Abstract: An automated order picking system assembled from known, available components and that includes a manager computer (11) to receive orders for goods from a customer and to break the order down into requested full pallets of multiple ordered layers of goods; layers of goods ordered by the customer; compatible ordered layers of goods that can be combined into full pallets; and compatible cases of ordered goods (56) that can be formed into layers and into full pallets of multiple layers of goods; and vertical cells (50) for receiving, storing and delivering cases of the goods. The vertical cells (50) comprise towers having mutually facing tower sections (52a, 52b) that receive goods delivered to feed conveyors by gantry robots having end effectors capable of handling the goods and the tower sections (52a, 52b) passing the goods back and forth as the goods are moved downwardly for placement on the discharge conveyor under the control of a programmable logic controller (14). The full pallets, full layers and cases of goods (56) are conveyed to a palletizer (18) to be organized into the requested orders. <IMAGE>
Patent CA-2112391-A1 (CA)
Inventor: EBERLE MICHAEL J
IPC: A61B8/12
Filed: 1992-06-19
Abstract: An apparatus and method for imaging a small cavity is disclosed wherein reference waveforms to be used in obtaining an improved image are generated in vivo instead of in vitro as in the conventional procedure. The reference waveforms are used to strip the imaging signals of noise that otherwise produces artifacts in an image generated from the signals.      The imaging probe is first inserted into a first area of the vascular system to be imaged and reference waveforms are collected. After collecting the reference waveforms, the imaging probe is further inserted into the vascular system to a second area that is to be imaged. If new reference waveforms are required, the imaging probe is simply withdrawn to the first area of the vascular system wherein new reference waveforms are collected, and then the imaging probe is again further inserted to the second area, which then is imaged. The present invention also provides an imaging apparatus capable of imaging close to the surface of the probe and, in this regard, removes artifacts in the imaging waveforms that usually form a corona in the visual image about the perimeter of the probe.

Title: Impact tool having speed control circuit
Inventor: DEFRANCESCO ANGELO J JR
IPC: B25B23/147
Filed: 1995-04-24
Abstract: An impact tool having a speed limiting control circuit  to  allow an  operator  of  the  tool  to controllably limit the maximum speed of the tool to a predetermined value when a trigger thereof is fully engaged.     The  impact  tool  includes  a  manually adjustable speed limiting control protruding from an outer surface of the impact tool which is conveniently manually adjustable.   The speed limiting control is coupled  to  the  wiper  arm  of  a  speed  limiting potentiometer which is electrically coupled to a speed control circuit within the impact tool.   The speed limiting potentiometer limits the maximum speed of the motor of the impact tool (and thus the maximum torque which can be generated by the impact tool 10) to an operator selected percentage of the maximum motor speed which would otherwise be produced when the trigger is fully engaged. In the preferred embodiment the speed limiting  potentiometer  is  electrically  coupled  in series  between  a  capacitor  and  speed  control potentiometer, which are each coupled to a 555 CMOS timer which controls the duty cycle of an FET used to drive the motor.   The speed limiting potentiometer enables the operator to further limit the maximum duty cycle  of  the  output  of  the  timer,  which  is  a pulse-width-modulated like output, to a percentage of that which would otherwise be produced when the trigger is fully engaged.
