Title: Material handling and sorting system
Inventor: REX MICHAEL PAUL
IPC: B61L23/00
Filed: 1982-08-18
Abstract: Mechanised mail sorting offices require packets to be sorted according to destination into one of many bags. A typical mechanised system includes a loading mechanism for transferring packets from stationary input pockets onto a continuously moving sequence of containers which pass all destinations in turn and unload as required. The system according to the invention consists of a number of separate self powered single trolleys (TL) which run on a tracking network. Each trolley (TL) is adapted to be programmed with the route to be taken to the destination of the packet(s) loaded into it. The trolley (TL) co-operates with en-route track-side signposts (TSB) enabling steering means (SM) in the form of a guide arm at the front of the trolley (TL) to guide the trolley around the tracking network to and from its required destination for unloading its package into a bag. Programming is done by operators at induction stations (ISA, ISB, ISC and ISD) at sidings in the tracking network while the trolleys are stationary.

Title: Method for the generation of a vehicle reference speed as a reference value for the control of wheel slip under braking and/or traction loads
Inventor: FENNEL HELMUT
IPC: B60K28/16
Filed: 1984-11-23
Abstract: For the generation of a vehicle reference speed apt to serve as the reference value for the control of wheel slip on braking and/or traction loads in automotive vehicles, the rotational behaviour of the controlled wheels will be measured, and the vehicle reference speed will be defined by virtue of the rotational behaviour of the individual wheels by way of logic combining, selection according to predetermined criteria and/or comparison with predetermined limit values. To this end, the wheel rotational behaviour of each wheel will be evaluated, for comparison to the wheel-related vehicle reference speed (VRef), according to several predefined criteria (negative or positive acceleration and with velocity greater than or less than Vref i.e. whether the wheel is subject to traction or braking load) and will then be classified into reference- defining periods (periods a to e). In dependence upon the respectively ascertained reference-defining period, a vehicle reference value (b@) related to the individual wheel will be determined, by applying a predetermined factor for each type of period, which, together with the wheel-related vehicle reference values of the other wheels, is evaluated for the determination of the vehicle reference speed. <IMAGE>

Title: Corrosion detection
Inventor: BHATTACHARYA SABYASACHI
IPC: G01N23/18
Filed: 1984-12-21
Abstract: The internal condition of a reinforced concrete element (1) is investigated by passing a substantially collimated beam of medium energy photons (25-1500 KeV) from a source (4), through the element. The photon flux emerging from the element is detected at 5 and calculating means such as a microprocessor (7) estimates the likely internal condition of the element (1) from the photon flux as the source (4) and detector (5) are moved along the concrete element. As the source and detector are moved along the element, either uniformly or with a stepwise motion, any corroded section will cause a variation in the photon flux detected, which will be identified by the microprocessor (7). The source may be a gamma emitter such as Caesium-137, Iridium-192 or Cobalt-60) or a low intensity X-ray generator. The detector may be an ionisation chamber, geiger-counter or photomultiplier/crystal detector. <IMAGE>
