Patent EP-1643074-A3 (EP)
Inventor: JAMES BRIAN G
IPC: B21D53/74
Filed: 2005-09-21
Abstract: An apparatus for automatic feeding of elongated sheet stock from a stamping station into a roll forming station in a window component production line includes a transfer mechanism, a feed mechanism and a controller. The transfer mechanism is between the stamping station and the roll forming station. The feed mechanism is positioned at an entrance to the roll forming station. The controller is in communication with the stamping station, the transfer mechanism and the feed mechanism. The controller is programmed to engage stock material that extends from the stamping station with the transfer mechanism, transfer the stock material paid out by the stamping station to the feed mechanism, and drive the feed mechanism to feed the elongated sheet stock into the roll forming station.

Abstract: A device for reducing the rotation speed of the boom (5) of a mainsail (3) mounted on the mast (4) of a sailing vessel (1) during gybing of the sailing vessel comprises damping means connected to the boom (5) of the mainsail (3). The damping means comprises a rotation damper (2) connected between the boom (5) and a fixed part of the sailing vessel (1). 
     A very compact device is obtained as a result of these measures, which prevents the consequences of uncontrolled gybing, while the number of external components is also small. 
     The rotation damper (2) is preferably placed in the vicinity of the mast (4) of the mainsail (3). The housing (7) of the rotation damper (2) is connected fixedly to the hull of the vessel (1). The arm (9) of the rotation damper (2) is connected to the boom (5) of the mainsail (3). Due to this placing close to the two parts to which the rotation damper (2) must be connected, only a small number of components is necessary for the purpose of connection.

Abstract: This invention provides an apparatus and method for displaying safety information about a power source to a user. When a power source is coupled to the device, and the device is turned on, safety information is presented to the user by way of a display. The user is then able to scroll through and read the information. Once read, the user has an opportunity to either accept or reject the information. In one embodiment, if the user rejects the safety information, the device is powered down. If the user acknowledges the device, the device becomes operational. Features of the system include allowing the user to select whether the information is re-displayed, and optional polling of carriers and other third parties for additional safety information.

Abstract: An optical power converting apparatus is provided that may be used with remote sensors. A plurality of remote sensors may be coupled to a backbone optical fiber with each sensor having an optical power converter that receives an optical signal from a head end of that fiber. The optical power converters may store electrical energy derived from that optical signal and use that energy to power the remote sensors. The head end's optical signal may also include a dock signal, and each remote sensor may be set to sense a measurable parameter after a given number of clock cycles have been counted. In a further example, each of the optical sensors may be synchronized before counting these clock signals via a synchronization signal from the optical power converter. The remote sensors may individually and separately uplink their sensed data to the head end on the optical fiber. The apparatus may be implemented in a vehicle health management system, for example.
