Title: Operator's station for a lift truck including three position seat assembly
Inventor: BILLGER STEVE CARLYLE
IPC: G05G1/30
Filed: 1998-08-26
Granted: 2008-01-08
Abstract: An improved operator's station includes an improved three position seat assembly which allows the operator to stand, perch or sit while maintaining the operator's eyes at essentially the same vertical level. The seat assembly includes a back rest, a seat that may be raised and lowered, and a movable shelf or perch positioned between the back rest and the seat. In a stand mode of operation, the seat is lowered and the shelf is raised; in a perch mode of operation, the shelf is lowered to provide a partial support for the weight of the operator; and, in a sit mode of operation, the seat is raised for substantially full support of the weight of the operator and the shelf is raised to be flush with the back rest. Two sets of foot pedals are provided in the improved operator's station. A first set of pedals is on the floor and includes a brake pedal and a power pedal. These pedals are operated when the operator is either standing or perching. A second set of pedals is raised above the first set of pedals and positioned to be operated when the operator is in the seated position, although the operator may optionally also use one or the other of the raised pedals in either the stand or perch modes of operation, thus providing additional flexibility in operating positions.

Title: Semi-static distribution technique
Inventor: CORBETT PETER F
IPC: G06F3/06
Filed: 2004-11-24
Granted: 2011-07-26
Abstract: A semi-static distribution technique distributes parity across disks of an array. According to the technique, parity is distributed (assigned) across the disks of the array in a manner that maintains a fixed pattern of parity blocks among the stripes of the disks. When one or more disks are added to the array, the semi-static technique redistributes parity in a way that does not require recalculation of parity or moving of any data blocks. Notably, the parity information is not actually moved; the technique merely involves a change in the assignment (or reservation) for some of the parity blocks of each pre-existing disk to the newly added disk.

Abstract: A method and a device to be used in the process of manufacturing plates, such as fibreboards or the like boards, where the raw material in form of biomass particles, such as wood fibres or the like, applied with a thermosetting binder is spread onto a forming belt to form a mat, and where said mat by means of a hot press is compressed into the desired thickness of the finished plate and the thermosetting binder is hardened. According to the invention the thermosetting binder is applied to the dried biomass particles in an airborne process, where the intense and homogeneous contact of the biomass particles and the droplets of fluent binder are facilitated by the use of ultrasound generated by the use of compressed air, water steam or another gas. Further measures to intensify the contact between the biomass particles and the binder droplets utilizing the dipole moment of the biomass particles, at the same time preventing the binder to stick to the walls of the device, as well as measures and to control moisture content and temperature of the binder-loaded particles are disclosed.

Abstract: A coating of blue-black or black oxidized zirconium of uniform and controlled thickness on a zirconium or zirconium alloy material is accomplished through the oxidative treatment of an amorphous zirconium or zirconium alloy substrate having an altered surface roughness. An oxidized zirconium coating of uniform and controlled thickness is especially useful on orthopedic implants of zirconium or zirconium-based alloys to provide low friction, highly wear resistant surfaces on artificial joints, such as, but not limited to, hip joints, knee joints, shoulders, elbows, and spinal implants. The uniformly thick oxidized zirconium surface of controlled depth on prostheses provide a barrier against implant corrosion caused by ionization of the metal prostheses. The invention is also useful in non-articulating implant devices such as bone plates, bone screws, etc.

Abstract: System and method for controlling an appliance for drying clothing articles is provided. The appliance has a container for receiving the clothing articles. A motor is provided for rotating the container about an axis. A heater is provided for supplying heated air to the container during a dry cycle. A sensor is provided for providing a signal indicative of moisture content of the articles. Memory is provided memory for storing historical stop time data of respective dry cycles. A noise--reduction filter is coupled to receive the signal from the moisture sensor to provide selectable filtering to that signal. A timer provides a signal indicative of elapsed time upon start of the dry cycle. A module is responsive to the historical data in the memory for determining an initial estimate of the stop time of the dry cycle to be executed. A processor allows for estimating the stop time of the dry cycle as the cycle is being executed. The estimation of the stop time is based on a respective functional relationship of the noise-reduced sensor signal, and the timer signal, relative to one or more characteristics of the articles and one or more desired values of predetermined dry-cycle parameters selectable by a respective user of the dryer. The initial estimate of the stop time is superceded by the stop time estimated by the processor as the cycle is being executed.

Filed: 2005-11-16
Granted: 2011-06-28
Abstract: Air is heated by a gas or electric heat exchanger or cooled in an evaporator coil. The air is discharged through a discharge opening to heat or cool an area. Two fans draw an exterior air stream over the gas or electric heat exchanger or the evaporator coil. A first fan has a diameter greater than a diameter of a second fan. When in a side discharge configuration, the second fan is located between the first fan and the side discharge opening. The first fan has a larger diameter to produce a stronger airflow to overcome the airflow produced by the second fan, better distributing the airflow from the first fan. The airflow generated by the second fan is directed to the discharge opening relatively unimpeded.
