Patent CA-2137718-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DICKSON CHARLES R
IPC: A47B17/00
Filed: 1994-12-09
Abstract: A variety of means has been devised for the attachment of shopping lists to grocery carts. In this invention, a panel to which a list may be affixed is contained within a rotatable frame which, in its upright position, provides the means by which the list may be hung on a wall and, in its inverted postion, provides the means by which the list may be mounted on the back support of an infant seat on a standard shopping cart. When mounted on a shopping cart, the list is presented on a rigid, smooth panel in an essentially vertical position with a slight rearward inclination, providing optimal visibilty within the shopper's normal lines of sight, and a solid writing surface within an easy arm's reach of the shopper, without obstructing access to or reducing the carrying capacity of the shopping cart. By providing a dedicated location in the household for a list to which entries may be made as they occur between shoppings, and a novel means by which that same list may be mounted easily and conveniently on a grocery cart, the value of the shopping list as an organizing tool and, consequently, the efficiency with which shopping may take place, are enhanced by this invention.

Abstract: There is disclosed a crate for holding packages and which is foldable, thereby reducing the amount of storage space required to store and transport crates. Because it is foldable, it is not as attractive to would-be thieves seeking to use the crate as a supporting component of a shelving system.  A folding crate for holding packages includes a base having a substantially planar support surface and four side walls which are each located along one of the sides of the base.  Each side of the base is provided with a hinge pin member having a longitudinal axis that is vertically spaced from the plane of the support surface.  Each of the pin members is generally oval or elliptical in cross-section with the minor axis of the cross-section being positioned substantially parallel to the plane of the support surface and the major axis of the cross-section being positioned substantially perpendicular to the plane of the support surface. Each of the side walls has at least one knuckle extending from the lower end.  The knuckle on each side wall has a substantially circular through hole which loosely receives the hinge pin member so that the side wall can be pivoted form an upright position to an inwardly folded position.  The knuckle on each side wall is provided with a slotted opening which extends through a wall of the knuckle and into the through hole for allowing the side wall to be mounted on the respective hinge pin member.  The slotted opening possesses a width that is less than the dimension of the cross-section of the hinge pin member as measured along the major axis.  In addition, at least one of the side walls is provided with a protuberance on the outer surface that extends outwardly away from surrounding areas of the side wall.  The protuberance is hollow and has an open lower end for receiving a tool for use in moving the crate and a plurality of other crates stacked thereon.

Title: Method and Apparatus for a Two Speed Strap Take Up
Inventor: ANNIS JAMES R JR
IPC: B65B13/22
Filed: 1995-01-13
Abstract: A method and apparatus for a two speed strap take up usable in a strapping machine. The two speed strap take up apparatus generally comprises a high speed roller assembly (20) driven by a high speed drive shaft (28), a low speed roller assembly (40) driven by a low speed drive shaft (48), a shaft rotation reduction assembly (56) interconnecting the high speed drive shaft (28) and the low speed drive shaft (48), and a roller clutch assembly (220) inter-connecting the shaft rotation reduction assembly (56) and the low speed drive shaft (48). An input clutch assembly (250) may inter-connect the high speed drive shaft (28) and an input drive means. In operation, a strap (12) is disposed between and frictionally engaged by a high speed roller (22) of the high speed roller assembly (20) and a low speed roller (42) of the low speed roller assembly (40). The low speed roller (42) is then driven in rotation by the high speed roller (22). When a first tension is applied to the strap (12), the high speed roller (22) slips relative to the high speed drive shaft (28) until the roller clutch (220) inter-connecting the shaft rotation reduction assembly (56) and the low speed drive shaft (48) engages and rotates the low speed drive shaft (48) at a reduced rotation rate relative to the rotation rate of the high speed drive shaft (28). The strap (12) is now driven by both rollers (22, 42) at the reduced rotation rate as the high speed roller (22) slips relative to the high speed drive shaft (28). When a second tension, greater than the first tension, is applied to the strap (12), the low speed roller (42) slips relative to the low speed drive shaft (48) at which time the strapping machine may perform additional functions on the strap (12) such as securing it around a package. <IMAGE>

Title: Vocal activity detection
Inventor: CHAOUI JAMIL
IPC: G10L25/90
Filed: 1995-11-20
Abstract: The detector calculates autocorrelation coefficients, R(k) for a signal. A first vector (RO) is composed from a first series, K = 0 ... (N-q), and a second vector (Rq) is formed from the components, k = q ...N. which are shifted by q relative to the first. The first vector is subtracted from the second to yield a difference vector, delta, R, from which a first standard vector is obtained. A reduced standard is obtained by dividing the first standard vector by a reduction value to give a second indicator. The reduction value is calculated from the energy of the audio signal or the sum of the audio energy and a bottom value, C. The linear combination of the present and previous value give a third indicator and these are measured against a threshold.
