Title: Automated lateral translation conveyor
Inventor: BONNET HENRI
IPC: B65G17/08
Filed: 1998-01-20
Abstract: An automated conveyor sortation and item discharge system for sorting items of varying sizes and weights to designated output destinations along a conveyor, The system utilizes a segmented slat conveyor connected by flexible connectors. The flexible connectors form a tooth for driving the conveyor by a sprocket. The flexible connectors isolate adjacent slats, and the flexible teeth isolate the slat conveyor from the drive sprocket for an enhanced reduction in noise levels. The system may utilize a conventional belt conveyor or rigid platforms attached by flexible connectors. Removable ejection mechanisms can be attached to the individual slats of the slat conveyor or to the belt of a belt conveyor. The ejection mechanisms have self contained drive and actuation mechanisms and may operate independently of the speed of the conveyor. The drive mechanism for the ejection mechanism may be located separately from the ejection mechanism to drive the ejection mechanism when the ejection mechanism moves adjacent to a desired discharge destination. A programmable controller may be provided to control the conveyor and the discharge of items from the conveyor by the ejection mechanisms. The system is easy to repair and operates at high speeds at reduced noise levels.

Title: Grader attachment for a skid steer
Inventor: MARQUARDT LONNIE L
IPC: E02F3/76
Filed: 2003-10-17
Abstract: A grader attachment for a skid steer utilizes the skid steer's auxiliary hydraulics to power an independent hydrostatic steering system for the grader and to control skid steer propulsion and grader blade position. The attachment mounts to the skid steer via a standard mounting connection. The auxiliary hydraulics of the skid steer are routed through a flow control valve and then through a safety valve/back pressure valve before being tapped to control the steering, blade positioning and propulsion systems of the grader. The steering and propulsion systems use a cross bar which connects to the hand control levers of the skid steer. The foot pedal used to control propulsion of the skid steer and attachment has a centering system so that the cylinder goes back to neutral when an operator's foot is removed from the pedal stopping the unit. The blade positioning system utilizes pairs of lift and angle cylinders which allow the blade to be rotated or tilted.

Abstract: L'invention a trait à un système et à un procédé améliorés de codage d'images numériques dans des trames, en vue d'une transmission télévisuelle numérique. Chaque trame d'ancrage se trouvant dans un premier codeur de passage est codée sous forme de trame P. Des groupes de macroblocs, tels que des tranches situées dans la trame P, sont codées de façon alternée, sous forme de tranches I et de tranches P. Cette fonction permet de calculer la complexité de codage tant de I que de P en un passage unique, sans nécessiter le double codage d'une même trame. De cette manière, la décision concernant la trame I peut être prise au niveau d'un second codeur de passage, et non au niveau du premier codeur de passage, ce qui permet de tirer parti d'une architecture pipeline à anticipation, afin d'aligner plus efficacement les trames I avec les changements de scènes.
