Title: Method and system for monitoring the status of articles, particularly in warehousing
IPC: G06Q10/08
Filed: 1981-03-16
Abstract: A method and system for monitoring the status of arti­
cles, particularly in a warehousing system in which stored 
articles are to be picked and sorted for despatch. The system 
includes a distribution audit system computer (32) which 
receives batch picking information on a recording medium 
(23) identifying each transaction or article to be picked with a 
unique number. Associated with each unique-number is pro­
cessing information for controlling the sorting of the article 
within the system. The same number, unique for each article, 
is contained on a label (20) positioned on each article as it is 
picked. Computer control means (60) provides continuous 
monitoring of the article as it is scanned by one or more label 
reading devices (44, 46) such that the picking and sorting 
status of each article to be picked can be continuously moni­
tored. The system includes an operatorinterface terminal (40) 
and printers (36, 38) for providing a variety of status reports to 
the operating personnel such that the operational status of the 
system can be continuously monitored.

Title: Planing machine
IPC: B27C1/12
Filed: 1981-01-19
Abstract: The machine for trimming pieces of wood, such as a surfacing, planing or other machine, comprises a rotary tool having a tool holder provided with projecting axially extending blades and adapted to machine at least one surface of the piece of wood. This tool has, on the input side and output side thereof, two driving rollers for driving the pieces of wood. These rolls have axes parallel to the axis of the tool and are connected to rotate with the latter by a speed reducing mechanism. The mechanism employs a sun and planet train one of the sun wheels of which is mounted directly on the shaft of one of the driving rollers. Another sun wheel is freely rotatable on this shaft and is prevented from rotating relative to the frame of the machine.

Abstract: Transverse mounting of the arc tube within the lamp 
jacket is effected through a mount featuring a hinged self-­
latching attachment of the arc tube to a support rod 
extending the length of the jacket and serving also as 
electrical connector to one electrode. A flexible connector 
makes connection to the other electrode. During manufac­
ture the hinges permit the arc tube to be folded in line with 
the support rod for passage through the neck and then to be 
transversely erected in the jacket, and the latch thereupon 
locks the arc tube in the transverse attitude.

Title: Method and apparatus for recovering information from a videodisc
IPC: G11B17/00
Filed: 1983-04-14
Abstract: A system for recovering information from a videodisc and performing special functions which enhance the operational character of the system. To increase the reliability of landing at or near a target track, provisions are made to search for a track adjacent a target track whose track identifier has been obliterated. Further, a method and means for stepping forward or reverse one field at a time is disclosed. Another aspect of the invention concerns a capability to respond to a random command instruction resulting in subsequent functioning of the system in a random manner. Yet a further aspect of the invention is related to controlled jumping of one or more tracks during vertical blanking time to produce unique forward or backward motions; multiples of playing speed, both forward and reverse, and visual special effects can be realized using the multiple track jumping feature. Finally, a method and means are described which permit synchronous transmission of video from a videodisc to an external using device.

IPC: F02D41/02
Filed: 1983-11-14
Abstract: An electronic control fuel injection system for a spark 
ignition internal combustion engine (12) is described where 
in: a signal corresponding to the stroke imported to an 
accelerator pedal (28) by an operator is supplied to a com­
puter (20) where, in a shaping section (32), a corresponding 
fuel demand signal is derived in accordance with a selected 
one (A, B or C) of a plurality of functions each specifying a 
respective predetermined relation between value of fuel 
command signal, corresponding to fuel flow rate, and ac­
celerator pedal displacement, The fuel command signal of 
the representative of the selected fuel flow rate is then 
passed to a section (36) of the computer (20) which passes 
a corresponding control signal via line (27), to a fuel injector 
(22) and which also determines the corresponding optimum 
air flow rate and controls the opening of a throttle valve (16) 
to provide it. The selection of the respective function defin­
ing the relationship of the accelerator pedal movement to 
actual fuel flow command can be made by the operator or 
driver via a selector (34), to provide a desired engine res­
ponse characteristic. Thus, the drive feeling for a vehicle 
can be varied within a range from normal to either a faster 
or more conservative engine reaction.

Title: Arrangement for information transmission between microprocessors in a decentralized process control system, in particular for telephone installations
IPC: H04Q3/545
Filed: 1984-07-06
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of transferring information between microcomputers in a decentralized process control system, particularly for telephone systems. To prevent contention for possession of the information transfer bus without the need for central equipment, a simple bus system consisting of a multiwire data bus and two single-wire control buses is proposed. Bus mastership is passed on after transmission, with the address of the next transmitter being determined by each microcomputer itself and forming part of each message. Bus mastership is determined by communication of the previous transmitter and by calculations performed by the microcomputer itself.

IPC: F16L37/38
Filed: 1986-03-27
Abstract: A hose-end valve device (10) to control the flow of water 
from a garden hose (18) and liquid from an attached pressurized 
container (14) with a single motion. The control device (10) 
includes a camming ring (70) rotatably mounted on an extension 
(48) of a hose coupling (16). Rotational movement of the cam­
ming ring (70) with respect to a tubular member (46) which is 
attached to an actuator panel causes axially interacting camming 
surfaces (76; 88, 94) to change the relative axial positions of the 
ring (70) and tubular member (46) thereby opening or closing an 
axially movable water flow valve (50, depending on the direction 
of rotation. Rotational movement of the camming ring (70) with 
respect to a fixed frame opening (30) causes radially interacting 
camming surfaces (102, 104; 110) to move the actuator panel 
(32) radially which depresses or raises the valve stemn (24) of the 
pressurized container (14). A preferred axially movable valve (50) 
is an accordion-like self-closing washer-valve (52, 54).
