Title: Part sorting and aligning apparatus
Inventor: SCHMITZ JOSEPH PAUL
IPC: B65G47/14
Filed: 2000-12-13
Abstract: A part sorting and aligning apparatus for picks parts out of a hopper, aligns the parts and conveys them to another location. The apparatus includes a tilted rotary wheel next to the hopper. Multiple arrays of hooks or pickup members are mounted for rotation on the wheel. The bottom of the hopper has a sliding plate which has slots through which the hooks travel as the hooks move upwardly into and through the hopper. Each pickup member has a weight bar which hangs from the pickup member. As the wheel rotates, the hooks engage and pick up parts as the hooks move upwardly through the hopper.

Abstract: There is disclosed a prepaid system (10) and method for permitting a prepaid subscriber of the cellular wireless telecommunication system to revise call features during a call within the operators node and from roaming locations to debit the subscribers prepaid account on a real-time basis. The system includes a switching node (14) permitting (50) a call to be set up with the prepaid subscriber (16) when a prepaid service credit balance exists and terminating the call when the prepaid service credit balance is nil. The switching node continually generates (52, 54) real-time call event Data Message Handier (DMH) formatted messages related to the call made by the prepaid subscriber and forwards these call event messages to a prepaid administrative network (38). The prepaid administrative network stores (56) the prepaid service credit balance of the prepaid subscriber and generates at call set up an initial charge debiting rate (60) used during the call to reduce the prepaid service credit balance. The prepaid administrative network, in response to the real-time call event messages received from the detailed call event generation means, revises the initial charge debiting rate to generate a real-time debiting rate used during the call to reduce the prepaid service credit balance.

Abstract: Un signal haute fréquence est reçu au moyen d'un convertisseur analogique-numérique sigma-delta, de sorte que le signal haute fréquence soit échantillonné à une vitesse d'échantillonnage et que des échantillons numériques à un binaire, représentant un signal haute fréquence intermédiaire numérique soit ainsi généré. Le signal haute fréquence intermédiaire est démodulé de manière que des échantillons en quadrature et en phase soient générés. La démodulation peut s'effectuer par la génération d'un premier signal mixte par la combinaison des échantillons numériques à un binaire, représentant le signal de fréquence intermédiaire, à une première séquence représentant un signal de mélange cosinusoïdal; par la génération d'un deuxième signal mixte par la combinaison des échantillons numériques à un binaire, représentant le signal de fréquence intermédiaire, à une deuxième séquence représentant un signal de mélange sinusoïdal; et par la décimation des premier et deuxième signaux mixtes de manière que les échantillons en phase et en quadrature soient générés. Dans d'autres modes de réalisation, le signal de fréquence intermédiaire est directement converti en signaux en phase et en quadrature par filtrage de décimation dans la bande passante de manière que deux séquences de la fréquence intermédiaire, décalées dans le temps, soient sous-échantillonnées. Dans encore un autre mode de réalisation, le convertisseur analogique-numérique sigma-delta utilise le sous-échantillonnage pour convertir le signal haute fréquence en une première fréquence intermédiaire, et un filtre de décimation est utilisé pour la conversion du signal en une deuxième fréquence intermédiaire. Un démodulateur IQ reconstruit ensuite les signaux en phase et en quadrature, à partir du deuxième signal de fréquence intermédiaire.
