Abstract: A feeding and transport system (13, 14) positively feeds discrete media elements (A) to be addressed (such as envelopes) past a number of print heads (16) in a positive manner to maintain consistent and proper alignment of the printed text on the media elements. First and second feed rollers (24, 30 or 138) feed the media elements (A) to a pair of pinch rollers, the operation of the first roller being interrupted once a media element reaches a predetermined position. A selector bar (33 or 132) with abrasive strips (34) or annular resilient rings (134) is associated with the second feed roller (30 or 138). The pinch rollers feed the media elements (A) onto endless transport belts (42), with transport wiper plates (62) disposed on top of the belts to hold the media elements in contact with the belts. The transport wipers comprise plates mounted by levers (69, 70) at opposite ends in such a way that an element may easily move under a plate, but is held tighter by the plate as it moves along it. At the end of the transport belts (42), an exit roller (118) holds the envelopes generally horizontal until they have almost completely cleared the belts, so that they do not smear previous envelope addresses.

Abstract: A load weighing system for refuse trucks preferably of the type using a front end loader which lifts, empties and lowers containers. Measurements are made of variable angles of pivoting elements and forces within hydraulic cylinders causing the pivoting elements to pivot. Other measurements are made of geometric constants in the apparatus. Sensors monitor the measured variables and the output is provided to a computational unit. The computational unit has been pre-programmed with the measured geometric constants and combines the variables with the constants to calculate a distance to the center of gravity of a container being emptied. Once the distance is calculated, the measured force within the hydraulic cylinder can be used to calculate a weight. The weight of the container being lowered as calculated is then subtracted from the weight of the container raised as calculated. The resultant weight is the weight of the refuse emptied from the contained.

Abstract: Disclosed is a computer system user interface in which the user is provided with a visual indication of whether or not a source object is over a valid target object during direct manipulation operations. A shadow is displayed behind the source object. When the source object is over a valid target, the size of the shadow is reduced or eliminated to give the appearance that the source and target are attracted to each other. When the source object is over an invalid target, the size of the shadow is increased to give the appearance that the source object is repelled by the target object.

Abstract: This invention relates to arrangements for controlling processing of telephone calls from feature processors. Feature processors (30) are data bases, usually shared among a plurality of switching systems (10,11) and usually comprising data for customers served by these switching systems, for altering the processing of telephone calls from and to these customers in accordance with that data. In order to perform this modification, data messages are exchanged between the switching systems and the feature processor. In a departure from the prior art, these data messages include functional indicators (44,54) i.e., indicators of basic characteristics of a call, each of which may be associated with many features and which may influence the execution of other features, wherein the execution of at least some of the features of the two groups can be influenced by the feature processor. Advantageously, the use of functional indicators helps to reduce the amount of data to be transmitted between the switching systems and feature processor.

Abstract: A system for sensing breakage of one or more of a plurality of strands of material (102, 104, 106, 108) that are being fed in unison along an array of separate feed paths (112, 114, 116, 118) while the array of feed paths (112, 114, 116, 118) is being rotated about an imaginary axis (110) that extends substantially centrally among the feed paths (112, 114, 116, 118). Separate indicator assemblies (200) are positioned along each of the separate feed paths (112, 114, 116, 118) and preferably are arranged in a substantially circular array that extends substantially concentrically about the axis of rotation (110). At least one optical detector (600) is positioned alongside the substantially circular path of movement (610) that is followed by the indicator assemblies (200) as they rotate, whereby, at least once during each revolution, each of the indicator assemblies (200) is caused to move past an optical detector (600). In the event that any of the indicator assemblies (200) detects breakage of its associated strand (102, 104, 106, 108), an associated indicator flag (500) is pivoted quickly under the action of an associated biasing device (475) from its normally nested position to an extended position that will be sensed as the flag-extended indicator assembly (200) moves past an optical detector (600). The indicator flags (500) preferably are carried by pivotally mounted arms (400) that are counterbalanced to prevent their being influenced either by centrifugal force or by changes in the speed of rotation. The indicator assemblies (200) preferably use adjustable torsion coil springs (475) as their biasing devices, and preferably are provided with latches (552) for releasably holding the flag-carrying arms (400) nested during re-threading of strands (102, 104, 106, 108) along the feed paths (112, 114, 116, 118).
