Abstract: Compensation for the effects of duty cycle on the output level of an imaging device, and for the effects of periodically varying distance between the output of the imaging device and its target, is accomplished electronically. An exemplary apparatus includes a source of radiation (generally a laser) having an output level that varies both with an input power level and, undesirably, with the duty cycle. The apparatus also includes means for focusing the radiation onto a recording surface, and a power supply for driving the radiation source. In the case of a diode laser, the power supply delivers a variable current, the magnitude of which determines the power output of the laser. The radiation source is operated to produce, on the recording surface, an imagewise pattern of spots, and an adjustment facility alters the output of the power supply to compensate for output-level variations resulting from duty cycle-that is, from the recent pattern of laser activity. In a first embodiment, the invention includes an up-down counter that receives, as input, the same binary image data in serial form that is used to determine the state of the radiation source as it scans over a recording medium (causing actuation of the source only when adjacent to a location on the recording medium that is to be written). The counter increments during clock cycles when the radiation source is active, and decrements during inactive cycles. As a result, the state of the counter generally reflects the recent pattern of radiation-source activity, and its contents are used to address a list of correction values. In a second embodiment, serial image data is applied to a shift register rather than a counter. This provides a more precise record of the pattern of recent activity, and the instantaneous contents of the register are once again used to address a list of correction values. To compensate for the effects eccentric rotation on the output level of an imaging device, a function that inverts or at least counteracts the resulting power variations is applied to the power supply operating the radiation source. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A controller system for an electric lift truck that controls a traction motor (86) and a hydraulic pump motor (12) is disclosed. The speed of rotation of both motors (86, 12) is controlled by a pulse width modulated current supplied from a battery source (84) by the controller (80) in direct response to a demand communicated to the controller (80) through an interface (50) manipulated by an operator. A pump (13) driven by the pump motor (12) supplies pressurised hydraulic fluid to a lift mechanism (90) and a power assisted steering unit (17). A priority valve (14) ensures that the pressurized hydraulic fluid first satisfies the power assisted steering unit (17) before being used for other hydraulic functions. A joystick (52) with function switches (56, 58, 60 and 62) is provided so that the operator steers with one hand while controlling truck propulsion and all functions of the lift mechanism (90) with the other hand. The combination of direct control of the pump motor (12) speed and on-demand pressure switch (16) enables a fully proportional control of the hydraulic system. The system provides a compact structure with minimal cabling and ensures that the hydraulic system operates with energy efficiency and minimal wear.

Abstract: A pusher assembly for diverting the flow of articles on a conveyor includes a pusher arm that provides smooth engagement of the articles with minimal impact and a return path of the pusher which travels through the space previously occupied by the article being sorted. Consequently, the pusher assembly enables minimum spacing between articles on the conveyor and increases the sortation rate of the pusher assembly. The pusher assembly includes a pusher and a driver, which is coupled to the pusher. The driver moves the pusher from an initial retracted position adjacent the conveyor to a first diverting position, wherein the pusher pivots about a point spaced downstream from a downstream end of the pusher so that an upstream end of the pusher moves into contact with the side of the article. The driver further moves the pusher such that the pusher pivots about the upstream end so that the downstream end of the pusher rolls and moves into contact with the side of the article. The driver then pivots the pusher about an intermediate portion such that the upstream end of the pusher moves out of the path of on coming articles and the downstream end continues to push against the side of the articles to rotate the article in a direction substantially orthogonal to the flow of the conveyor. This movement is followed by the driver pivoting the pusher in an opposite direction about the intermediate portion to disengage the pusher from the article and to return the pusher to its initial retracted position.

Abstract: A peg has a one-piece clip essentially consisting of two branches, each branch having an anterior part forming a jaw and a posterior part forming a lever arm. The peg also has a hinge around a rotational axis that connects the branches at an intermediate point. A spring extending along a direction substantially perpendicular to the rotational axis is mounted and compressed between the two lever-forming parts of the two branches. The spring urges, under its biasing resilience, the two branches to a closed position. The spring has a biasing force in the direction of increasing its axial longitudinal dimension that is more controllable over time than a spring having a biasing torque. Thus, over time the pressure exerted by the arms of the peg in the closed position remains more constant.
