Patent CA-2280198-C (CA)
Inventor: MARTIN CURTIS
IPC: B65B11/04
Filed: 1999-08-10
Granted: 2007-04-24
Abstract: A leading end of packaging material is grasped in a packaging material holder while a load is wrapped. Packaging material is dispensed from a packaging material dispenser, and relative rotation is provided between the dispenser and a load to wrap packaging material around the load. The packaging material holder is positioned on the rotating surface of a turntable but is isolated from any electrical or fluid power source of a rotatable surface of the turntable. During the wrapping cycle, a spring builds and stores energy as the packaging material holder moves downstream along the turntable, automatically releasing the leading end of the packaging material and automatically grasping a trailing end of the packaging material. At least a portion of the packaging material is cut between the packaging material holder and the load, and the spring releases the stored energy to move the packaging material holder upstream toward the dispenser.

Abstract: In the occurrence of a data modem establishing a data communication session over a telephone line, a method is disclosed for detecting the modem and subsequently reducing the telephone line current. Initially, when a new telephone call is begun, the line current is set as normal to a current sufficient to power a standard telephone handset.      Subsequently, using modulation detection techniques, it is determined whether a modem data session has been initiated on the particular telephone line. If such a session has begun, the normal current level on the telephone line is unnecessary since data modems are locally powered. To minimize wasted power and reduce thermal problems caused by the modem dissipating the excessive current, a reduced current is set on the telephone line. This reduced current is either a predetermined modem current level or a minimum allowable current for the particular telephone line, as calculated within the line interface circuit.

Abstract: A mobile telephone system employs a fleet of satellites (14) and a set of gateway ground stations (10) arranged around the globe for handling communications to and from mobile communication subscriber units (12) such as mobile telephones. Signals are transmitted between a subscriber unit (10) and the nearest gateway (10) via one or more of the satellites. The gateway system is configured to process telephone call connection requests from a mobile subscriber unit (12) based upon the location of the subscriber unit. The location of the subscriber unit is employed, for example, to determine how telephone numbers are to be parsed and how to properly route emergency telephone calls to the nearest appropriate emergency service centers. Multiple location mapping schemes are employed to facilitate a determination of the location of a subscriber unit and to assist in routing emergency calls. In one implementation, each location with the service area of the system is mapped into a set of uniformly sized and shaped information cells (802). Each information cell includes pointers to data structures (806, 808) defining, among other things, the service providers that are permitted to process calls to or from that location and the nearest emergency services center. Each location is also mapped intoat least one virtual service provider cell (812, 814, 816, 818, 820) which includes service provider preferences and requirements for handling a call to from that location and including a unique location identifier. A specific implementation for use with the Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) is described.

Abstract: In the preparation of aqueous cement compositions containing a plasticizer, such as an EO/PO polymer-containing plasticizer, or EO/PO comb polymer-containing plasticizer, and further containing clay, such as a smectite clay, which expands when in contact with water, the step of providing an agent operative to modify the clay whereby the plasticizer absorbing capability of the clay is reduced. In exemplary methods of the invention, the plasticizer is an EO/PO (e.g., oxyalkylene) plasticizer and preferably an EO/PO comb polymer, and the clay-activity-modifiying agent may comprise an inorganic cation, an organic cation, a polar organic molecule capable of being absorbed by the clay, a clay dispersant (such as a polyphosphate), or a mixture thereof. For clay-activity-modifying agents which comprise a cation or a polar organic molecule, the agent is preferably added to the clay before water is introduced to the clay. For clay dispersant agents and some organic cations such as quaternary amines (which have a strong affinity for cationic exchange with the clay), the agent may be added before, during, or after water is introduced to the clay.

Abstract: A steering mechanism that controls a drive and steer transmission and that causes the transmission to execute turns in the direction a steering wheel is turned when operating in either the forward or reverse direction of travel. In response to operator engagement of a drive control, an actuation linkage shifts an elongate member within a slot formed in a cam member that pivots in response to turning of a steering wheel. Shifting of the rod member between two positions on either side of the cam member pivot axis causes the drive and steer transmission to steer the vehicle in the desired direction when the vehicle is traveling in both forward and reverse. An actuating device includes forward and reverse shifting devices mounted with and carried by the cam member for shifting the rod member within the slot.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une série de classes d'unités d'écriture et de lecture de flux, qui permettent à des systèmes objets de communiquer les uns avec les autres malgré des problèmes d'absence de classes dus à une différence de versions. Les unités d'écriture de flux sont modifiées de façon à traiter une nouvelle version d'une classe, constituant une extension d'une classe dans une version existante, en écrivant des informations d'objets de remplacement compatibles avec la version existante quand les informations de la future classe d'objets sont envoyées en continu. De cette manière, les informations d'objet de remplacement sont écrites pour chaque version plus ancienne. Les informations pour chaque objet de remplacement correspondant à chaque version plus ancienne sont ajoutées après les informations d'objet existantes sous forme d'extension, la longueur de l'extension étant écrite au début. Les unités de lecture de flux sont modifiés de façon que quand une unité de lecture d'une version plus ancienne lit les informations d'objet et ne comprend pas le premier objet de remplacement (qui peut correspondre à une version plus récente), il saute la longueur spécifiée pour ladite extension et lit le second objet de remplacement. S'il ne comprend pas les informations du second objet de remplacement, il saute les informations d'objet non comprises et continue avec tous les autres objets de remplacement. S'il ne comprend aucun objet de remplacement, une exception est lancée. Dans l'un des modes de réalisation, les informations pour les objets de remplacement qui ne sont pas utilisés ne sont pas rejetées, mais conservées dans une mémoire temporaire. Si l'objet revient lors d'une lecture de flux ultérieure, les informations mises en mémoire sont rajoutées au flux.

Abstract: A self-cleaning cat litter box has the ability to automatically filter and separate clumped soiled litter and fecal matter from clean litter. The apparatus includes a rotatable drum, a spiral filter within the drum, and a stationary back plate.. The drum has front and back walls, and the front wall has a front opening which permits access and egress by a domestic pet. The back wall has a first opening for both the removal of soiled litter and the addition of clean litter. The spiral filter is slotted, and is mounted on the inner surface of the drum. The stationary back plate is parallel to the plane of the back wall and has a second opening which permits the passage of soiled litter away from the drum, and a third opening to permit the passage of clean litter into the drum. The drum is rotated by a suitable drive, which can be electively actuated by a switch. The filter is configured to act as a scoop, and when the drum is at its rest position the filter is at least 10° from the bottommost point on the drum. When the second opening is aligned with the first opening, passage of soiled litter from the filter into disposable collection means occurs. When the third opening is aligned with the first opening, passage clean litter into the drum from a reservoir mounted on the back of the back plate will occur. A domestic pet includes a cat, rabbit, ferret, or skunk.
