Abstract: Method and apparatus enable cutting out shapes (S) preset in moving sheet material (10) by locating coordinates of one or more fiducials (F,F2...) in the sheet material (10) with a vision system (12). The fiducials (F,F2 ...) correspond to a pattern (P) for the preset shape (S).

The concurrent processes of cutting and locating subsequent fiducials (F.F2...) are repeated substantially continuously. Preferably, using two or more fiducials (F,F2...), distortion is detected and the pattern (P) can be remapped before cutting for accurate superposition of the pattern (P) and distorted preset shape (S).

Abstract: Conventional EAS systems, such as ULTRA*MAX, use noncoherent detection and a highly nonlinear post detection combining algorithm. It is well known that using the phase information that is present in the received signal has advantages in detection performance. This is difficult to do in conventional ULTRA*MAX receiver because of the combination of a narrow signal bandwidth and short receive window duration. A method to incorporate signal phase into the detector by differential coherent combining is provided, which significantly improves processing gain that was not previously obtainable.

Abstract: A device for creating a seal that includes an upper seal (12), a lower seal (14), and a slider (16), wherein mating surfaces (20, 22) of the upper and lower seals interlock. A lifting rib (46) on the slider (16) cooperates with a lifting wing (24) on the upper seal (12) and a closure bar (48) cooperates with a closure bar groove (32) on the lower seal (14). By moving the slider (16) in one direction, the lifting rib (46) lifts the upper seal from its interlocking relationship with the lower seal. Moving the slider (16) in the opposite direction causes the seals to interlock. Also disclosed is a seal device that includes upper and lower seals and a cooperating slider and plug (104). Each of the slider and plug cooperate with first and second mating surfaces of the two seals. In addition, the slider and plug have an exterior tongue and groove portion (116, 114) that cooperate to interlock the slider and the plug.

Title: Control of multi-variable processes
Inventor: BROOKS ROBIN WILLIAM
IPC: G06T11/20
Filed: 2002-05-08
Granted: 2010-01-26
Abstract: Control of a multi-variable process involves multi-dimensional representation of the values (Qa-Qh) of the process variables according to individual coordinate axes (Xa-Xh), and response based on sets of values for the process-variables accumulated from multiple, earlier operations of the process. An acceptable range (UL-LL) for each process variable due to the current values of the other variables is defined from the accumulated values, and the existence of an alarm condition in which the current value (Qg) of a variable lies outside the range defined for it, is detected and displayed (UC) on the relevant axis (Xg). The change of the values (Qa, Qb) of one or more of the manipulatable variables (a-c) required to rectify the alarm condition is determined iteratively, and implemented by operator or automated response.
