Patent EP-0769324-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HEIN AXEL
IPC: B02C4/12
Filed: 1996-10-18
Abstract: This novel unit compresses waste containers such as PET plastic bottles and tins. The new design accommodates a motor-driven wheel (42) in a casing (18), with a curved metal sheet (52) around and opposite a part of its circumference. The radius of curvature of the sheet decreases in progressing around the wheel, from the initial- to the final section. At the start, the radius of curvature exceeds that of the wheel; at the end, it resembles that of the wheel. Hence a wedge-like, narrowing clearance is seen between wheel and sheet. The circumference (48) of the wheel has carriers (50) drawing the vessels in for compression, pulling them through the constriction. Pref. the wheel has a structured surface. The surface may be rubber or similar material. It can have a rim (44) with an inflatable tyre (46) mounted upon it. The carrier elements on the circumference are projections (50) such as pegs, pins, studs, strips etc. Spacing between wheel and sheet is adjustable. The axis (36) of the wheel is adjustably mounted on the casing (18) of the unit. The axis is horizontal, and the start of the sheet is above the axis; its termination at about the same height. The wheel axis (36) may be vertical. The direction of rotation is reversible. In the interests of overload protection, the spacing between wheel and sheet can be increased, against spring loading. The wheel axis is resiliently mounted. The casing has two openings; through the first (24) a feeder (12) supplies the containers automatically; the second (64) is fed manually. The walls of the casing (18) form side walls of the wedge-shaped.

Abstract: A quantitative charging apparatus of the present invention comprises a large charging storage cup and a plurality of additive storage cups having different capacity ratios in which articles are filled with even cupfuls. The capacity of the large charging storage cup is set so as to store the articles having a weight which is smaller than and close to a target weight. The articles within the large charging storage cup is weighed by a load cell to obtain a large charging weight, and the weights of the articles within the additive storage cups are weighed by other load cells. A control device finds, as an underweight, the difference between the large charging weight and the target weight, and selects the suitable combination of the additive storage cups having capacities which are close to the underweight. The articles within the selected additive storage cups are supplied into a container together with the articles within the large charging storage cup through a chute. In addition, a plurality of additive auxiliary cups may be provided. In this case, if the maximum capacity of the additive storage cups is V max , the reference value of the bulk density of the articles is d, and the maximum dispersion ratio of the bulk densities is Z, the capacities of the additive storage cups and additive auxiliary cups are determined in such a manner that the total weight of the articles within the additive auxiliary cups is the closest to 2ZdV max .

Abstract: This Protection System, for PC Software stored in CD-ROM, prevents the illegal copying (hacking) with negligible cost increase of the protected Application. The same CD-ROM that contains the Application Software serves as a "protection key". The CD-ROM disk undergoes a special treatment during its production phase that results in the generation of the Inspection Ring. This system uses a special method for the verification of the authenticity of the Inspection Ring. The existence of the Inspection Ring along with the use of the authenticity verification procedure make impossible the copying of the CD-ROM disk even with the most advanced recording equipment. This system has many advantages over other protection methods like: excellent protection, transparency to the end-user and very low cost since the "protection-key" is the same CD-ROM disk that contains the Application. This system can be used for the protection of every Application Software for PC compatibles that is stored in a CD-ROM and runs under DOS or Windows environments.

Abstract: The present invention is a picture processing device which will not diminish the attractiveness or interest to be given to a game player even when moving directions of a plurality of objects are controlled to be substantially the same direction. 
     CPU 101 reads a coordinate position of a player's aircraft from ROM 111 in realizing an air battle game device. CPU sets the moving direction of an opponent's aircraft at the moving direction of the player's aircraft. Accordingly, on a TV monitor, a picture is developed, in which the player's aircraft can be easily moved toward behind the opponent's aircraft even by randomly controlling an input device 11. CPU then proceeds from this control processing to the processing to change the course of the player's aircraft to a course to fly around the opponent's aircraft and outputs this picture to the TV monitor.
