Abstract: The invention pertains to an apparatus and method for receiving ordered products and/or making products available for pickup, particularly in the absence of the user. The apparatus has a lockable container of the products with at least an input device and a controller with a memory element. The method employs this reception/provision apparatus. In order to create a method for receiving ordered products and/or making products available for pickup that requires easy handling and slight construction measures at the residence or place of business of the user, it is proposed in regard to the apparatus that a control unit ( 18 ) comprising at least input device ( 6 ), controller ( 7 ) and memory element ( 8 ) can be positioned with container ( 2 ) in front of the user's residence or place of business for an expected delivery/pickup. With regard to the method, it is proposed that, after a completed ordering process, the obtained order information ( 9 ) be input by the user into memory element ( 8 ) of reception/provision apparatus ( 1 ) to put reception/provision apparatus ( 1 ) in a state of readiness and that transportable reception/provision apparatus ( 1 ) be positioned in front of the user's residence or place of business for the expected delivery or pickup of product ( 11 ).

Abstract: The invention provides a method and apparatus for positioning a surface (30) in a desired orientation. There is provided a movable member (10) supported for movement by a fixed member (40) and the movable member has an optical element, e.g. a flat mirror (30) fixedly attached thereto. In one embodiment the mirror scans a radiation beam incident thereon along a single axis. In a second embodiment, the radiation beam is scanned in two mutually perpendicular axes. A magnetic element (50) having a north and a south magnetic pole is fixedly attached to the movable member (10). A magnetically permeable stator element (70), that is stationary with respect to the movable member (10) and the magnetic element (50), is placed in the field of the magnetic element (50) such that the stator element (70) and said magnetic element (50) mutually generate a magnetic traction force between them. A current coil (60) is wound around a portion of the stator element (70) and a current driver (400) is provided for driving a current in the current coil (60). The current induces an electromagnetic field in the stator element (70) and an electromagnetic force acts on the magnetic element (50) for controlling movement of the surface (30) with respect to the fixed element (40). A radiation beam source (502) may be directed onto the movable mirror surface (30) and scanned by the movement of the mirror to direct the radiation beam in a desired propagation direction.

Abstract: A drive-on dry dock (10) especially suited for a boat (12) longer than about thirty feet and weighing more than about seven thousand pounds. The dock (10) includes a platform (14), a guide (16), and a lift (18). The platform (14) includes an aft section (20), a forward section (22), and a hinge section (24) therebetween. The guide (16) defines a path for movement of the boat (12) from the aft section (20) to a rest position whereat the boat's bow engages and is supported by the forward section (22). The lift shifts the platform (14) between a first condition in which the aft section is only buoyant enough to support itself and so can be downwardly flexed form a ramp for the boat (12) and a second condition in which the aft section is sufficiently buoyant to lift the boat out of the water.

Abstract: A deck screw and an installation method is intended for use with composite lumber, although it can be used with other products. The deck screw may be provided with a head and a shaft that has two regions of varying diameter. The upper region has threads that exceed the number of threads of the lower shaft, on a unit length basis. The threads of the upper shaft may be configured in an inverted buttress design. The lower region of the shaft terminates at a tapered distal end having a pointed tip that leads the screw through the wood material. The head of the screw is provided with an upper surface, a lower surface, and a crown that extends around the perimeter of the head. The crown extends beyond the lower surface of the head, forming a recessed region between the lower edge of the crown and the shaft of the screw. During installation the geometry of the deck screw functions to direct and capture displaced composite material to prevent volcanoing.

Abstract: La présente invention a trait à un mécanisme de synchronisation et un procédé de synchronisation de dispositifs d'écoute à distance qui sont couplés ensemble à un bus. Le mécanisme de synchronisation compare un signal sur le bus à l'aide d'un signal d'horloge sur le dispositif d'écoute et règle l'horloge en fonction de la comparaison. Cela permet la synchronisation précise de dispositifs d'écoute distants par le mécanisme de synchronisation sans nécessiter d'horloges de haute précision ou d'autres solutions plus complexes. Le mécanisme et le procédé de synchronisation sont particulièrement aptes à la synchronisation de dispositifs d'écoute distants dans un système d'écoute réparti qui effectue l'échantillonnage et la diffusion numériques à des fins de communication. Dans cette application, le mécanisme de synchronisation améliore la qualité sonore par la synchronisation de l'échantillonnage et de la puissance de sortie de chaque dispositif d'écoute sur le bus. Cela améliore la qualité sonore en réduisant la distorsion se produisant occasionnée par des temps d'échantillonnage différents.

Abstract: A pipe coupling ( 11 ) comprises a tubular casing ( 12 ) and a sealing gasket ( 13 ), which fit over the ends of the pipes to be coupled. The casing ( 12 ) is formed from a strip of rolled steel into a cylindrical shape, with a longitudinal gap ( 14 ). The free ends of the strip, which forms the casing, are bent outwardly to form radially projecting flange ( 15 ) along opposite edges of the longitudinal gap ( 14 ). The outer ends of the flanges ( 15 ) are bent back at right angles to form stiffening flanges ( 16 ) along the longitudinal outer edges of the flanges ( 15 ). A bridging member ( 18 ) fits inside the casing so as to span the longitudinal gap. Tensioning screw bolts ( 25 ) pass through reinforcing plate's ( 20 ) and the flange ( 15 ). A hexagonal nut ( 34 ) is threaded onto the end of each screw bolt. The nuts fit into the channel but are prevented from turning. The heads ( 35 ) of the bolts have a hexagonal recess to take an Allen key so that they can be tightened to clamp the coupling around the pipe ends.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une mémoire et un procédé connexe permettant la programmation et la détection d'une pluralité de cellules de mémoire en parallèle, de manière à réduire les erreurs causées par le couplage entre les champs des cellules voisines, afin d'améliorer la performance. Dans cette mémoire et ce procédé, la pluralité de cellules de mémoire sont reliées par la même ligne de mot, et un circuit de lecture/écriture est connecté de manière contiguë avec chaque cellule de mémoire. Une cellule de mémoire est ainsi programmée conjointement avec ses voisins et le champ environnant de chaque cellule de mémoire présente moins de variations par rapport ses voisins pendant la programmation et la lecture subséquente. Ce procédé permet d'améliorer la performance et de réduire les erreurs causées par le couplage avec les champs des cellule voisines, par comparaison aux architectures conventionnelles et aux procédés consistant à programmer les cellules des colonnes paires indépendamment des cellules des colonnes impaires.
