN  network, and a receiving node, where the sending and receiving nodes are interconnected by a network communicating according to transmission control protocol/Internet protocol (TCP/IP). The invention provides for having the sending node extract the CAN message payload (arbitration field, control field and data field if any) from a CAN message, having it embed the CAN message payload in a TCP/IP frame as the TCP/IP data field of the TCP/IP frame, having it refer to a routing form to determine the address on the TCP/IP network of the receiving node; and having it transmit the TCP/IP frame over the TCP/IP  network using the address for the receiving node from the routing form. The invention also provides for having the receiving node extract the CAN message payload from the TCP/IP frame, and alter the identifier of the CAN message payload, as needed, so as to correspond to the CAN message content at the receiving node (i.e. in case the receiving node is attached to a receiving CAN  network, to correspond to the CAN message content of the receiving CAN  network, but if the receiving node hosts a browser and is not attached to a receiving CAN network, to correspond to the CAN message content according to the preference of the user of the browser), the altering performed by reference to a mapping relating identifiers based on the network address of the sending node.

Abstract: Improved methods and apparatus for burning fuel with low NO x formation are provided. A method of the invention for discharging a mixture of fuel gas and air into a furnace wherein the mixture is burned and flue gases having a low NO x content are formed includes the following steps. A first portion of the fuel gas is mixed with a first portion of the air to form a primary fuel gas-air mixture. The primary fuel gas-air mixture is discharged into a primary burning zone in the furnace from at least one discharge location surrounded by a wall which extends into the furnace. A  second portion of the fuel and a second portion of the air are mixed to form a secondary fuel gas-air mixture. The secondary fuel gas-air mixture is discharged into a secondary burning zone in the furnace from at least one discharge location adjacent to an exterior side of the wall. The secondary fuel gas-air mixture is discharged at a velocity whereby the secondary fuel gas-air mixture is not ignited and burned until the mixture spreads over an exterior side of the wall, mixes with flue gases in the furnace and flows beyond the wall.
