Title: Method and apparatus for singulating, debarking, scanning and automatically sawing and sorting logs into lengths
Inventor: STARR DONALD
IPC: B27L1/08
Filed: 2000-11-29
Granted: 2006-07-25
Abstract: A log handling and cutting system which cuts logs into lengths, and allows for maximum use of fiber. The system includes equipment for singulating the logs, optimally removing the bark from the logs, scanning the true log image, cutting the logs to length, and sorting the cut logs arranged in a sequence of coupled operations. The logs are singulated using a dual quadrant singulation system to provide maximum singulation reliability, thereby allowing a single operator to attend to this process. Once singulated, the logs are fed automatically into a debarker where the diameter and volume are scanned and debarker-operating parameters are set for optimum bark removal. The log is then scanned, tree length, using a unique scanning system, which determines the true image of the log.  This enables the determination by computer of the optimum bucking solution of the log as well as a proper sorting of the optimum random lengths. The saws are adjusted in response to the computer solution and the log is positioned by a positioner according to a computer generated reference datum. This results in the log being positioned for cutting to the optimum random lengths. A command signal is sent from the computer to the log sorting system, which tracks the position of the random lengths and allows them to be sorted to the appropriate sort storage bin.

Title: Dispensing measured quantities of materials for mixing into a larger batch
Inventor: SANDERS ODIEL
IPC: B01F15/00
Filed: 2000-12-05
Granted: 2008-07-08
Abstract: An apparatus for dispensing measured quantities of particulate material includes a tubular duct arranged so that an air stream in the duct carries material along the duct and a row of hoppers each for containing the material to be dispensed; the hoppers being connected to the duct so that material can be dispensed from the hopper to the duct. A separator container is provided in the duct such that the material in the duct carried by the air flow passes to the separator container. A centrifugal separator section is provided in the container for separating the material from the air flow to deposit the material into the container while the air flow is discharged from the container. The container is mounted on legs with load cells for weighing the deposited material while the material is maintained in the separator container and the air lock valve are controlled so as to continue to discharge the material up to a predetermined weight and to halt the discharge when the predetermined weight is reached.

Title: Device for reverse polarization protection for a battery
Inventor: ALDERSON SHANDON G
IPC: H01M50/597
Filed: 2001-07-16
Granted: 2005-01-25
Abstract: A device providing reverse polarization protection for a battery having both positive and negative terminals disposed at one end of the battery (e.g., a 9 volt "transistor radio" battery). The device is adapted for insertion between the battery terminals and the spring contacts in a battery housing. The device is made from an electrically insulating material (e.g., plastic), and has at least two openings of unequal size defined through it. The first opening has a diameter larger than that of a negative terminal of the battery, while the second opening has a diameter larger than that of a positive terminal of the battery.  The second opening is sized such that the negative terminal of the battery cannot pass through it, thus providing the required mechanical interference for reverse polarity protection. The thickness of the device is less than the height of the battery terminals. The device is capable of moving freely along the axis defined by the length of the battery in conjunction with spring contact compression/decompression, while being retained within the battery housing.  Since the device is thereby able to move, or "float", the product's spring contacts may be the only compliant components.

Abstract: A more reliable and fool-proof method and apparatus for assembling an article of assembly (e.g. with predetermined screw torque requirements) in which the article of assembly has multiple fastening locations. The method comprises holding the article of assembly fixed while providing at least two different types of targets fixed relative to the article of assembly that correspond to the individual fastening locations.  Fasteners are fastened into the article of assembly at the fastening locations. When fastening is occurring at one of the fastening locations, one of the targets is being sensed. Based on the target sensed, a target output is generated that differentiates between different types of targets thereby indicating fastening location of the fastening tool. The electronic target output is used for electronic control such as for stopping a conveyor to keep the article of assembly at an assembly station until the fastening operations have been completed.
