Patent AU-685669-B2 (AU)
Title: Custom apparel manufacturing apparatus and method
Inventor: PARK SUNG KYU
IPC: G06Q50/00
Filed: 1995-08-11
Granted: 1998-01-22
Abstract: The present invention is a system and method for custom tailoring and manufacturing apparel by using numerous try-on apparels of differing, pre-determined dimensions to make a finished product. A system is used to keep track of the number of try-on apparels and each of their dimensions. As a consumer tries on one of these try-on apparels, a device associated with the system is used to collect the consumer's responses about fit. If one try-on apparel does not fit, the system suggests a next one to try, according to pre-defined rules. When a particular try-on apparel's fit has been approved for purchase by the consumer, this is reported to a manufacturing system, where a piece of apparel corresponding to the dimensions of the approved try-on apparel is cut, stitched, treated, and shipped as a finished apparel.

Title: Method and apparatus for energy estimation in a wireless receiver capable of receiving multiple instances of a common signal
Inventor: LEVIN JEFFREY A
IPC: H04B1/707
Filed: 2000-02-24
Granted: 2004-01-29
Abstract: In a remote unit receiver capable of demodulating a plurality of signal instances corresponding to a singe remote unit transmitted signal, a first instance of a signal is demodulated to produce a first set of energy values corresponding to a set of possible data values of the signal. A second instance of the signal is demodulated to produce a second set of energy values corresponding to the set of possible data values. The first and the second sets of energy values are then combined to determine a combined set of energy values. A first estimate of a most likely transmitted data value is determined based upon the combined set of energy values An energy level of the first instance is determined based upon the energy value within the first set of energy values corresponding to the first estimate of the most likely transmitted data value.

Title: Compact, low power gate apparatus for coin operated machines
Inventor: ZOUZOULAS JOHN
IPC: G07F9/00
Filed: 1989-05-12
Granted: 1992-09-17
Abstract: A compact, low power gate apparatus for use in coin operated machines, such as coin operated telephones, utilizes an inclined diverting surface and adjacent, coupled levers to decrease power requirements, multiply displacements and save space. A selectively energizable solenoid associated with a first lever moves the levers from a first to a second position when the solenoid is energized, and maintains them in their first position until the solenoid is energized again. A restoring means restores the levers to their first position when the solenoid is no longer energized and maintains the levers in their first position until the solenoid is energized again. The second lever has a coin diverting plate which is selectively positioned to divert a coin to a particular path or allow the coin to continue along the same path. The inclined diverting surface has an angle such that the component of force due to a falling coin impacting the surface is directed toward the pivot point of the second lever, decreasing the restoring force required to maintain the second lever in its first position, thereby decreasing the power requirements of the solenoid. The apparatus can reject coins in a passive mode and accept coins in an active mode. A microprocessor controls the selective energization of the solenoid by controlling a specially designed power supply and.power application control circuit for low power operation from power supplied from a phone line.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB86/00602 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 6, 1989 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 6, 1989 PCT Filed Oct. 6, 1986 PCT Pub. No. WO88/02292 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 7, 1988.In a rotary cutter block each blade (14) is clamped in an inwardly divergent recess (12) by a wedge (16). The wedges (16) may be clamped simultaneously against their associated blades (14) by application of high pressure grease at any of one or more grease nipples (52, 54) which actuates by hydraulic plungers (22) in the bases of the wedge recesses (12). The angle of the wedges (16) is such as to provide a taper-lock between the wedges (16), the blades (14) and the recesses (12), which means that after depressurization the cutterblock can be stored or moved from one machine spindle to another without slackening of the wedges. The invention is of considerable advantage in reducing the amount of setting-up time involved in setting and grinding the blades of a rotary cutter head, since one pressurization is sufficient to tighten all the wedges simultaneously and to the same degree.
