Abstract: In a remote monitoring and controlling system, a selector switch unit sets data for batch controlling and for separately controlling operation of illumination loads and transmitting to the signal line a control request signal related to operation for the illumination loads based on the set data. A data memory stores therein set operation states of respective illumination loads and set dimming levels of respective illumination loads so that the operation states and the dimming levels are associated in correspondence therebetween. A control request signal containing the data stored in the data memory is transferred to a terminal unit. The terminal unit transmits a dimming level instruction signal to its corresponding dimming terminal unit based on a control request signal of dimming level from the selector switch unit, and further transmits a display instruction signal of dimming level to the selector switch unit, thereby displaying a current dimming level.

Abstract: A system and method for enabling information providers to influence position for a search listing within a search result list generated by an Internet search engine. The network information provider may add, delete, or modify a search listing after logging via an authentication process (110). The information provider influences a position for a search listing in the provider's account by first selecting a search term relevant to the content of the web site. The network information provider enters the search term and the description into a search listing. The information provider influences the position for a search listing through a continuous online competitive bidding process (170). The bidding process occurs when the information provider enters a new bid amount for a search listing.  This system and method then compares this bid amount with all other bid amounts for the same search term, and generates a rank value for all search listings having that search term. The rank value generated by the bidding process determines where the information providers listing will appear on the search results list page that is generated in response to a query of the search term by a searcher located at a client computer on the network (170).

IPC: B65B23/14
Filed: 2002-05-14
Abstract: A system for continuously packaging or sorting fragile articles having varying thicknesses in a stack includes a plurality of proportional shifters coupled to each of a plurality of stripping devices in an article infeed assembly. Each proportional shifter has an article gauge for measuring the height of a stack having a set or desired number of fragile articles, such as crackers or cookies. An article stripping device may be quickly and accurately adjusted in-process to measure the thickness of a set number of stacked articles contained in a given batch coming from an article infeed. The article gauge provides a measure of the height of a stack of a set number of articles sampled from an article infeed. The stack height is equivalent to the height of the stack of articles stripped by the strip feeder. Once an adjustment has been made for the correct thickness, the system allows a step for switching in-process the number of articles stripped between two different pre-determined numbers of articles in a stack, for example three and four, while maintaining the thickness adjustment. The system and method of the present invention prevent breakage and waste in packaging or sorting fragile articles having thicknesses which vary over time in a stack.
