Abstract: The invention relates to a finishing apparatus in which a workpiece and finishing media are agitated together in a finishing chamber. Hitherto, vibratory workpiece finishing apparatus have comprised an annular finishing chamber which is generally satisfactory for the mass finishing of small workpieces, but will not normally facilitate the finishing of relatively large items. The invention provides a finishing apparatus for a workpiece comprising a cylindrical container having a bottom wall 56 and an upstanding peripheral wall 54 defining therebetween a finishing chamber 57 for the workpiece and finishing media and which is uninterrupted between diametrically opposite wall portions. Means 64 is provided for imparting vibratory movement to the container.

Abstract: A spacer tray 2 for containers 32 is formed of a moldable sheet material and is shaped to provide a plurality of container-bottom receptacles 4. Each container-bottom receptacle 4 is shaped to receive at least a part of a bottom portion of a container 32. A container spacer wall 30 is located between each pair of adjacent container-bottom receptacles 4 to maintain bottom portions of containers seated in the receptacles spaced apart from one another. The spacer tray 2 can include nesting-binding interference structures 40, 42 to prevent two spacer trays placed one atop the other from binding when one tray is rotated 180 degrees relative to but otherwise aligned with the other tray. The spacer tray can include a plurality of container-loading-guide-­pin openings 36 passing through it which permit container-loading guide pins 78 - from a high-speed spacer-tray loading machine, for example - to pass through for locating the spacer tray 2 and guiding bottom portions of containers 32 into container-bottom receptacles 4 during loading of the spacer tray. The spacer tray 202 can include a plurality of container-­loading-guide-pin caps 236 which permit end portions of container-loading guide pins 78 to project into and fit within the interiors of the caps for locating the spacer tray 202 and for reinforcing the caps for guiding bottom portions of containers 32 into container-bottom receptacles 204 during loading of the spacer tray.

IPC: G01N21/77
Filed: 1988-03-08
Abstract: In the present invention is described a liquid detector (10) employing fibre optics, by which can be detected the presence e.g. of oils and various solvents. The means is internally safe because the optic fibre (13) is an insulator and it may therefore be used to monitor liquids involving fire or explosion hazard. The means may be used to detect leakage when storing oils and solvents because it reacts most rapidly with these liquids. The detector (10) makes use of the capillarity of the sensing pick-up (14), the optical reflection coefficient of the pick-up material changing as it comes into contact with the liquid (16) to be detected.

Title: Refuse vehicle
Inventor: BEHLING HANS-JURGEN
IPC: B65F3/20
Filed: 1988-06-29
Abstract: In refuse vehicles having a refuse-filling system arranged behind the driver's cab, an adjacent refuse-compressing device and a refuse-collecting container arranged behind the latter, it was hitherto not possible to achieve adequate compression of the filled refuse inside the refuse-collecting container, resulting in insufficient utilisation of said container. 
<??>In the case of the invention, there is arranged in the range of action of the refuse-compressing device a counterpressure plate which can be subjected to a pressing force and is mounted in a radially swivellable manner on the ceiling of the refuse-collecting container, said plate forming a counterpressure element for the filled refuse. In this way it is possible to compress, in a uniform manner, the refuse filled into the refuse-collecting container from the start of refuse feeding until said container is completely full and thus an increased utilisation or useful load of the refuse vehicle can be achieved.

Patent EP-0315002-A2 (EP)
Inventor: LIPKIS THOMAS A
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 1988-10-23
Abstract: The invention is a computer-based tool, in the form of a computer system and method, for designing, constructing and interacting with any system containing or comprising concurrent asynchronous processes, such as a factory operation. In the system according to the invention a variety of development and execution tools are supported. The invention features a highly visual user presentation of a control system, including structure, specification, and operation, offering a user an interactive capability for rapid design, modification, and exploration of the operating characteristics of a control system comprising asynchronous processes. The invention captures a representation of the system (RS) that is equivalent to the actual system (AS) - rather than a simulation of the actual system. This allows the invention to perform tests and modification on RS instead of AS, yet get accurate results. RS and AS are equivalent because AS is generated directly from RS by an automated process. Effectively, pressing a button in the RS environment can "create" the AS version or any selected portion of it, by "downloading" a translation of the RS version that can be executed by a programmable processor in the AS environment. Information can flow both ways between AS and RS. That AS and RS can interact is important. This allows RS to "take on‴the "state" of AS whenever desired, through an "uploading" procedure, thereby reflecting accurately the condition of AS at a specific point in time.
