Title: Picking head for mushroom harvester: gentle contact of suction cup with mushroom
Inventor: RUSSELL TONY ALBERT
IPC: A01D45/00
Filed: 1991-05-06
Abstract: An automated mushroom harvester has a carriage 19 adapted to be moved over a mushroom-growing area, a picking head assembly being mounted on the carriage. The assembly includes a pneumatic ram 10 mounted for rotation about its own axis, the ram piston rod 14 being non-rotatable with respect to the ram cylinder 12. A suction cap 26 is mounted on the lower end of the rod 14, and control means 24 is provided for the supply of air to and from the ram 10. The control means is operated to drive the ram in such a way as to maintain substantially constant the speed of the suction cap 26 as it approaches a mushroom to be harvested, and to ensure the maximum energy of the moving parts of the picking head assembly is below 0.25 Joules, during that constant speed approach. <IMAGE>

Title: A device for tensioning the cut-in spring in actuator units for circuit breakers
Inventor: MUCKSCH DIETMAR
IPC: H01H3/30
Filed: 1995-04-04
Abstract: The invention concerns a device for tensioning the cut-in spring in actuator units for circuit breakers, in particular vacuum circuit breaker, the cut-in spring (7) being designed as a tensioning spring which is in contact with a cam (2) mounted on the cut-in shaft (5) and which can be tensioned both by an electric motor (20) and by a hand-turned shaft (21) through a spur-gear train, the last spur gearwheel (1) also being mounted on the cut-in shaft (5). The aim of the invention is to design a tensioning device in which the spur-gear train operates without overrunning, and reversing of the cam (2) is prevented or limited by the cut-in spring (7). This is achieved by virtue of the fact that the last spur gearwheel (1) in the spur-gear train is disposed over an overrunning bearing (6) on the cut-in shaft (5) in such a way that, when cut-in spring tensioning begins, the cam (2) and hence also the cut-in shaft (5), are carried directly by the last spur gearwheel (1) out of a position in which they are located past the bottom dead centre position (9) of the shaft (5) as the cam (2) rotates upwards, while, during the cut-in phase, the last spur gearwheel (1) is locked in position, when the cut-in shaft (5) turns through bottom dead centre (9), by the overrunning bearing (6) and by the operative connection with the other spur gearwheels in the spur-gear train.

Title: Forming plastic bag with reclosable fastener strip, leading flange of one fastener member has line of perforations
Inventor: MALIN ART
IPC: B31B19/90
Filed: 1999-05-07
Abstract: A plastic bag with reclosable fastener strips is formed from plastic film.  The reclosable fastener strip includes members 12, 14, with male and female profiles 16, 18.  Each member has a leading flange 30.  One of the leading flanges has a line of perforations 32.  The leading flanges may be sealed or bonded together at 20.  The bag is formed by attaching the strip transversely to the longitudinal axis of the film.  The strips are sealed to the film and to each other at a point between the line of perforations 32 and end 20.  The film, with attached strip is then fed to a form, fill, seal machine, with the leading flanges facing the direction of motion of the film.  In the finished bag, the strips are sealed to the bag walls, with end 20 facing into the bag.  The bag is opened by pulling the strips apart, which tears the strips apart at the line of perforations.  This arrangement prevents the strips fouling the filling funnel during bag formation.

Title: Pilot transmission schemes for a multi-antenna system
Inventor: GORE DHANANJAY ASHOK
IPC: H04L25/02
Filed: 2004-12-03
Abstract: Efficient pilot transmission schemes for multi-antenna communication systems are described. In general, MISO receivers prefer a pilot transmitted in one spatial direction, and MIMO receivers typically require a pilot transmitted in different spatial directions. In one pilot transmission scheme, a first set of T scaled pilot symbols is generated with a first training vector and transmitted (e.g., continuously) from T transmit antennas, where T>1. If MIMO receiver(s) are to be supported by the system, then at least T"1 additional sets of T scaled pilot symbols are generated with at least T"1 additional training vectors and transmitted from the T transmit antennas. The training vectors are for different (e.g., orthogonal) spatial directions. Each MISO receiver can estimate its MISO channel based on the first set of scaled pilot symbols. Each MIMO receiver can estimate its MIMO channel based on the first and additional sets of scaled pilot symbols.
