Title: Evaluation of yield of a skin cut into components, e.g. in shoe manufacture, by use of a computer
Inventor: BECK WILLIAM S
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 1999-09-02
Abstract: The figure shows a production line in, say, a shoe factory in which skins are cut into components. Initially the skin, with the exclusion of unusable areas, is measured. This measurement is marked as a bar code. The operator then places punches from (12) on the skin on table (10) according to his/her judgement. Magnetic proximity sensors under (12) identify the punches taken and hence the area of the cut components. This information, together with the bar code reading, is passed to a central computer that calculates, in real time, the ratio of useful to total area. If this falls below a given standard the press (30), which normally operates automatically as a table is placed under it, can only be started by a supervisor who can decide on a different configuration of punches.

Abstract: An information service terminal communication
adapter controls a connection state between an
information service terminal and a communication
line by means of a connection state control section.
A diagnostic signal transmitting section outputs to the
information service terminal a diagnostic signal for
judging whether or not a predetermined program normally
runs. A response discriminating section receives a
response signal from the information service terminal
corresponding to the diagnostic signal transmitted by
the diagnostic signal transmitting section, and
discriminates whether or not the predetermined program
normally runs. A terminal restart section outputs
a signal for restarting the predetermined program to
the information service terminal in the case where the
response discriminating section discriminates that the
predetermined program does not run normally. In this
manner, a communication adapter side can detect
speedily that a program for information processing
stops on the information service terminal side, and
automatically recovers the program from such stoppage.
